Someone from the Cray Valley Staff has been on the SE9 Facebook Group asking if anyone can loan the club some sort of measuring tool as they have to "prepare a report" for the Council. Assume Greenwich and the Police are asking for assurances around entrances and segregation.
Scratching my head, "where the bloody hell is the ground?" and Google Maps has just jogged the memory. It also shows how detached I am from the area now. I spent my childhood not one quarter of a mile from it, mum worked in the office of what was called the Wadham Stringers garage next door in the 70's. I lived in Middle Park in the 90's!!! Blimey, that's where it is...
Bloody hell, small world, I worked at Wadham Stringers (AKA Cliftons pre takeover) in the early 70's
From some-one who went to their ground lunchtime. They are planning on playing it there but it will be Wednesday not Tuesday
when do players leave to go on International duties ? Aren't International matches arranged for the Thursday/Friday/Sat etc.
I would have thought a Wednesday evening game would mean players called up for International duties might not be able to play for us. I mean, AMB might have to travel to Oz, or Hector & Thomas to the Caribbean.

Comes with the territory of a ‘cup run’ AND having multiple internationals…

I believe a Mr Patel has something that may assist them.

Did you put the clutch in Harry Carpenter 1100?
Probably, but the warranty has run out...sorry...🤔

Remember, measure twice, cut once
After Patel - don't be showing me pictures like that.

Its a mystery to me any of our players are 'internationals'

First ever Charlton Life paternity claim
Up for that. 50 years of backdated pocket money!
The Cliftons Roundabout garage. Used to get my World Cup stickers from there, unless I got caught.

Having had time to think about it, I think there's a case for putting the exact same team out.
- It protects our better players - It provides consequences for the lack of effort first time around - It provides a chance at redemption
There is, of course, a pretty bug argument against - we could lose! But...its not out of the question that Appleton could put those players back in again
No, no, no ... and, if that's not emphatic enough, F***ING NO!
I would rather start with ten players than have the number 14 back out on the pitch.
Any manager/head coach that picks the current number 14 in a match day squad should be subject to instant dismissal for gross negligence.
Charlton colts played 100 or so yards away from Cray Valley Paper Mills ground in the late 1960s early 1970s Peek Freens ground just off from Clifton’s roundabout, watched many agame there. I remember the goalkeepers name Clarke and centerforward was Smedley.
Capacity of 1,000. They had more than that in the Jimmy Seed today. They should see if a local club can host it for them. The Valley maybe? 😜
Let them have the West Stand and the PA system and announcers (couldn't be worse?) and we could all go in the Jimmy Seed to see if the accoustics really are better?

Used to frequent the main bar regularly in the mid 80s, drinking snake bite and black.

Ideal. Play the game and go home with £50 in your pocket.
Hopefully I will get one
