Sodje back for Seagulls clash


SAM Sodje will again be available to Phil Parkinson for next Tuesday’s match against Brighton & Hove Albion after serving a one-game suspension tonight.

The defender was sent off against Yeovil Town last Saturday.

Prior to this evening’s Bristol game, four Addicks – Izale McLeod, Jose Semedo, Miguel Llera and Kelly Youga - were one more booking away from a one-game ban.

IT’S the perfect Christmas present for Charlton fans – a half-season ticket covering the final 12 Valley games of the 2009/10 season.

Phil Parkinson’s men are pushing for promotion, and tickets to see every game of the second half of the campaign are available from £160 for adults – just £13.33 per game.

U18s pay £40 and U11s £30 (£3.33 or £2.50 per head).

Call 0871 226 1905 or apply in person at the Valley commercial centre.

AFTER equalising against Yeovil Town on Saturday, striker Akpo Sodje is doubtful for tonight’s match against Bristol Rovers due to a tight hamstring.

Frazer Richardson was due to see a specialist last week regarding his own hamstring complaint, while goalkeeper Rob Elliot continues to near a return from injury.

ELIGIBILITY was extended on Monday for tickets for Charlton’s trip to Brighton & Hove Albion next Tuesday (7.45pm).

Places are now available to all season-ticket holders, all Valley Gold members and fans who have purchased tickets to any two away games this term.

Around 200 tickets, priced £20 adults, £14 over 65s, £16 U21s and £13 U16s, remained at the start of the week, but were expected to sell quickly.

Purchase in person at the Valley commercial centre, or call 0871 226 1905.

YADO Mambo was sent off on his debut for Dover Athletic on Saturday just hours after joining the Whites on work experience.

The giant teenage defender was named in Dover’s starting XI against Dartford in the third qualifying round of the FA Trophy at the Crabble Stadium, but was dismissed after an hour after collecting his second yellow card.

Mambo’s suspension will not start for two weeks, so the starlet could feature against third-placed Thurrock on Saturday (3pm).

CHRISTMAS is synonymous with red and white, and Charlton are hosting a range of fantastic festive parties at The Valley throughout December.

From Elvis and Rolling Stones tribute nights to traditional Christmas dinners and Casino Royale evenings using the on-site facilities of the London Gaming College, there is something for everyone.

A DATE for Charlton’s home FA Youth Cup tie against Chelsea had still yet to be finalised at the start of the week after the Addicks U18s defeated Woking 3-1 last Wednesday thanks to Tamer Tuna’s hat-trick.

The match should be played before December 12.

Goals from Carl Jenkinson and Lewis Perkins gave Charlton a 2-1 win against West Ham United last weekend and the Addicks face Crystal Palace at Sparrows Lane on Saturday (11am).

TICKETS are currently on general sale for the home matches against Southend United on December 5 (3pm) and Swindon Town on Boxing Day (1pm).

Seats are priced £17, £22 and £25 adults, £17 over 60s and U21s, and £5 U18s.

However, only current season-ticket holders and Red Card holders with a purchase history of more than one Championship game from 2007-09, including lapsed season-ticket holders, can purchase seats for the Millwall home game on December 19 (3pm).

Seats are available via cafc.co.uk, from the Valley commercial centre or on 0871 226 1905.

A GOAL by Kristina Manktelow gave the Charlton women’s team a 1-0 win against Colchester United on Sunday and helped the Addicks move away from the foot of the Premier League Southern Division.
