NO fewer than five Addicks are one booking away from a one-game ban prior to tonight’s match against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Izale McLeod, Jose Semedo, Miguel Llera, Christian Dailly and Kelly Youga will all be walking the proverbial tightrope when Charlton take on the Seagulls in a league match for the first time since the 1991/92 season. Sam Sodje is available for the match at the Withdean Stadium after serving a one-match suspension following his red card against Yeovil Town.

A COMMUNITY project that supports playing opportunities for youngsters with Down’s syndrome last week won almost £40,000 as part of the People’s Millions scheme.

The Charlton Upbeats featured on ITV’s London Tonight show last Thursday, when members of the public were invited to vote for the most deserving project.

STRIKER David Mooney last week extended his loan spell at Charlton from Reading for a second month, and will remain in SE7 until December 28, although parent club Reading now have a 24-hour recall clause.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Carl Ikeme returned to Wolverhampton Wanderers after his emergency loan with the Addicks expired last week, with the fit-again Rob Elliot due to play against Brighton & Hove Albion tonight.

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.

DEPUTY chief executive Nigel Capelin will leave Charlton this month after 12 years with the club, the Addicks announced last week.

Plc chairman Richard Murray said: “Nigel has been a great servant to Charlton and has played an integral role in the development of the football club over the last decade.”

ALEX Stavrinou made his debut on loan for Ebbsfleet United in the Blue Square Premier on Saturday as the Kent side beat Mansfield Town 2-1.

Dean Sinclair, who played his first match since a long-term knee injury last Thursday in a behind-closed-doors 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient, also went out on a month’s loan the same day, re-joining former club Barnet.

However, he was an unused substitute over the weekend.

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