Darren, I am in Gallipoli on tour at the moment so sorry for not responding earlier, of course we would love to accept it, we have a few cig cards but not of Jimmy Seed I think, together they could make a nice display, its only a loan so you or Jo or Dec could ask for them back at any time in the future,
I live closer to you than Ben so could perhaps meet close season if its easier, Clive
Good man I will hook up with you and hand them over I say then as I do have a couple of old cafc ones also I will also bring some pics that Henners was considering copying to display in there
A few more interesting tweets including a old history donated by one of the reminiscence group that still meet at the Valley and photos from the Academy trip to Ypres and the Western Front.
Also picked this up off Ebay for a fiver today (coin not included)
What about cigarette manufacturers footballers cards? Any been donated? There must be a few rooted around in people's attics.
We have a few but would be happy to have more.
Just seen this post, Henry.
We brought our framed cards to a Bromley Addicks' meeting early on in the Museum's " history" & offered it on loan.
Are you still interested ?
hang on to them for now but we might still want them. Once we've got the place tidied up we'll have a better idea of what we wan't/need to complete certain exhibits
This isn't just vanity about "look at the size of our following"
One of the criteria for heritage lottery funding is interest from others. So the more people who show they are bothered the more likely we are to get some much needed funding.
So follow if you don't already, ask others to do the same, plug it on places where other Addicks post.
Perhaps you should approach the supporters Trust @Henry Irving given that they have a following of 5,000 email subscribers and twitter followers. And this was built in just over 12 months. In the bigger picture we are all into the future and history of CAFC. @razil@all fans who care
True but you spent a lot of time and energy belittling the Trust in 2013 instead of recognising that the 1,000 members and 5,000 followers were your core audience. It's all a game of chess my friend and you have been played by Steve Bradshaw into opposing a mass fan movement - the third biggest fan group in the Championship after Leeds and Reading (who run away travel and are the supporters club) Wake up and smell the coffee for the opportunity of fan participation is a window which will surely shut. If the club have more than one candidate for fan representation then they can be like Cameron four hours after the Scottish vote and play for time! If you truly believe in supporters involvement then it is up to you to demonstrate support for that vision. No pressure

You're not on the Trust board anymore, you don't speak for them and the remaining Trust board members either laugh at you or see you as an embarrassment.
You are ducking the question Henry. Working full on with the Trust will double and then treble the museum numbers. Deflection, personal vilification whatever but why why are you opposed to a fan movement with 5,000 followers that I helped to build? Why do you operate in isolation rather than working with one of the biggest fan movements in the Championship? Is it ego and personality or what? We are just pawns in this game but I would suggest that fans would like a unified voice when the chips are down... Perhaps you are a life of Brian fan? I always preferred the Holy Grail and Jabberwokky as I like a quest!

No wonder the campaign was brilliant, BMP was arguably the most creative agency in London at that time, fascinating stuff.
I have a jimmy seed cig card but he ain't playing for us
Interested it's well old I don't mind donating I think I have a few really old ones with addicks on
More than willing to donate they are to be handed down to joe and dec when I die but they can stay there years if you want
I live closer to you than Ben so could perhaps meet close season if its easier,

If the chathmuseum wants newspaper cuttings from 1970 onwards, please pick them up by tomorrow night. Sorry to be a pain.
Thank you.
Also lots of more recent internationals such as Kish, Johnny Robinson, Mark Fish and some bloke called Powell.
Some pics at @chathmuseum.
Apologies to anyone I haven't replied to on this thread. Missed them somehow. Still keen to hear from anyone with items to donate.

A tease view of the new arrival at the Valley this afternoon, planned to be unveiled this November....#ww1centenary
Nothing like a bit of Portland Stone.
It was fecking heavy for sure.
Quality though.
