I wasn't at the earlier meetings (I was at University) - but I didn't steal anyone's seat - I didn't get in, but had to content myself with standing outside and hoping to hear how things were going...
[cite]Posted By: falconwood_1[/cite]Out of interest, how many of you were at the 1st ever BTTV meeting at Greenwich Town Hall?
I was there. I also went to the BTTV meeting at the Valley Club when the guest was Mark Aizlewood. We nearly took the roof off with a rendition of 'Aizlewood, Aizlewood, Aizlewood...'

Ah, the good old days..."
Was that a BTTV meeting? I thought it was a q&a session with Ufton, Lawrence & Aizlewood.
That was the night I got one of the swords from the top of the fence.

Probably more of a 'we should have stayed at the Valley' meeting. All I can remember is that it was very packed, very loud and most people were very drunk.
The Valley Club in October 1986 - Mercury petition Woolwich Town Hall in March 1989 - club announcement Greenwich Borough Hall in autumn 1989 - fans' public meeting Woolwich Town Hall in January 1990 - planning refusal Woolwich Town Hall in May 1990 - local elections count and declarations Woolwich Town Hall in April 1991 - planning approval
I was at the Greenwich meeting where a 17 year old Ben Tegg was declared too young to stand for election. He then took my details for canvassing but never got back to me. Maybe cos I was living in Essex. I also went to the Woolwich Town Hall meeting where the planning approval was given. Don't remember any problems getting in. Sat up on the balcony next to someone with a flag. I've got the video here somewhere. I remember driving home, trying not to feel too euphoric, then heard on the radio that there were some outstanding problems with the bowling hall opening hours. What happened to the bowling hall?

Was at all of them and in the main hall for the planning approval.
Can spot myself, my brothers, Steve Reader and @Alex Wright up in the balcony
Must be other lifers in there.
I remember that night very well. If you look on the right side of the photo, I am in the little fella in the 5th row. From the left. I don't know who the first 2 are. Then there is Ron, Marc Robert, little me Paul Rudnik, I think Les son, Les Turner (whom I met through work when I worked at the DHSS).

I remember everyone singing Aizlwwood name when he came in, but as soon as he said we should get behind the move to Shithouse Park, everyone told him to Foxtrot Oscar.

I was at the first meeting as well when they said no and there was a mass walk-out from the Charlton fans.

If Carlsberg did stadium announcements....
10 minutes later there were complaints on Netaddicks about how the points for away tickets were allocated.
