A ray of realism from Ramsgate

Fanzine editor and Ramsgate-based fan Rick Everitt seems to have overcome his fear that Charlton would repeat their unanticipated collapse in 1972: https://www.votvonline.com/home/the-2025-26-blogs/8-4-ghosts-of-1972-can-t-frighten-jones-s-battling-side/

The Rickster admits that it's been a hard watch at time, but says that no one has really let us down, even scapegoat player Tyreece Campbell.   He points out that the Championship is a very different place from when we left it, i.e., much tougher.

The veteran fan has maintained a dignified silence in the face of attacks from Super Hoops top fan Lord Young of Acton, albeit that the noble lord was briefly distracted by having to explain away his presence in the Epstein files.

Realism doesn't go down well with some Charlton fans so it is interesting to see this favourable comparison between the Addicks and Birmingham City by a neutral commentator: https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/incredible-charlton-athletic-claim-emerges-as-birmingham-city-comparison-made/
