Thanks so much for your work on this Bob. I've been able to show my kids the video of me as the mascot for Simonsen's debut v Boro. It's given them the context behind one of the photos that's been on the wall in the utility room since before they were born. When I first saw it, I have to admit there was a lump in the throat!
I would like to think that there is a number of fans seeing themselves as kids forty years ago and reminiscing. It is one of the reasons I did not edit the recordings to just the games.
Wow, absolutely brilliant stuff. This is like all my Christmas' have come at once!
On other threads at the moment, there are links to games against Hull and Sheff Utd that were shown on the Big Match. Are you able to link to these in someway on the Museum site or is even that potentially a copyright issue? (Mind you, if they are readily available on Youtube, is it a real issue?)

Cheers, thanks @Bobk who did all the heavy lifting on this.
Not sure on Big Match games but as you say we may just be able to link to them.

We are building an archive where we hope you can access all the clips on youtube through the archive season playlist.
The YouTube channel is a remarkable addition to what is already a highly impressive archive. We are fortunate indeed that the Addicks' special heritage is so well documented.
(Small note - can the heading of the Bolton FAC4 tie be changed from 1923/1924 to 1922/1923, please?)

My father was in hospital when we played United away and when I gave him the programme he tried to buy the video from United only to be told it was unavailable.
It is great to see Aizlewood channeling Franz Beckenbauer and Mark Stuart's winner again after all of these years.
Totally agree. Without doubt the coldest I have ever been at football. The game would never be played now....the ground was beyond rock-hard. It was such a grim outcome too after such a bright beginning. I was about as miserable after this as I was in 1990 when we lost in the pouring rain at West Brom.

Used to go by coach from Dartford and for some reason the coach was at the ground about 130 that day. Decided to go in the main stand instead of the Sainsbury's End that game - bought a pack of cigarettes just to light and use as a hand warmer.
The only colder game been to was away to Notts County midweek around Halloween 90 or 91

Great article by Steve Dixon on the channel today in VOTV
Steve Dixon's piece in the VOTV is appreciated and highlights the aim to make an easily accessible video archive that brings back memories to all fans. Please keep checking the site for new uploads.
While we wait for some clarification to the Club's position over the Museum's video archive, can I suggest those who want their dose of nostalgia watch Kicking and Screaming. It is in my opinion the best documentary made about football. Stick with all six episodes, it is a real eye opener of the attitude of the FA. Available on the Museum Youtube channel under the Miscellaneous playlist.

Let me guess what they are moaning about. The end of season videos I suspect.
Pathetic if I've got that right because I can only assume they want people to subscribe to their Charlton TV service to see those videos rather than to watch them for free on the museum site.
The Kicking and Screaming is just a fantastic social history of football from its origins to the modern day (well 1996 when it was aired), to see all the greats of the 40s/50's being interviewed and excellently pitched, if you haven't seen it, or its been a few years I would recommend a re-watch. Thanks so much for sharing @BobK, I had clean forgot about it until your post above and really enjoying watching them again, a quality production.
So much fantastic content on the channel already - brilliant work. Full matches from the late 1990s to early 2000s. Right around the time I got the bug. :-)
I notice a lot of 97/98 highlights have gone up over the last day or so. That's me sorted for a while this evening.

Are they on "official" channels?

Thank you very much again @BobK.

Really enjoying it. Surprising favourite so far is Colin Powell testimonial...just a nice match.
Shit match, and I've never been so cold in my life.
