Relegated and Watch it all over again!


Imagine the scenario; your team is rooted solely to the bottom of the Championship with hells chance of escaping relegation. Would you part with a substantial amount of money for a DVD that highlighted that very season?

I’m probably thinking you wouldn’t.
Charlton Athletic are asking fans whether they would like a deluxe extended DVD packed of highlights of their worst season in many years.

I’m sure not many diehards will be screaming for a copy as they should be trying to put this season firmly behind them. Relegation DVD’s are not, surprisingly, the best sellers.

They didn’t release one last season, the first time since 1987, and many fans were left disappointed but Charlton had realistic hopes of playoffs and playing some good football. This season is quite the opposite.

The six wins this term may have to be the constant highlight through the DVD or the sacking of Alan Pardew that made many fans pleased. Perhaps the supposed buyout for this foreign consortium that never was. The first win under Phil Parkinson – it took a while.

It has been a poor season for the Addicks and their loyal fans, and they won’t be flooding to the clubs shop for a copy.

It’s a shame that a good club like Charlton has fallen like this, many good players have come and gone and they probably have to hope for a really good youth set up to sustain themselves.

No doubt in League One they would have a much more exciting DVD release at the end of next season.

I would doubt that last statement.

Any news on if Southampton have a DVD out this year?
