The pitch was exactly the same length as Stoke's. We heard recently from Guinness who just said sorry, there is already a record for this etc... It appears they haven't even bothered to check it out fully and without that, it's our word against theirs.
I've tried to fight for it, but Guinness aren't interested. It's a shame, because you can bet your bottom dollar that if it was the likes of Arsenal or Chelsea staking their claim, they would be all over it.

Olly.
It is on film, won't that do?0 -
Like that hotel in Dubai - the self proclaimed 7 star hotel - Dimi should become the self proclaimed World Record Holder.Ollywozere said:The pitch was exactly the same length as Stoke's.

It is, and we provided that to them, but they need to do the job of officially measuring out the pitch, using the footage to measure exactly where he was stood etc... but they're not interested. I also tried to get Opta involved, but to no avail.
Unfortunately, it's just much more glamorous to have an international keeper holding the record from a Premier League match than Charlton's U18 keeper in Professional Development League 2 match. That's the distinct impression I'm getting anyway.1 -

Or a twitter account?
Or a website
I know we have other fish to fry but maybe the fans could encourage them to pay more attention.
I'm boycotting drinking Guinness until they give him the record but an email/twitter campaign might help more.6 -

as Henry says surely we can campaign to get Dimi's goal the record?1

There is probably a fans day planned outside the West Stand from 10:30 / 12noon on Saturday, at 12noon there is a West Stand protest against the running of the club, then at 12:30 there is a match between Charlton and Ipswich.LargeAddick said:as Henry says surely we can campaign to get Dimi's goal the record?
The Guinness protest can be held in the West Stand car park at the following times:
- 9am / 10:30... In the West Stand Car Park (before the fan thingy)
- 2pm onwards... After the match
Or we could become even more unique as a Football Club and have the Guinness protest outside the North Stand the same time as the West Stand protest and give fans the option of what to be against?4 -
Anyone know what colours we could wear to protest about Guinness?1

White and Black?Henry Irving said:Anyone know what colours we could wear to protest about Guinness?
Would mean we'd need to order some different scarves though as we've only got Black and White ones at the moment

Moving away from Guinness protests, I wonder if Ba might get some minutes today, as otherwise due to the break and his suspension it'll be 3 weeks without a game between Sheffield and Ipswich1

Why the blazes did I think Vaz Te had scored!!... think it was because I saw that Vaz Te had rattled the crossbar a few minutes beforehand and got the two names mixed up.Henry Irving said:

84' Bissaka booked for Palace after cynically chopping down Charles-Cook as he galloped down the wing. #cafc0

I bet they'd start to get interested if we bombarded their social media accounts with stories about them using incorrect outdated "facts" and questioning whether they could be trusted. #uselessxmaspresentOllywozere said:The pitch was exactly the same length as Stoke's.
