Over the last six years it is clearly the women's team that has achieved the most glory and success, enhancing Charlton Athletic's reputation as a club that looks to the future and is open to changing attitudes within the football world.

Murphy and Charlton missed out in the FA Cup final to Arsenal
This has come to an abrupt end. The men's team got relegated and now the only people to suffer are the girls.
The men underperform but still keep their massive pay cheques, the women's side has all its financial support stopped.
The Charlton board continue to sit in their lovely Laura Ashley offices and drive in their fast cars - the little girls who dreamt of playing for Charlton and England are told the girls' section of the club is no longer going to exist.
How fair is that from this family-orientated club?
I am a first team player, I trained every week, five times a week. I
have a full-time job on top of that and had to travel an-hour-and-a-half
every time to get to training.
I gave up my weekends to travel the country to represent Charlton Athletic because I was proud to do it.
Girls would travel up to four hours to train for two hours twice a week
because we wanted to be the best.
That to me is commitment. Not just taking the money, coming to train for a couple of hours and then show no heart when you eventually play your 90 minutes for £20,000 a week.
When Charlton Athletic took over and introduced a women's section in the
club a lot of people were excited. Success breads interest and we were good.
The thing that they seem to overlook is that we still are but because we do not make them enough money we are more of a burden.
I am writing because I am hurt, and I feel I have been mistreated. After four years of total commitment I get a voicemail from the manager saying the girls'
section is no more.
Is that all I am worth? The Charlton board did not even have the decency to call a meeting, to face the players and look them in the eye and explain their reasons for this decision.
That to me is disrespectful and totally unacceptable. A large part of my life
was devoted to this club and in return I have been treated like this.
One-and-a-half months ago I was playing in an FA Cup final in front of
25,000 people for Charlton Athletic. Promoting their club, wearing my
heart on my sleeve for that club.
How things change. I will move on, I have my own life, a real job as a firefighter that I work at and I will probably eventually play for another club.
I feel sorry for those girls who are 10-14 years old playing at the centre of excellence, teenagers attending the girls academy, and reserve team players who had ambitions to break into the first team.
What happens to them? Where do they go from here?
All I know is that within one minute of a voicemail message from my manager my thoughts and beliefs of Charlton Athletic as the family team had changed.
They are just like the rest of these multi-million businesses. People's feelings, hearts and morals do not come into it - it is all about money.
Maybe if the men's team played for the reasons we played for then we all
would not be in this situation.
Maybe if the Charlton executives had more faith in people rather than money Charlton Athletic could have been the club it pretends to be.In need of clarification on co-existing tenancy agreements.
Okay the problem to me seems quite straight forward but I can't seem to get anyone (legal or otherwise) to clarify what my rights or next course of action should be...
Me and my girlfriend rent a house (we're both students) and have a joint tenancy for the property which is a 3 bedroom house, the background of the situation is that we paid the deposit back in the summer and then went home and agreed to pay half price rent during the summer months as a sort of property retainer to the agent and then we would start paying full price once university started again in September...
Almost a week after the agreement was signed the tenant called my girlfriend and asked if they could rent out the other two rooms to students or if we would find people to move into those rooms (with the understanding that the rent would be reduced accordingly if we did), my girlfriend said they would need to speak to me and I told her that she should call them back and refuse as I wasn't comfortable living with strangers and if I wanted to live in that manner I would have rented in halls.
We returned for University at separate times, her before me, and when she returned I received a text from her saying that there was someone in the house and indeed a few weeks later when I came to move in they had actually rented out a room to another girl.
Now each of the bedrooms does have a separate lock, implying that the house could be rented out on a room by room basis but our tenancy and the new girls tenancy both infact state that we (me and my partner) take possesion of all of the building there are no exlusions or specifics as to it being a room by room basis and the other girls tenancy is worded exactly the same the only difference is the amount in which we pay... where we pay what would amount to be double in what the other girl pays...
I've been to Citizens advice twice and they have told me that A. the estate agent can indeed do this and that it's common practice and B. the estate cannot do this and I should write to them on the matter.
It's now coming up to Christmas, me and my girlfriend split up early September and after repeated Telephone calls and even going into the office there has still been no change, no effort to even sit down and discuss my issues. I've written two letters to the landlord which have to be addressed to the estate agent anyway so I have no way of knowing if the Landlord is actually receiving my letters.
To cloudy the waters I have lost my job and cannot pay the rent until I find employment (or my student grant comes through) and the estate agent have started chasing the late payment.
2. Why do I have to ask for their permission to leave the agreement when they haven't honoured the agreement in which I originally paid for?
4. How do I get out of the situation?
5. What would be the best course of action from here?
Learn and gain an RYA PWP certificate and license showing that you have all the basic skills to own jet ski. You must have a license and the RYA PW Proficiency covers this and also will enable you to gain the International Cert of Competence.
Course includes use of a Jet Ski which is based in Port Forum. Fuel, certificate and handbooks are all included.
Low numbers to ensure you get plenty of time on the helm.
Your licence will be registered with the RYA so there is always a record, there is no revalidation required.
Can I hire a jet ski using the licence?
Yes, but in Europe you are best getting the International Certificate of Competence (ICC), this is just a paperwork exercise with your proficiency licence and an additional £52 fee.

Ok, so check this out. WiFi at work is getting really slow today so I decided I would tether to my Droid and watch what I was watching...I've done it with Air Video and Netflix. I log in to Hulu it starts loading then dumps back to the title screen!!! Somehow Hulu is blocking me from viewing content over my droid as a Wifi hotspot! How??? I mean I understand that on PS3 it doesn't work because of the browser but how do they determine where the data is coming from??
Seems really messed up tho since I'm paying for the service...it's none of their damn business where the data comes from. Or is Verizon somehow blocking that sight from loading content?
oh and it seems if you close the screen or leave the app and resume the video you have to sit thru another ad.....the free version doesn't even do that!!

So basically you have to pay for the service and you get 4x more commercials....great.
It very easy for them to block the droid. just check what network your IP is for, if its not att they can just block it.
I think im going to cancel....so far it is seriously not worth it. I was struggling to watch quantum leap....I checked Netflix and its on there! Commercial free and it works with my droid.

Paying monthly you shouldn't have any ads to begin with....but all the damn time is really annoying.
Why do they play commercials if they are charging you? They are not like a cable provider so what is their premise for this?
And they play a LOT of commercials.Trưởng Lão Ni Kệ l quyển thứ chín của Tiểu Bộ Kinh, gồm 73 thơ tích truyện - tất cả có 522 b i thơ - về tích truyện của các vị tỳ kheo thời Đức Phật kể lại sự cố gắng để thực hiện th nh tựu quả A La Hán.
