    I think Henry is right. If I remember this correctly the first use of the robin badge was in the 1946 cup final though that particular design may have been a little different to yours.

    When I read that earlier, I wondered what on earth you could mean, who would be pleased to see a precious item missing? Now it's clear, you meant our beloved CEO!

    I popped in this afternoon, too, and great to see that nothing stands still. New exhibits all the time and a lifetime of work continues. So good to see people with passion, energy and commitment behind this. How many of us have Charlton treasure buried in the attic - stuff with little or no material value but which is part of the history of our club or the history of it's supporters which should be shared and enjoyed by so many others? Let's hope that a more appropriate space can be found for the Museum in the future where we can better showcase our proud history and better store and catalogue ongoing donations.

    Popped in this morning - there's always something to learn and something new to see, though the promised star item hadn't arrived when I was there. Sounds good though.
    The Museum is a credit to the dedicated Charlton fans who run it and from friends descriptions of visiting other clubs museums, probably worth a wider bit of promotion once we are all pulling in the same direction.

    Popped in with the football hating Wife this morning - was well worth the visit and even she said it was great! Well worth a donation to keep these fantastic historical items preserved for all to see. Well done the people behind this project and can't wait for new stuff to be discovered and put on display. If you haven't been well worth a visit.
