There was an interesting profile of Gemma Arterton in The Times yesterday. She has just started a new drama series with ITV which has got good initial reviews.
However, it missed the most important fact about her: she is a Charlton supporter. Her father is a keen Addick and took her to The Valley when she was young. She was born in Gravesend.
On YouTube you can see her being presented with a Charlton shirt on television. I doubt whether she gets to The Valley these days though. She has two children, but it is not known whether they are Addicks.
Can anyone explain the brief reference to Charlton by 'comedian' Paul Merton on Have I Got News For You? on Friday. I watched it again last night and still couldn't understand the context, although it was evidently some kind of insult.
Merton is the son of a tube driver and is a keen Spurs fan. He may be laughing on the other side of his face at The Valley next season. I still remember our 1-0 victory at the old White Hart Lane with Spurs fan Chris Powell scoring the winning goal.
Are you heading for the Italian lakes this summer, Then take a look at the successful strategy of the Como side: https://footballeconomyv2.blogspot.com/2026/04/comos-unique-strategy-offers-new.html
Charlton is not in a fashionable part of London so we can't replicate their strategy, but could we make more of the River Thames which is known globally?
