One of my team members is the main man for committee/bar and maintenance work etc at Old Brockleians at Middle Park, they've just done a 4 page spread on him in Rugby World Magazine0

I know he made a shed load of money from the pub when he sold it, his two sons also work for the company, whats your dads first name?sam3110 said:

I went to Brockley County School and found it to be a terrible institution. Now looking back I think it was even worse than it felt like at the time.

I remember that. They lost as far as I recall. Great to watch if you need to catch up on some sleep.eastterrace6168 said:
I'm ashamed to say that I actually went to see them once out of curiosity, can't remember anything about the game, so must have been memorable...but the lo-light of the day was they had Bay City Rollers on as half time "entertainment"...😂Crusty54 said:

Is Hughes' half a mill part of the seven mill when we reach The Premiership?Airman Brown said:
Well, Dave Hughes - who was much more interested in RL than Charlton - became a CAFC director and put £500k into the football club when asked which he still hasn’t had back. So there’s that.Ferryman said:I beleive we barely made six figures from the London Broncos tenure so is worth the hassle?
But I agree it’s probably not a significant earner, not least because no one can invest in the ground while the Belgian owns it.0 - Sponsored links:

Roland put in a new pitch too.fenaddick said:
You mean like the new pitch, safe standing, fan zone, fans bar refurb etc.? I know it isn't much but that's more investment and interest than the Belgian put into itAirman Brown said:

Christ, not again.Henry Irving said:This rumour was going around a few months ago.
No idea how far it got but there were talks.
Talk of it being for their 25/26 season if they actually exist as a team, which isn't by any means guarenteed.
Council and local residents would have issues and license at the Valley is for playing football. Regular non-football events fall outside of the licence.
Wasps have also left a trail of chaos and debt everywhere they have been so maybe not the best tenents.0 -

Not sure if they have the freehold or lease on the old poly ground but I know Millwall academy also have a regular presence there.InspectorSands said:
Blackheath upped sticks to Eltham because they didn't want to share bar takings, etc, with the other clubs based at the Rectory Field (tennis, cricket, etc). Well Hall is exclusively theirs, I think. They were getting about 1,000 at the Rectory Field for third-tier rugby, not sure what they get now.seth plum said:I am pretty sure that I saw a sign on the gate to Rectory Field that Askeans now play there.
If that is right then the place is possibly viable for Rugby, maybe Blackheath will return there one day.
Askeans play much further down the rugby pyramid - when they moved in they weren't charging an admission fee for spectators.
Blackheath own the freehold of the old Poly ground.

Our pitch is cutting up quite badly just with the women's team now on it as well. Put rugby on there and it just wouldn't hold up0 -
Get rid of all the Who bollocks in the Museum, where are the signed posters for the Rollers?Henry Irving said:

Let's hope they have turned them down. It was a con any way.
Good chance no money would have appeared and all the cost would have been ours.0 -

Pitch didn't look good on Saturday, when Charlton TV did any close ups. Obviously, that's looking on the stream and maybe it looks better in person.SoundAsa£ said:

This was a brand new pitch laid in the summer, shouldn't really be that bad already , what are other clubs doing which make their pitch look immaculate all year round0

If they arrive, the Valley will become a hive of activity. Especially if they bring their B team with them.3

It’s a bit rough in the areas where the warm ups happen, but it’s hardly falling apart, ridiculous nonsense from some againsuperclive said:

Ridiculous to say a pitch that clearly has cut up in places after 1/4 of a season would struggle with the demand of adding a rugby team on top of the men's and women's teams already playing on it? Ok.1
