  • Only just over a 1000 voted?
    I know it was only my 1st game Saturday, but I would've thought they'd of be quite a few more votes 
  • Sam Bartram got 30% of the vote. What were people thinking?
  • "Ultimately, the mural will only go ahead if enough supporters are prepared to support it financially."

    Would be nice if the club decided to fund it themselves, or at least make a hefty contribution.
  • Is it me or is the wording just odd;

    HOME AGAIN. THE VALLEY,
    FLOYD ROAD.
    MY ONLY DESIRE.

    Just feels disjointed and a muddle.

    I think you could probably drop the “Home Again”. It’s referenced in the wording below so anyone who genuinely hasn’t got a clue what the mural is depicting will understand. 

    Also, the song is “Valley Floyd Road…” not “the Valley Floyd Road…”.
  • Really like the history board!
  • The history board loses marks by saying fans should visit The Charlton Museum instead of The Charlton Athletic Museum

    Best of a bad bunch IMO 

    Next job they have is redoing all the murals from the playoffs finals, or at the very least removing the mustache and cock and balls drawn on a couple of players
    That just creates more work for someone to replace them 😉

    Definitely agree with your first point, not sure about the second in this context. Would everyone get it, as it’s grammatically a bit dodgy.? 

    Otherwise I think it.s great. The result of all involved taking on board  previous comments. It.s always tough trying to get agreement for a creative idea from a committee; when that committee is 2k strong or more, well, glad I didn’t have to face that challenge.

    Good point but, to be fair, the wording was sent to the museum for comment before printing !
  • That's a great painting. Looks almost as good as a photograph.

    Don't recall seeing it, not to say it wasn't sent.
  • Looks good. Well done to all concerned.

    Can someone post up that first mock up again for comparison? I couldn't find it.

  • A few people I work with, not Charlton fans, thinks it looks really good and made them ask questions! 

    Amazing how these very people who grew up in Charlton/Woolwich/Greenwich had no idea of Leaving The Valley and the plight of trying to get back

    Comedy gold!
    Just glad they've used a photo rather than this nonsense or any of the other naff paintings that were considered.
  • It looks pretty good.
    It looks like a photo behind plastic, when I mistakenly thought it would be a painted mural (perhaps it is)?
  • Saw it all yesterday and thought it was good.

    Glad you like it and thanks for taking the trouble to say so. 

    Dibond is a leading brand of aluminium composite sheeting, renowned for its durability and versatility. While Dibond is a recognisable brand name, similar materials are also marketed under names like Dilite, Dibond Digital, and Raybond.

    Constructed from a core of flexible polyethylene, each side of a Dibond sheet is coated with a thin aluminium sheet. These layers are then finished with a high-quality lacquer, ensuring sharp and vibrant print results. This unique structure combines the resilience of aluminium with the flexibility of polyethylene, making it a top choice for a multitude of applications.

    Sounds like one of those adverts they read out on Charlton Live 
  • Like the one for the ‘River Owl House’ which is amusing, and helpful if looking for a river owl.
