Why is it we are never leaked, is our board that slow and guarded about our kits? Man Ure and Arsehole's kits are usually leaked in January/Feb and confirmed by April/May....
This Goes the same for Orient and even Cardiff... I mean come on!

Not sure why "leaking" is a good thing.
Anyway, maybe the shirt has been leaked but only to people who can be trusted not to post the picture on Charlton Life, ain't that right Steve? : -)
My mortgage statements from Barclays are headed Woolwich......confusion reigns
Woolwich is the brand of the mortgage. Barclays are the lender. a woolwich mortgage is now merely the name of a product.
So Natwest doesn't exist, just a brand that rbs use.
couldn't tell you mate. I only know about Woolwich/Barclays as I work for Barclays, and used to specifically deal with woolwich mortgages.
At the risk of dragging this on for too long is anyone suggesting that the fact that some people have had the employer name on their payslips change from Woolwich to Barclays constitutes any evidence that sponsoring Charlton is bad for a company's health?
If anything one could suggest that the advertising Woolwich got by sponsoring a top flight football club for four seasons helped make their brand worth saving when Barclays bought them.
I'd certainly rather have bought shares in Woolwich in 1989 than in Llanera in 2006!

But there is no company only on paper! The company only exists on letterheads as the mortgage brand of Barclays, everything else ie the HO at bexleyheath, 350 of the 400 offices and probably 80 percent of the staff have gone. So the majority of the Woolwich people had their payslips switched not to Barclays but to the equivalent of the p45! In our area there were 17 Woolwich branch managers before amalgamation, one month after there were three! With their branches being closed.
Just because the name still remains as a header on a mortgage statement doesn't mean the company and employees are still around.
Barclays bought Woolwich for their mortgage book, their investment/ savings business (including the independent advice service and Unit Trust Managers), because they could save money by consolidating the two businesses, and benefit from the good reputation of the Woolwich in the South. This reputation may have been enhanced by sponsoring Charlton but ultimately I don't think the company, the staff or the customers benefited by takeover, apart from the money received from shares.

I'm certainly not. I think its just an unfortunate co-inkydink that a couple have not done so well after or whilst sponsoring us. I don't believe sponsoring charlton had any impact on the Barclays/Woolwich situation.
Lol not even a whole leaked image even their teasers were entertaining... Kind of. I still remember the horror of the carbrini ''we'll be relegated in this shirt" episode... Turned out we were!

I just assumed we'd all see it. Are there, really, any CL members that haven't seen it?
