I would ask Mel what she knows about a home match against Huddersfield in the late fifties. (If you're reading this Mel, then you can research it, and find out where the Miller Hospital was located...there's a challenge for you).
Why ?
As a way of discovering if she is curious about great moments in Charlton history.

So asking her about closed hospitals in Greenwich is how you test her knowledge of Charlton history? Your lessons when you were a teacher must have been very "weird". I'm a trustee of the Charlton Athletic Museum and didn't know about the Miller hospital but then it shut in 1974 when I was 13 and plays such a marginal role in our "history" that it is meaningless.
What I can confirm is that she has visited the Charlton Athletic museum as many times as you Seth as that's where she was asked if she would come to a Bromley meeting and where she said she would. At that point she'd been in post for two weeks.
Even as a Charlton history buff I don't expect her or other staff to learn 111 years of history in a few days but she has taken an interest. And as she and the head of Marketing said they think a trip to the museum should be part of the induction.
That isn't the criteria she should be judged on though IMHO, there are far more important things for her to know and do that being able to tell us where Derek Ufton went when he dislocated his shoulder. And with luck we'll talk about those other things tonight.
PS The Marketing manager asked me about the Addicks and I explained how it came about and added for good measure "so when the next time someone suggests changing the nickname you'll understand why it is unique and can't be changed" to which she replied "not on my watch".

Enjoy Blood Brothers, I'm looking forward to hearing what Mel and Chris have to say before judging them.
good luck this evening, can someone ask Mel to ensure that her staff keep the OS up to date as they still don't have the attendance figures for the PNE match, but PNE do, but then again PNE is a proper English football club.
Is this the same Mel Baroni who is a senior account manager at M&C Saatchi sports and entertainment?. Sounds like we have outsourced our communications to a firm that really doesn't give to hoots other than to take the money?
have we out-sourced? I thought she now worked worked for Charlton as to at M & C on behalf of Charlton?
Yes, it may simply be a matter of semantics but her Linked-in profile (today) states the following: Senior Account Manager M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment October 2014 – Present (1 year 5 months) Day-to-day management of Reebok Global, Reebok UK and O2. Previous clients have included The FA, US Olympic Committee, NatWest and Powerade.
There is no actual mention of Charlton!
All the evidence therefore points to a Consultant appointment doesn't it? That's still effectively outsourcing or am I missing something. And isn't it odd that a PR type person would not update her profile page? The mystery sickens.
Occam's razor - she's just not updated her LinkedIn yet. Although as a comms professional...
Seth, referencing your original post, not really sure why she has got to know about our famous match against Huddersfield to be good at her job? She's not a fan, and yes whilst I'm sure it would help her to brush up on aspects of our history I suggest we judge her on the job she does, not which football matches from the 50's she can recall.
