I woudl love to get prints of those posters. I have a look for them on ebay from time to time.

Any prospect of them ever being reprinted? Perhaps to help fundraise for the museum?

The artwork has been lost. But I guess nowadays you can scan a set of the posters (mini-proofs, we called them in those days) and get a decent quality reproduction. I believe the museum curator has a set...:-)

I would also want to purchase a reproduction. That ad campaign was sheer brilliance.

perhaps there are others also so you might end up making a little something for the museum fund.

We've got the original A3-ish sized ones somewhere, and I've got the framed, smaller reprints. Not easy to do, but if they're of any use, I'm willing to help get them reprinted.

someone offered me loads of these at the bttv20 event, a lady who's late father had them in the loft i believed, but I haven't heard from her since then

Trustee, not curator.

Already plans afoot to get them copied and reproduced. Will let you know as and when.

I have one of the smaller reprints. I also have 2 of the hats. Didn't realise I was rich...!

Thanks...top notch.

could ask the club to put this in the programme and see if we can find the lad?

tangoflash

Still got my prints of those campaign posters all curled up in a tube in my parents loft. Keep meaning to dig them out and get them framed...........

I often think about him, and why he, or rather his parents, never came forward. It would be fantastic to think - and show - that he is now a season ticket holder who brings his own son to the Valley. My best guess is that he was one of the few casual fans we picked up at Selhurst - it was a big game that night. But he was dressed in all the gear - so it is also possible that he's just part of a modest family that doesn't want any fuss, but is just glad their football club is still alive.

looks like he had a Junior Reds scarf on the ED looks visible

He went in dressed in hat and scarf but left in a palarse burka that's why we can't find him

(Removed pic of my boy in scarf/hat) Poor lad indeed condemned to life as an Addick

I'm reporting you to the NSPCC Razil. Poor lad.

That we never found the boy, is my only small regret from this whole wonderful few months. We had no money for the creative ideas (we already had the best agency in the country working on the ideas for free). So we had to use stock photography, but inevitably such photographs depicted the past. We needed an image about the future. The VP had a pro photographer, Andy Solomon, in the team. (he was the guy whom Simon Oelman attempted to attack after the election count- heaven knows why, Andy was a nice, mild mannered bloke who just happened to be good with a camera). So we asked him to take photos of the crowd at the Charlton - Arsenal game at Selhurst, and chose this kid from his resulting collection. The advice we had was that it was not illegal to use him without permission, but we much preferred to get that permission. But despite requests in - I think - the Voice, and maybe the programme too, nobody came forward.

Excellent background Prague, these posters are truly iconic, powerful and most importantly make a connection to all Addicks. It is early days to propose what will be in, but one of the ideas is to have part of the museum for lectures/talks and very quickly this material get's lost/damaged and details/facts like these get forgotten. As important as it is to have the medals and shirts, safely displayed for all fans, the social history/community side is also vitally important, and something that I know my fellow trustees are very keen to showcase. Photography and Graphic material/print is my area so lot's of work for me to get my teeth into to consider.

Is anyone ever going to organise a print run of these posters? I had a set once but they've gone missing and I'd love to replace them.

good idea for a money spinner for the museum
