There would have been several injured players there on the treatment table and doing gym work, along with medical staff and physios etc.
Though whether some of them coincided with the visitors being there is anyone’s guess......but it’s quite likely.
Sunday’s at the training ground is often much busier than you’d imagine, especially with the amount of injuries we have at present......for starters, Pearce and Reeves would almost certainly have been there, having picked up injuries at Barnsley.1 -

How exactly does this square with the “new owners” being introduced as such at the training ground ?

So it could just be that Richard Murray was right, we just messed up by assuming the wrong February.
No wonder RD hates us, we can’t get anything right

So Rick has told me that they were introduced to at least one staff member and other staff members have confirmed this.Chizz said:

As we wouldn't want any member of staff getting into any trouble, it's probably best to leave it there and no I don't know any names.0 -

Folks, I have lived in Oz for 20 plus years now and am pretty familiar with the local sporting scene across all codes.
Sorry to piss on the chips here but I have never heard of any “mid 30s” businessman involved in AFL that is minted - nobody comes to mind.
None of the AFL clubs have anything like the sort of cash needed to compete at Premier League level - not even the biggest clubs like Collingwood who regularly draw 80,000 crowds.
There are very few Aussies with the sort of cash that Charlton need except for the likes of James Packer, Gin Rinehart, Kerry Stokes or a handful of others.
The only young businessman with the sort of cash we are talking about here is someone like Mike Cannon-Brookes, founder of software firm Atlassian, but he has zero interest in football AFAIK.
Just doesn’t feel right to me.8 -

It is a consortium though. Several very wealthy individuals and not one. Let’s wait and see.Ormiston Addick said:Folks, I have lived in Oz for 20 plus years now and am pretty familiar with the local sporting scene across all codes.

Rumour from someone in Australia that the money is someone called Mike Cannon-Brookes who made his money in IT software.
Said to be worth £906m in 2006.
Can't reveal my source obviously.34 - Sponsored links:

Someone told me the new consortium members are James Packer, Gin Rinehart, Kerry Stokes and a handful of others. Don't shoot the messenger, but it seems a very reliable, well-connected source.11
