This is a big surprise considering we’ve been in partnership with the university for a number of years. Obviously they won’t turn down the chance of further sponsorship/funding and brand exposure but that mob aren’t even in the borough. Just bemusing! They are about 10 years behind us.
I’m starting my new job there on Monday. Don’t worry fellow lifers I will promise to get to the bottom of this and make sure the appropriate person is held accountable.

Congrats on the new job, but how much influence are you actually gonna have from the broom cupboard???
Slightly insulting, they should be partnering with Croydon College or whatever dump near them
crazy that UoG have partnered with CPFC - having been so engrained in both CAFC and CACT work the last few years!
Why surprised, they now get a degree of Premiership promotion of the University.
for all the talk of 'working with local communities' and the work Charlton do with their students - they now partnered and seemingly placed higher precedence on a club that is almost an hour away - rather than one that is 15mins!
Club have worked with UoG on many schemes and projects, even working with them on training ground/UoG land usage at sparrows.
UoG will now effectively be directing students OUTSIDE the borough, rather than 'just down the road' to The Valley
It will likely help improve their ability to recruit overseas students, the government reduce the number of student visas.
Let's face it. Charlton are not really wanted in Greenwich, by the council, university or a large number of the residents. The council would like nothing more than for Charlton to move out so they can knock down the Valley, build more houses/flats to get more council tax payments and gain more revenue by charging residents to park outside their property.
Why would you partner yourself with a team outside your Borough ?? Whatever next.....Cambridge Uni partnering with Newcastle because they won a Cup last season ???
Do we still have any kind of tie / connection with University of Greenwich? I’m assuming there’s something still as it’s on the back of our new away kit we’ll be playing in tomorrow.
A repeat of the time we were all suggested to remove Llanera from our shirts was it that time?

Ranked 117th out of 120 in the guardian's annual university guide. It would probably be better off relocating to Norwood tbf.
Im hoping to be the NJ of Greenwich either way,
going to take us from lower table obscurity up into the championship of universities.
Pass the sick bowl

Why would Greenwich decide that’s a good idea.
Hope we cut all ties with them. No benefits, sponsors etc.
Dickheads.
Not sure what to think really. But hope it all works out for everyone involved.
