I’ve been covering Charlton Athletic for a loooooong time - and I don’t want that to stop.

South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition gives me the opportunity to continue covering the club. You can also help shape the coverage - I want to write the stories that cover the players or subjects that matter to you.

I’m also planning to get hold of some of the SE7 legends for longer reads.

I can’t promise I’ll be first with every transfer or big story to come out of SE7, but I’m pretty confident that I’ll be able to get plenty of interesting titbits first and also provide extra insight.

This platform is only set to aide me in remaining independent.

On top of that there will be analysis/reaction once Charlton Athletic start playing again in the Championship. The Championship…..how good does it sound to say that?

With 18 years under my belt covering south London football (I’ve got the scars to show it), it means I have plenty of contacts to tap into - stuff that isn’t already in the public domain.

I’m excited at the potential of the content I can provide and hopefully you are too. I’m sure as I get further down the track there will be extra layers that I add - like pods or an audio aspect. I might even do videos but I’ve always taken the stance that my ugly mug is best for the spoken or written word.

I’ll also look to start doing a weekly Q&A - or just simply hooking up - on my chat section on the site (this might even be set up now - hopefully I remember to amend it a little further down the line). We can discuss the latest 5-0 win (optimistic), a new signing or any other talking point.

This is a bit like diving off the 10-metre high board, a little bit scary but also exhilarating. I’m hoping as I go along there will be less belly flops.

So how does it all work?

FREE SUBSCRIBERS

Occasionally you’ll get a piece written by me. You’ll also get a taster of any article that I post.

But you won’t be able to fully read the articles, some of which I’m hoping will have some decent content running all the way through them.

It’s absolutely cool for anyone to roll along this way as I hopefully build things up.

PAID SUBSCRIBERS £5 A MONTH/£50 A YEAR

I’m planning on providing at least a couple of features/interviews/analysis pieces each week and I intend to build it up to a hefty amount more than that - it will be easier once we get into pre-season training/friendlies and then the matches. Plus there are going to be transfers and drama. The one thing I don’t want to do is oversell and then under-deliver. I also want to be truthful. This Substack in the longer term will be supported by you. You’ll get entire access to the full archives.

It’s only by having your backing that I can carry on providing Charlton Athletic coverage - both on this platform but also social media. I appreciate the support more than I can ever truly say! You will not only get my latest posts delivered directly to you, but you’ll also get access to the archive too.
