Charlton’s new owner Thomas Sandgaard has put one of the now-infamous club Range Rovers up for grabs as part of a campaign to highlight the importance for change in regulations around owning a football club.
The competition, open to anyone in England, Wales and Scotland, will see one individual drive off with a top-of-the-range vehicle, which cost more than £90,000.

The Range Rovers became symbolic with the club’s ownership struggles in 2020, during which various individuals claimed ownership of the club.
Sandgaard purchased the Addicks in September, with Charlton days away from potential administration, and has given the club much-needed stability. Since his arrival, Charlton have signed 10 new players and have won their last six league games.
To be in with a chance of winning the Range Rover, supporters who purchase a live streaming video pass on Valley Pass for one of the club’s games between today and 11.59pm on December 20th will have an entry into a prize draw. The winner will then be announced live on the club’s video streaming platform Valley Pass at half-time of Charlton’s Boxing Day game against Plymouth Argyle.
The Our Club, Your Car campaign was launched with club supporters on Wednesday lunchtime, at The Valley.
Sandgaard explained: “These cars have been like a dark cloud hanging over Charlton. When I bought the club, I couldn’t believe how much had been committed to spend on Range Rovers. It was more than £700,000! For a club at our current level, that is a lot of money and using that money elsewhere, on the squad for example, can make a real difference.
“One of the first things we have had to do is get the cars repossessed from individuals who have previously been involved at the club and sold most of them to minimise the losses this unnecessary expense has cost the club. It has been a difficult year for the fans, so we wanted to give one person an extra-special gift this holiday and that is why we are giving this one away as part of this competition.
“Hopefully, in doing so, we can highlight the challenges clubs have with ownership and be a part of change. Too many clubs have had ownership issues in recent years, I am pleased the EFL have made important changes on this and it is something I will continue to speak with them about. I want to help to continue to improve the change of ownership process.”
