Sat down and had a bit of a read - it's terrific. I was expecting something glossy, but the quarterfold on newsprint works well. The writing's great, the design's superb. Hats off. Enjoyed the heavy hint from a fellow SE7 resident that Mr Sandgaard might like to invest in a local pub :-)
I really liked MOD. Only comment is that most of the writers CAFC memories only seem to date from Premier League days. The Great Danes article missed out Ostergaard and Jacobsen. Nevertheless great graphics and very good mag.

Ostergaard and Jacobsen were the first of our Great Danes.
They made a big news event at Charlton at the time of their signing. I wonder why they were forgotten?

Probably because they weren't great.
Yeah, with hindsight. But they were decent enough for the level we were then playing at.
But there was plenty of fanfare at the time - and they had made their mark for a while at Charlton, a couple of years before Allan Simonsen signed. My generation of fans still talk about them today - so they had an impact.
ordered mine earlier. is any one on here involved? also is it a independent fanzine?
The list rolling in from the Thames column on Page 18 is by myself under my Cafc Facts and Stats account on Twitter.
Nice to be asked to contribute, likewise with Voice of the Valley (again this month on Page 33) through Matt Wright asking for assistance and the South London Press with Richard Cawley.
Hopefully this will be a regular feature in the magazine.

Charlton used to have a footy quiz team years ago, you would have had to be captain. Nobody would have been able to touch you.

Yes there was fanfare but they both proved to be not decent enough for second division level. Both only played a handful of games. Ostergaard was a forward and only scored 1 goal , which I saw at Wrexham ( a cracker ). Jacobson was a bit of a lightweight midfield player. In fairness to Ostergaard he was an international but the trouble was it was in ice hockey.

I quite like that we’ve got a younger group of Charlton fans producing content.
A really great read, loved all the articles particularly those by David Thomson as he nails the issues of today by linking back to our past. He also gets it right with the demise of the pubs around the Ground and how the fans bar will not work for many.
Hope this is here to stay, all those chirping about the price, having now read it's exceptional value
Great to hear that copies arrived soon after ordering.
When I read that the January issue of Valley Review was on sale, I ordered one....checked that was on 24th December.
And I'm still waiting.....
I ordered the Valley Review around about the 13th Jan and received by 18th.
I ordered the Valley Review on the 7th and It came on the 23rd, which has been about typical with every issue this season. In this case I chased it last Monday and it was finally posted on Wednesday, second class. I understand they are only going in alternate days to post out, and clearly Royal Mail have their own issues, but there’s obviously something very wrong with the club’s system too.
We’ve only had major delivery problems with the December VOTV - the latest one has been pretty good.

Between MOD and VOTV, we're spoiled.

It is superb. Far better than I was expecting (and arrived by first class mail the day after ordering).
Well done to Gavin for getting it up and running and to the excellent contributors.
Not bothered about the quality of the paper at all, it's fine unless you start throwing it around or putting your coffee cup on it.
Can't wait for #02
