Minute's applause ahead of kick-off
The club will remember Pierre Bolangi, Ethan Ade-Oduwale and Jorge Costa with a minute's applause ahead of this weekend's clash.
Saturday marks the 25th anniversary since the tragic passing of Pierre Bolangi, a Charlton academy player who died at the age of 17 in 2000. The club have been working with Pierre’s family to celebrate him and help create a legacy through the work the family are doing through 3P3 The Legacy, a community interest company. 3P3 The Legacy will be in Valley Central from 10am on Saturday for supporters who want to find out more.
