    Best wishes to Chris and I hope the evening is a success. I for one am not going to pay sixty pounds for inedible food.
    That's the spirit.  A no would have sufficed
    A menu would have sufficed.
    If there was no menu, how would you know the food was 'inedible'?
    Because it was last time I attended one of these, a menu might have indicated some improvement.
    Riiiiiiight.

    I’ll find out and get back to you. Tbf Delaware North’s food is usually decent

    Bowyer attending now as well.

    Very good line up.

    Anyone else bought tickets or thinking about it?

    Good that Chris is donating all the money to Prostate Cancer and other charities.

    Following much discussion regarding the logistics of that weekend, our "lot" will now be booking a table for 10. 

    Driving to Bath for an overnight stay on the Friday, match after lunch on the Saturday followed by dinner in Bath, a further overnight stay and then driving back home after breakfast on Sunday.

    May need a few days to recover but it's all in a very good cause and with Chris being the 2 eldest grandkids' favourite player from day 1, we have to all be there.

    Not really something for us to promote to be honest, it’s being heavily advertised by the club with at least 20 times the reach we have on here, plus it’s already an open and active thread so on all our users radar.

    Hope it goes well

    CL hates Chris Solly shocker.

    OS has the quantity but CL has the quality and how can it hurt?

    £50.00 a ticket for a table of 10, money well spent in my opinion for what Chris has done for our club.
    I'm quite sure there's enough Charlton Life members out there to fill a few tables.

    For Seth and any other vegetarians out there thinking of attending, the lovely Tracey Leaburn has responded to a request for information re the main course option at the dinner and it's....Ta da ! 

    A vegetable wellington , with veggies in tomato sauce in a puff pastry sleeve, which Tracey and Chris himself have tested and advised " lovely" ! 

    REALLY hope this might encourage any waverers to join us at what promises to be a very special evening. 

    You KNOW it makes sense !

    Now up to 25 former team mates as guests showing how respected Chris is/was as a player for our team.

    Would be great for as many fans as possible to pay their respects to one of the most unassuming and normal players you could wish to meet

    Bumpety bump !

    Less than 7 days now until we join with Chris to celebrate the years that this lovely guy has dedicated to our famous football club and the good news is that there are still a few tickets available !  

    As @Swisdom said, there will be SO many of those favourite players we know & love in attendance so why not come along to chat with them & take those photos you always wished you had in the past. 

    Fanny & co will be there.

    Will you ?

    I came in to post about this - still a few tickets left but what price the chance to meet some of the ex-players as well as a chance to thank Chris for his years of dedicated service to us.  Even better after a fantastic performance on TV at the weekend

    I repeat - none of the money raised goes to Roland.  He is not involved at all - so if that is what is stopping anyone please rest assured he will not gain from this.

    The money is going predominantly to Prostate Cancer but a few other charities of Chris' choosing will also benefit

    As someone whose father who survived prostate cancer last year it is something I will most definitely be getting behind and I am looking forward to it very much

    LAST CHANCE FOR TICKETS

    ON SALE UNTIL MIDNIGHT TOMORROW (Tuesday 12th)

    Less than 30 left - would love to have a full complement if possible...

    go on, you know you want to. I’ve seen the tv listings for Sunday and they are shite so you might as well come along and have a jolly lovely evening with Chris, Yann, Jacko, Fanny, Dave Berry and stacks of other cool Charlton glitterati

    what are you waiting for

    Real shame it's not been a bigger seller, I can't get anyone to come, even for free!
