Is it safe to come out yet?

Cough, cough. That's the sound of me brushing the cobwebs away and resurfacing from a three month absence. Kelvin and I had a call to arms today and realised that it was time to get blogging again and get some chat going ahead of what is going to be an interesting season and unknown territory for many fans.

As per last season, this one ended on a high with a good victory over an admittedly very poor Norwich side (anybody who Deon Burton scores a hat trick against falls into the category) who we will be meeting again next season. Whilst it might have put a slight spring into the step ahead of the summer break, it couldn't disguise a complete sham of a season.

The Championship was hard to get out of (at the right end) and I think League One will be even tougher to be honest. There is the opportunity for a fresh start however and the chance to visit some new grounds.

No summer tournament means that the majority of the football press will be focusing on the movers and the shakers. In that respect, there are a lot of unanswered questions at Charlton. Is Parkinson staying? Is Shelvey staying? Who do we actually want to get rid of? How many people will be renewing their season tickets?

So no football for a while but plenty to chat about. Most Charlton fans will be sick of the game right now, but somehow you just know you'll be feeling differently come August ...
