    Two new #cafc badges donated to the museum's collection. The first is an early 1950s and very hard to find "Robins Club" lapel badge. The other is much easier to get, just sign up for @CAFCTrust's excellent "Friends of CACT" programme and get one free https://cact.gives/friends-of-cact

    The way we’ve been playing lately I would have thought a ‘Friends of cack’ badge would be more appropriate

    More 8" x 6" press photos from pre-season 1952 donated by 87 year old fan Polly Huggins.

    You can still see the holes where drawing pins were used to pin them up.

    Bartram, Fenton and Hurst head and shoulder shots
    Sam Bartrum has such an iconic look to him.
    Any idea how old the other 2 were when the photos were taken?
    I'm assuming they weren't U21s at the time.

    As well as photos, the museum holds a number of artists' images of #cafc and the Valley.

    This drawing by local artist, writer and fan Tony Lord was used on a club Christmas card.

    The museum is open tomorrow, Friday, from 11 to 2.30

    Love that Tony Lord painting, that’s how I remember my first visits to The Valley!

    Tony Lord had a local history column in The Mercury back in the day - Used to look forward to reading it every Thursday.

    Always used to buy these at away games when the coach stopped at services on the way back.

     I remember buying the Saturday night paper for the results from headphones Norm who went from Street corner to corner selling them round our Estate. Everything is instant now. Thank you Norm,  RIP mate.
