Charlton Athletic s Proud Valiants hosted a Football vs Homophobia event last week. An online Charlton Athletic event on Saturday celebrating Football vs Homophobia was zoom-bombed by racist and homophobic individuals. A small number infiltrated the event s Zoom and used abusive and offensive hate crime language and graffiti in an attempt to ruin the event. In a joint statement, Charlton Athletic have condemned the abuse, and the organisers are now corresponding with a Police Hate Crime Unit. The event was hosted by the Proud Valiants, the club s LGBTQI+ supporters group, who led a programme of events to celebrate the launch of the national Football vs Homophobia Month of Action.

Addicks owner agrees terms for takeover of Charlton Athletic Women
Stephen King and Thomas Sandgaard have agreed terms for the takeover of Charlton Athletic Women’s Team, subject to FA approval.
The women’s team has been a separate organisation from the men’s team for more than a decade and the takeover would bring the two clubs under the same ownership for the first time since 2007.
Sandgaard, who purchased Charlton in September 2020, said: “I am looking forward to being able to complete the takeover of Charlton Athletic Women. I have loved my first few months in charge of the club and people will have probably seen that I’ve been bitten by the Charlton bug.
Paul Wood was a lifelong Charlton Atheltic fan, and tributed from friends, family and the Addicks have poured in. Tributes have poured in for a life-long Charlton Athletic fan and managing director who passed away late last week. Paul Wood, who has followed Charlton home and away for over 50 years, has sadly died following a short illness at the age of 58. The 58-year-old owned a season ticket in the North Lower with his son Ross, and members of the club have claimed the Valley will never be the same in his absence. Paul was also the long-serving managing director at Andrews Sykes, a heating and air-conditioning hire company who have sponsored and partnered with the Addicks for several years.
