Museum open this Saturday 11.00 to 1.00. No need to book

Henry Irving

Just turn up.

Entrance by turnstile 40 to the left of the big badge. Tell any lurking stewards you are going to the museum then jump in the lift to the third floor.

Suggest you don't arrive later than 12.30 or you won't have time to see it all.

Free entry but bring money to buy stuff from the shop or to donate. Please.

Open Friday too 11.30 to 3.30 when SG3 will be hosting and taking delivery of a signed matchworn shirt from a player who went on to play for England.

No. But I believe there is a bag of old shirts that the museum is open to offers on

Shame. Still might have a look just in case I find a retro one there!

I am there tomorrow. Are you after match worn ones? If so, what player are you after?

ElfsborgAddick

Steve Brown preferred, a Redbus home

There was a good steve brown one on ebay last week. If my memory serves me right it was a MESH one but it was fully signed

Never go down that route, the price seems to get inflated, but most importantly I get worried about the authenticity.

Got Green's poppy shirt from Halifax and Youds' away Redbus top(although of course he never wore it!).
But, still clinging on to get a home top. I'll have to bide my time I suppose.

Fair enough and yes, some of the prices for some of the match worn shirts are well over priced (btw the brown one that I was referring to was genuine)

I have one of those and signed by the squad as well. White though.

My first visit today and well worth the trip. If you haven't paid a visit yet, then pop down. Staggered by how much other bits there are and not even on show yet due to the space/time.

Was busy as well and good to chat to many different people.

Even found some old ledgers from Charlton's youth team from 1940 and 1941 when my grandad played as a centre forward. Love the comments about each player as well. My grandad's comments ranged from "An opportunist" to "Not good enough" and "Lazy"

Henry Irving

Was just chatting to Clive on the phone and can't believe there were 40 people there today including some lads over from Ghana who loved it, a West Ham fan who offered to help and some people from Eastbourne who found a play-off final shirt in a storage locker.

Clive is going to tweet a lot of pics so get on @chathmuseum

Glad you liked it Shirty. Now you know what I meant about needing help to sort it all.

Great day today, thanks to all who came down and the items donated were superb, from a pre season tour of Tunisa penant from 1975 (which we won and have the trophy for) to some old valley signage.

We were also given Scott Parkers matchworn Addicks Shirt, 1940's scrapbooks and the lost recording of our last Valley match, after 30 years we can put commentary to the silent footage from that incredible and thankfully not final day.

I have tweeted some pics

Just been in museum with my son some interesting stuff on show worth a look , great idea would be nice to see it get bigger .

Dippenhall

Spent really enjoyable hour going round the museum, quality stuff, makes the best of limited space, would be great incorporated into one of the lounges. Congratulations to Henry and all concerned.

Henry Irving

Good to meet you Dippenhall. Good to see Boogica, stuart, red panda and teds addicktion too

Glad you enjoyed it.

Teds addiscktion solved the riddle of why we have a Royal Marine Helmet in the museum.

Got some great new items on Friday and some more today including some 50s programmes.

Henry Irving

The museum will be open this Friday and Saturday.

That White one is my preferred shirt over the years.

It is and you get the added bonus of me welcoming you : - )

Fumbluff

That's why we're going today instead

timken

Any thoughts on the China 2004[giant] poster I brought in last week?

Henry Irving

It's great and it is huge.

We spent a while trying to work out where we could put it and we think we might have a solution.
