There were three left in the box behind me. Had to beg the woman cleaning it up for just one of them. Sorry but that one has already been bagseed by someone but on CAFC twitter then said the club shop will be selling programmes from Wednesday

So have they found an unopened box of them somewhere ? Because we missed out, too, and I would like to have one.
I think yesterday most of us would have happily paid a tenner for a programme marking the end to a record-breaking season - and perhaps the estimable Airman and his colleagues made a very rare mistake in under-estimating the extent to which we all would have been happy to have been ripped-off on such a prestigious occasion!
But it is to the club's credit that their main concern yesterday was not to empty our wallets just because the circumstances contrived to make us ''easy pickings', ' but to enable us all to share in a mutual sense of success and well-being.
I really cannot shower enough praise on everyone involved off-the-pitch this season. What happened on-the-pitch would not have happened without their back-up.
Thank you to everyone who transformed our footballing experience over the last season. For several years it became a ruddy chore to turn up at the Valley and watch a team that had lost its spirit and its passion. I confess it got to the point where I used to look for excuses not to go. This year it became a pleasure again. And a huge one.

I bought one at 1pm and left it under my seat in all the celebrations. Royally p1ssed about that. Pathetic retailing still exists at the Valley. Run out of programmes when everyone obviously will want one. I then (at 1.30pm) queued for 25 mins to by a flag for my 11 yr old. if they had any sense they would've had a dozen or so people outside flogging flags, Clearly they've printed far too many we are going up t shirts; there were piled up in the shop and the moment's now gone. One slow kid on the shirt print counter served me. and thhey were printing shirts that I thought didn't happen on matchdays which meant the other till wasn't serving. I hope someone at the club reads this - if they want I can sort out the retail,

I think the "backroom" staff at Charlton have done a great job this season. It must be very difficult to gauge how many programmes to have printed before the event. It's all very well saying after the event that they should have known what the demand would be.
Having said that, there seemed to be loads of stock in the superstore which wasn't reduced and I couldn't see selling before closing time...
I think the club were hoping that the 'We're going up' t-shirts would sell as there was little else.
Legends was manic. One of the ladies in there said they had to get in a load more staff as they sold much more than normal. I suspect it was the same everywhere.
I think that, after the massive cuts that needed to be made to the backroom staff following relegations, the club are justified in being a little cautious with costs on days like yesterday.
As it is likely to be weeks before the new shirts come in some of the t-shirts will probably sell, and the mark up is probably fantastic.
Don't buy any programmes on eBay and teach the greedy b******s, I hope there left with a huge pile of them
Have seen five currently on e-bay ranging from £6 to £27, all with 4 days to go. The most expensive one has a seperate printed team sheet with it. One is being sold by 'millwallmick'!
Right, finally sorted out as we had a couple of spare's it turns out. My Dad bought a couple extra on the way to the ground as he was told you wouldn't get any in the centre circle suite. Obviously he did so whoever wants the spare's (2x program's) inbox me and first come first served, no cost. Will post them off.

Ha, ha. That means 'millwallmick' on e-bay, whose best offer stands at £6 won't be cashing in. The other four on there though are at £16, £21 (2 of them) and £27.00.

Thank you to everyone.
Exactly my sentiments.
I remember the panic and disappointment when the programmes up at Bloomfield road sold out.
