  • Where abouts in the north stand is it going to be?

    There is an area at the top of the stand, that isn't used on match days, I think it may have been used as classrooms.
    This maybe the area they are going to use.
  • As a nod to our past surely it should be in a portacabin in the car park?

    Can't put it there, have you seen the size of the potholes?

    The old CARE offices, yes.

    If they are using this area, AFKA will have to stand on one side and you on the other.
  • Perhaps the club should ask the current players to donate a small portion of their wages to this venture? Tell Solly to shop in Primark instead of M&S for a week. ;-)

    Not sure how many people know but Colin Cameron's Charlton collection is being auctioned off on 5 November - see
    http://www.grahambuddauctions.co.uk/BidCat/SearchResults.asp?category=FCAM&keywords=&status=C&Submit+now.x=27&Submit+now.y=16

    Strikes me that this would be a nice thing for the Charlton museum to have given the amazing statistical work Colin Cameron did for the club over many years.

    We need a rich benefactor to step forward. Any volunteers?!
  • The Museum Trustees are aware and it would be wonderful to have Colin's collection but we don't have anything like that sort of money.

    But if there are any benefactors out there we'd love to hear from you.
  • The way money is collected on this site for good causes or shirt sponsoring, why not suggest a collection for some of Colin's stuff for the museum?

    There will be an auction today (if Virgin fix my internet) but I doubt we'll raise 15k by 5 November, unfortunately.

    We are speaking to CC's family though.

  • Henry - Out of interest, do you know whether the club holds a copy of every programme it has ever issued way back to 1923?

  • It would be a complete tragedy to lose this collection. Would RM bankroll a loan? It might give us time for example to get 600 of us to charge into the Valley to save Colin's collection, that would be £25.00 each. I'm up for it.
  • I hope Colins family make what they require some cracking items on there
  • Fortune, I think the Club has every programme since the wat but can't swear to that. That is one of the problems of never having a central point to store and record what we do and don't have. Hence the idea of the virtual museum

    Already had some great offer including the clothes pegs and numbers from the Valley 1985.

    If we can buy or someone can buy it for us then that would be wonderful but the stuff belongs to CC's family and like NLA I hope they get a good price for it.

  • Henry have you considered a "friend of the museum" scheme? Maybe with a few different tiers -

    £10 a year - get your name on the website and a "friends" book in the museum with a personal message
    £25 a year - as £10 but get a glossy book hardcopy of the website listings with photos
    £50 a year - as £25 but invite to an annual open evening with wine and special guests in the museum
    £40m - as £50 but get the football club thrown in for free

    I doubt the above (well apart from the last one :) ) would bring in too much money but if it meant an extra £1000-2000 income a year for the museum might be worth considering?
  • LFE, yes we are think about something like that (hadn't thought of that last one though)

    We're trying to work out the cost v the benefits so your ideas are great.
  • Great idea , well done guys for getting this off the ground , this is the sort of stuff they should be teaching in schools!
  • Great stuff Leaburn. Direct debit = 15 months membership as per National Trust?

    An excellent spot. I will hopefully be attending the auction at Sotherby's on the 5th and will report back on how CC's collection goes. May have a cheeky bid myself on some excellent Charlton items.
  • There is lots of excellent programmes in the auction which probably have never appeared on programme dealers lists before. The auction house have bundled most of them into big bundles and in my opinion will mean they end in the hands of dealers. But if you cannot afford them in their bundles keep your eyes peeled because hopefully they will appear somewhere for sale as individuals. Shirty would be very interested in any report on buyers if you are going. Always handy to know which dealers they went to.

    No problem I can do that, if it's the same old faces from Programme fairs 20/25 years ago. Found 2 other related Charlton items not from CC collection on auction as well.

    Lot 669. A rare United States Football Association official's ribbon for the Charlton Athletic v U.S.F.A. XI match played at the Polo Grounds, New York City, 27th June 1937,
    the red, white & blue ribbon inscribed in gilt
    £100-150

    Lot 634. Jonjo Shelvey: a signed red England No.7 U-17 international jersey season 2008-09,
    signed in black marker pen to the left of the three lions badge and inscribed BEST WISHES, long-sleeved; sold with a certificate of authenticity from Charlton Athletic FC confirming that the shirt is signed and match worn by Shelvey (2)
    £100-150
  • I have a signed Scott Parker shirt. How much you paying me to loan it?
  • Missed this one as well.

    Lot 708. The autographs of the Charlton Athletic team from the F.A. Cup winning 1946-47,
    in ink on a page from a lined exercise book, signatures comprising Robinson, Welch, Dawson, Duffy, Croker, Revell, Bartram, Oakes, Burlison, Shreeve, Robinson, Fell, Phipps, Turner & Johnson; sold together with a ticket stub for the England v Argentina 1966 World Cup quarter-final (2)

    not illustrated
    £100-150
  • I have a signed Scott Parker shirt. How much you paying me to loan it?

    Matchworn or replica?



  • Shirty, are there photos of those other items? Can't afford to buy them but at least we can have a record that they exist. So much stuff out there that no one but the owner knows about.
  • Some cracking proggys in those lots.

    Maybe someone wants to buy them all and then loan them to the museum? Maybe someone rich, charitable, honourable, etc - maybe an ex - or current - director who may happen to be reading this?

    2/3 of them have photos on that website
  • I can also go to the auction, anyway that we can join forces ?

    Led to believe it's match worn. From the man himself but it's long sleeved and I don't ever remember seeing him wear long sleeves.
