On the 5th January The Valley will be rocking, 20 years after that day between these two sides at Wembley and at a level lower they are again competing to rise on the league ladder.
But whilst the Roker Roar will be transferred from the Stadium of Light to the Valley and the Valley away end will be full and rocking, the home stands will be be relatively empty and muted due to Duchatalet.
I have a request, or a beg or a wish. 5th January could be the most important game for years .. the result can
1. Give momentum for our promotion push.
2. Give belief to the players that they can do it.
3. Tell potential bidders, whether their bid is on the table or a mere twinkle of a thought in their head , that this is a club with fans that can not only challenge bad ownership, but support and promote good management and players on the field.
So the wish to
Other bloggers whose words, coverage and influence is greater than this blogger, please blog to your audience the importance of attending this fixture.
CAST call on your members to attend, you are the supporters trust promote the team, promote Bowyer, promote Taylor, promote Promote the heart of Charlton if only for this one day.
The fans who are boycotting, I understand but for this one day see your attendance as the day we hauled back Sunderland be part of it and help get rid of Duchatalet by pushing your team into the Championship.
The Club its not too late to put on a deal to boost attendance
The Championship is within touching distance .. we have Bowyer and Jacko and we have a team worthy of our support.
Please let the mist of the Thames roll in and mute the Roker roar, lets fill the Valley and make it rock.
Merry Christmas, together we can make it a great New Year!

You know it makes sense
it would be nice to think that the reign of Duchatalet is soon to come to an end, but as most blogs are saying "We will believe it when we see it!"
The spectre of january sales hangs over the club to fund Duchatalets losses prior to any sale. There are very few players we can afford to lose, as when Joe Dodoo came in for Robinson we need bodies in the house, although it is hoped that the contribution from others is greater than that of the Dodoo!! If we do have to lose anyone then Ajose would be my sacrificial lamb, although even he in his languid way is contributing when he is on the pitch. Two fo teh goals in Taylors Mansfield hat trick were Ajose assists as was taylors goal v Wimbledon when we looked like we would be locked out.
Whilst some would say sense is not a word in Duchatalets vocabulary, it does not make sense for him to have a garage sale in January.
If he has a buyer on the doorstep, one of their motivations to buy now or soon is that we look like we could be a good bet for promotion, with very little extra investment. As a League 1 club he knows that we are difficult to market and the prospect of operating at the Chamionship level and gateway to the Prem makes us a lot more saleable at even his inflated prices. Selling Taylor and playing Hackett- Fairchild i not going to push us over the line, if anything we need a modern day Jim Melrose to come in and give us that final impetus to take us, if not to the promised land, at least half way through the Red Sea.
Maybe at a stretch a transfer fund of £3 million comes in all is does is offset the costs for a max of 5 months, whilst reducing the overall value of the club and extending the period without a sale well beyond the 5 months during which we have the zero income summer period.
So Roland .. you are a business man, cut your losses, keep the team together, even invest in 2-3 players and you will make your sale and Charlton, CARD, CAST et al will never again darken your doorstep, figuratively or in reality.
