has anyone bought one yet? haven;t seen anything on twitter or the club promoting who the first customer was (like they did with the home kit in the summer)

One of the guys I sit with had purchased one ahead of last nights game
Firstly let me say I hate this mob who are in charge but I bought one for my Grandson last night. At £75 a bit of a rip off, but what's not now days.
I will do anything to get rid of this lot but this is a celebration of 25 years back at the valley, something that on the day of our return meant so much to me and my family.
I will not let this lot of clowns ruin my great memories of that time and if I can also make my Grandsons Christmas just a little bit better I will.
Always happy that people have their own opinions but please don't tell others what they should and shouldn't do

I used to get pjamers and a home knitted jumper from my Grandparents for Christmas.

Who has done that then?
All I've read is people saying they will or will not get it and their reasons behind it. Haven't read anything about people telling others what to do?
I like to imagine the dialogue at the meeting where they set the price for this item.
Kit Mauufacturer: 'So, Mr Cojones, we have the special shirt, the basic shirt £8 to manufacture and ship, then there is a cardboard box and certificates to print out, another two quid. What shall we put down as the recommended retail price Tone?'
It’s a nice shirt and I would consider buying one even at that price. I had the original twenty five years ago but I lost it when I thought it would come in handy to spice up my love life at the time. I was seeing a girl, pretty face, nice figure and a decent level of intelligence so could have a decent conversation but the spark in the loins department was not really happening. At the time I absolutely lived for Charlton, the club was my number one motivation in life so I thought that getting her to dress up in a Charlton shirt would be a sure fire libido booster. When it came to it it clicked that I was put off by the fact that she was hairier than Sasquatch down there and the sight of her short and curlies protruding from under the hemline of my treasured Back To The Valley shirt was a sure fire passion killer. I guess I should have taken the shirt home with me that night but because I was a bit overweight and not as handsome as I am today I wasn’t going to the end of the relationship because frankly I was desperate not to be alone. The shirt was never returned when the relationship ended, which has caused me much sadness ever since.

Would the club have to pay some recompense to the sponsors, or did they agree to not be on the shirt out of the goodness of their heart?
We didn’t have a sponsor at that time. We had Woolwich on the last Upton Park/ Admiral shirt, and Viglen came in the following season. Edit - unless you mean Betdaq or whatever, in which case I don’t give two shits.

So many retro tops are not exact to the original. When this is the case I do not understand why people buy the top.
This applies to the Fads top, also with this one. The collar is totally different to the '92 version. For this alone it's a waste of money let alone the outrageous price tag.
for 75 quid i hope its better quality than the 100 years anniversary kit
also why 75 quid? your paying about £35 for a box and a glorified receipt.
We know these things cost no more than £20 to bring to the point of sale box certificate VAT the lot So that's effectively paying £55 for a kick in the balls from the sneering Belgians

And on top of that, if you buy it online they'll also charge you £7 for delivery...!
Disappointed.
They just cannot stop taking the piss of us.
They have replicated the material used 25 years ago and there is hardly any stretch. Make sure you get the correct size.
Only 40 of each size have been made. 2XL has already sold out. If you intend to buy one don't wait too long.
If you visit the shop they suggest you try a shirt on to ensure you get the right size. The boxed shirts are behind the counter.
Not for me
