    "Andy Nelson's Red and White Army"

    Great history.

    The rattle would have been at least 35 years old (and possibly 60 year old) by the time it was adapted for Andy Nelson...

    Items taken off the dressing room wall by Andy Soloman during the exodus years

    Team notice for players telling them who's playing, when they are leaving and what to wear.

    Kids, ask your granddad what the initials mean.

    I’m probably overthinking it, but my point being, we weren’t in exodus at the time, so I can only assume it was left on the wall for the next 5 games before we left the Valley?

    Back in the day I seem to remember Ray Treacy used to rub whisky into his legs pre match maybe it caught on with this squad.

    "Andy Nelson's Red and White Army"

    I found out by chance the other day that football rattles were used to produce a warning/assistance noise (think policeman's whistle) by nightwatchmen.  Presumably they were adopted for football supporter use later?
    Here's a photo You can see the rattle tucked under his diagonal belt:

    Away games were rough in the old days.

    Most of the post-war rattles were repurposed Air Raid Wardens rattles

    I finally managed to get to a match and visit the Museum with my mate from Milan (AC). We posed in front of a photo of The Valley that he  gave to me for my birthday which I donated to the museum. I also donated the college scarf with badges and it was nice to hear that it’s a popular item. If only I kept up with the collection of enamel badges.

    Sorry to miss you @Solidgone

    That was me getting in the lift as you got out.

    The badges are a real talking point and it's a great photo.

    We have a few programmes donated yesterday, mainly premier league stuff but found a 1947 cup final programme and a 1946 final ticket buried in amongst them so worth the sesrch. Also a signed Carl Leaburn "procard"

    I went for the first time before Stevenage. Was superb, miles better than I had expected to be honest and certainly MILES better than the game!

    Would highly recommend everyone to go.

    Sadly, some of our donations come following the death of life long Addicks.

    After spreading his ashes at the Valley memorial garden on Wednesday, the family of David Emerson dropped off some rare and unusual items including these handbooks, the red one is very rare, and a 1958/59 trade card.

    Part of David Emerson's family donation were some 1940s and 50s programmes including these two consecutive home games from 1948.

    We were 3 - 0 up after 15 minutes, including a 45 yard free kick, Sam Bartram was barged into the net and played on with an injured ankle, Woolwich made it 3 - 3 before Chris Duffy scored an 80th minute winner.

    We were also given this rather fetching hat from that great day out at Wembley.

    The other new "item" in the museum was Summer, an 11 week old from Taunton.

    AS it was the 77th Anniversary of the FA Cup win she, and others, got to hold one of our four winners medals.

    Got some good feedback in our visitors book too.
