During the end of August 2015 i had an idea of setting up a Charlton Athletic Facts and Stats account on Twitter. Ten years on and it’s still here which is amazing knowing what I’m like on not following through on projects. It goes to show what can be achieved when you have an idea, work out the process and stick at it through thick and thin.

A big thank you to everyone that has followed the account. Just shy of Nine Thousand followers now which i guess shows that people like it. In this decade i have learned that it’s not everyone’s bag, you will upset one or two along the way, however as long as you learn from it. Mistakes will happen especially on a Saturday night.

This was always be a Labour of Love. I have never made a single penny from this, in fact it costs me money to run it, but i love running it, and if one or two get something from it, then that’s fantastic,

The account would not be where it is without some guidance along the way. The best Charlton account on X/Twitter, Plenty of Shots, puts some colour on to my On This Day tweets. The excellent work done on Wikipedia by Steven Kennedy, and the books by the likes of Colin Cameron, Rick Everitt, Ian Wallis, Matt Eastley and John Farrell which are fantastic sources of information and are always on hand on the shelf

Also thanks to the Football club for coming to me for assistance in whatever questions they ask of me. Tom Rubashow allowing me to do the odd article for the Website. The Ex Players Association as well and thanks goes to Gavin Carter, Steve Brown and Sue Gallop. Finally Richard Cawley throughout his time at the South London Press and now his brand new Substack venture. Keep asking people and i shall always try to assist if time allows.

So the next ten years then. More of the same, the daily tweets. Improve the content on here and on Social Media, get more out there through other publications, and hopefully one day get around to writing that Charlton related book i have always been itching to do.

Be Lucky
