Charlton fanzine editor Rick Everitt has posted a picture of himself with incoming prime minister Andy Burnham at Gravesend town pier {?] The Rickster had already been invited to No.10 by Keir Starmer.
Everitt told Burnham that he hoped to see Burnham at The Valley before long supporting Everton. He also reminded him of the needs of Thanet where he is Labour leader of the council. Not all areas of deprivation are 'oop North.
I don't want to rain on Everitt's parade, but the Spectator magazine looks as if it is getting ready to renew its campaign against the 'Charltification' of football.
It will be recalled that Spectator columnist Lord Young of Action fulminated against Everitt last season and the QPR blogger invited the fanzine editor for a confrontation on Margate beach last October.
The idea of two folically challenged gents in their early 60s engaging in handbags at six paces was as bizarre a stunt as one would now find in Clacton and the noble lord returned to London in high dudgeon.
After Millwall supporter Rod Liddle's attack on Charlton, Lord Young (the son of Lord Young of Dartington) has been sounding off about football again in this week's issue, but I am still trying to make sense of what he is saying, although much of it is about QPR.
There are rumours that Young is planning to make a return trip to Margate, this time accompanied by QPR supporting minor celebrities Louis Theroux and Giles Coren.
