I know things are tight but it’s starting to get a bit extreme to me.
Firstly I've heard (though this may be a Chinese whisper for the reason) to save money the club have sold all there gym equipment at the training ground and now have a corporate membership at David Lloyd in Dartford.
Secondly I've just spoke to the club shop and they, for the foreseeable future, have stop producing season review DVD’s as they can't afford to and the minimum they can order is 5000 and they won't sell them. Well surely they can place a smaller order and if not there must be at least 5000 Addicks out there who would want a record of last season just for posterity. There were some memorable moments from last season the double over the scum, Saints away in the last minute for example.

Would suspect the selling gym stuff is not true.
We are where we are but don't need reminding of the fact!!
I'll have some of what you're on too please mad...
At the moment, most of our games are convered by only one TV camera up in the roof of the east stand - there simply isn't the quality of footage/angles etc. available to make a product people would be willing to pay for.[/quote]
That didn't stop us in the past..
Thing is though, people were prepared to pay for a rubbish product in the past. Having paid to watch it live (and then suffered it) few people would be prepared to pay to watch it again when the qualities poor as well.
I believe there are specialist websites out there for people with those sort of 'tendancies'...
The club have used the David Lloyd place for years.
There was a lot of gym equipment moved out of the Valley as well but that was the Greenwich Council Gym that has moved to the new site on the old Greenwich Hospital development.
No idea if the gym equipment from the training ground has been sold but it's a small gym and you wouldn't get a squad of 20 guys in there at the same time from what I remember.
No mate, not the grey & green variety LOL
LOL, as if.
On the DVD I can see the logic but I'm surprised at the 5000 minimum. I wonder if that is as much about the quality of the footage, editing, voice over, packaging etc and not wanting to sell what they see as a poor quality effort for which they will then be mercilessly slagged off by our fans
Would we sell 5000. That is a hell of a lot with a 15000 ST base given that many of those ST live in the same households and nowhere near all would by.
If anyone has a bootleg DVD of last season I'd be happy to buy one (sorry Mike R but there you go.)
true if your name is Darren Ward.

Also heard this, all have to chip in for the half time oranges now, they take it in turns to pre cut them aswel
There's a gym at Sparrows Lane and I kind of doubt they've sold the gear, looney rumour.
What is the problem with the season end DVD. On the grounds that we're in our third horrible season it's a good bet that nobody will want to buy one, so not producing a minimum run of 5000 seems sensible. If they produced the vids and sold about 7 we'd be slating them for spunking money.
If you want to remember this season in years to come I suggest you just hurl a lump of medium consistency shite at square of card and watch it slowly ooze down before falling off. It's abstract, but it'll capture the true wonder of 08/09 and save you 12.99.
Thank me later.
Greenwich Council closed the gym at The Valley to fund a council tax freeze last year, without plans to replace it. (The Greenwich District Hospital site will, by the time it opens in 2054, replace The Arches.)
CHIPS IN A WOK!?!?!?!?!?
If this is true, it's mental. He's one of our best midfielders. Surely we'd be better off getting a proper cook.
would you want one of this season !
Cue somebody to throw a David Whyte and refuse to pay for the post match fish and chips!
