Charlton Lifers charity match at the Valley- 22nd May -UPDATE 15/3

BadgerBadger
edited January 2007 in General Charlton
The pitch can be hired during the pre-season for corporate events with facilitys including a guided tour and food/drinks bar if required. So why not enquire. A charity match against a vets team would be a good idea, tickets sold at a reasonable price and additional interest could make for a good turn out, the proceeds could go back to the local community or/and a charity proposed from within the club, if the game was played on a saturday at 3pm this would encourage people to come along hence no floodlight expenditure & Ketman can dj, Might be an idea to ask if Cris Holland's band can do an acoustic set after the game in a millenium suite, add a raffle and hey presto, might even be able to get my brothers combo London School Of Samba to play for free at half time.

Think of the income the ground could recognise at a time when it's not being used.

    i know what standard of football some lifers played, but having trained with 1 of the vets side a few years ago we would get a serious hammering (imo). its not only the fitness but the first touch and ability to be 2/3 passes ahead of you would embarrass us. well me anyway.

    agreed, we would be ruined !
  • StanmoreAddickStanmoreAddick
    Can i suggest that AFKA and Henry have a conversation regarding this, if they haven't already-

    Henry has already said "make it happen"

    For what it's worth, i feel we should involve as many "Lifers" as possible so that we can raise as much money as possible for the chosen charity.
  • ShagShag
    I'd be up for it
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    i think we definately could raise two teams with just peeps off here.

    need a volunteer to take on the organising, i'm not going to be able to to be honest.
  • BlackForestRedsBlackForestReds
    I'd be interested, depending on dates and work commitments etc.

    I think the ideal candidate to organise it would be someone who lives close to the Valley , knows a lot of people at the club , and is female .

    Let me know if you need a contact into the Vets, Walshie live's at the top of my road. BTW I hired out Welling Utd last year, it was only £300, and we used the bar after and all that. AFKA, give me a call if you want to chat offline about this. Great Idea, and I don't mind leading the co ordination.
  • ElthamaddickElthamaddick
    definately interested in playing and would help out where I can with the organising - however not sure how much time I could devote to it at the moment
  • CharltonparklaneCharltonparklane
    I would be up for playing/helping out if needed.
    I think we should find out who still plays etc and go from there.

    Great idea.

    Im up for playing, I only play 5-a-side now up Goals in BH.
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    haven't really played for over two years, but i'd inject my knee to play at the valley !
  • kigeliakigelia
    i'd be up for it. Haven't played for a while apart from the odd 5 a side where I used to work, and kick abouts in the park with my son. It will give me an excuse to dip into my bonus money from work.

    I've hired the home of football twice now and the cost was around 2.5K. £80 each between 30 of us. Perhaps a sponsor would be good.
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    i'm pretty sure in this instance the club would do us a good discount, particularly as it would be for charity.

    As I said on the other thread we can do it thru football aid. 2 CL teams seems ideal. If we have 15 or so aside the unfit can play 5/10 mins and then be subbed.
  • SolidgoneSolidgone
    Badger - I hope your not considering to bring your hobnail boots out of the cupboard? Great idea though but alas I am unable to kick a ball unless I wish to give up walking for the two months.

    Would like to help with the organisation side of things but doubt whether I can fully commit other than attending the actual day in support. Is this a closed season bash?
  • MCSMCS
    I would be up for this. I have great legs ! lol

    Football aid usually command about £300 per position to play there (i paid £375) but if an extra event is organised then it might be better to do it off our own backs with the proceeds going to Demelza or the like?

    Why does it have to be for charity?

    [cite]Posted By: ns_eb_rj_s?[/cite]Why does it have to be for charity?

    Because CAFC are more likely to give the pitch to us for nothing and the former players are more willing to be involved.

    But it doesn't have to be for Charity.

    I was thinking " The Championship" Promotion Campaign, they need all the help they can get!

    Count me in, do you think Paddy would mind the tracks a zimmer frame and a knee brace would leave on the turf? :-)

    We can force John Robinson to commit to playing at the next City Addicks.

    I'm up for it, and we'll definitely need rolling subs. Played a charity game at the valley a few years ago and it's shocking how much bigger the pitch is than what most of us are used to playing on on a sunday morning.
