    1086. The year the Doomsday Book was completed.

    I'm sure there's a punchline, but I really can't be arsed...
  • AlwaysneilAlwaysneil
    Nor me

    That sounds better too “takeover abandoned as no complete version of the Domesday book of Charlton’s assets could be found. Only existing copy has several Expenditure pages obfuscated by what appears to be lipstick”

    I could have bought all of Charlton for £7......and that would have included The Valley Cafe.

    So CARD are the true inheritors of Anglo-Saxon resistance.

    ‘Done Deal’ just won the 2.50 Chelmsford at 33/1. It’s a sign.

    Get on, "Dollar and a dream" 1.50 Uttoxeter, 20/1

    William the Conquerer was my 26th Great Grandfather.

    Resistance which was utterly crushed and destroyed followed by a period of brutal repression and the destruction of a whole way of life.

    Have a great day, everyone.
    Worst thing that ever happened to this country - it's taken us nearly 1,000 years to realise it and get out of French and German dominated Europe.

    (Awaits bellicose replies from Remainers - but please, careful with those arrows!)

    Is there any connection between this thread and the Jehovah witnesses ?

    There are remarkable similarities.

    In 1086, Charlton had 13 villagers and two slaves. Today 13 players, and Bowyer and Jackson.

    The tenant-in-chief was Bishop Odo. Now it's Roland Odd. Bishop Odo of Bayeux never visited either.

    The Lord of the Manor was William, son of Oger. Now it's Tony Ogre.

    Back then Charlton was worth £7. Now it's feck all.

    BTW, it's a bit weird that William, son of Oger held only three properties, Footscray, our Charlton and another Charlton down near Dover.

    Must have been confusing for him when he put ‘Charlton’ in his Satnav...

    From a friend who works closely with the club:

    Delay in takeover caused by one of Andrew Muirs investors not passing fit & proper test due to connections with a former club. Newcastle or Everton apparently.

    Deal is now complete and is awaiting approval from the FA.

    Won't be announced until after Norwich game.

    Thats good,@JamesSeed can you send my prize

    What about the EFL though?

    50% of 928 respondents said they were likely to buy a season ticket if there was a change of ownership

    https://castrust.org/2018/05/season-ticket-and-attitudes-survey-results/

    Yes I looked up the survey after I posted my question. Very useful.
    If I were the Aussies I might offer a discount for a couple of weeks after any takeover, although would anyone who had paid the higher price want a rebate?

    That site is really cool, thanks for sharing (the slaves thing is a bit grim though!).

    Any idea what The Valley Cafe were charging for a Full English back in 1086?
