The Valley Cup 27th May - 7 aside tournament

Curb_It

Is Charlton Life going to enter a team?

Do you think you’ve got what it takes to be crowned the champions of SE7? This is your chance to compete at The Valley!

 

On Monday, May 27th, we will be hosting the first ever Valley Cup, giving supporters the chance to compete in a 7-a-side tournament on the hallowed turf.

 

Entry for the tournament is priced at £200 per team and there is a maximum of 10 players per squad, all of which must be over the age of 18.

 

Teams will compete in a group stage and then, dependant on their league position at the end of group matches, they can qualify for the knockout rounds.

 

All teams will have access to the home and away dressing rooms, dugouts and a hospitality lounge. Each team will also have their photo taken in front of the famous North Stand or ‘Covered End’ as it is known by fans.

 

The winners of the tournament will win £500 and be awarded with the first ever Valley Cup trophy. Winners & runners-up will receive medals. Friends and family are welcome to come and watch at The Valley for free.

Should they win it, there would be a complete meltdown at Duchataway mansions and a news blackout on the OS. 😂😂😂

Wonder if the First Team will enter seeing thats the number of players we'll no doubt have come then

Mrkinski

Wonder if there will be a RolandOut team?

The day after CAFC win the play off final at Wembley (not sure any Lifers will be in a fit state to play football).

NOT A PENNY MORE UNTIL THE DECREPIT LYING OLD TWUNT IS GONE FOR GOOD
Any relaxing of this for any reason at all is appeasement of the loathsome scumbag tantamount to endorsing everything he has done and continues to do.
Not so much lying with the dog so much as feeding and petting the cur while it pisses on your shoes, shits on your carpet and savages your children.
Everything changes the minute he's gone, but not a second sooner.
No exceptions, no excuses, no forgiveness, never forgotten.

Guess not then

Call me Mr Cynic but.... a stampede of groups of people got themselves organised, filled a team, stumped up £200 to sell an event out in less than 24hrs? Really??

unless it’s a carve up with the usual club friendly companies, something don’t sound right to me. Why no mention of the number of teams? Why if there was such great demand did they not tweak the format to maximise more? 

All very odd. I reckon the number of genuine supporters teams will amount to the number of fingers in a pair of mittens

But you make a good point. It does seem a very quick turnaround but who knows.

Can't say I'm really bothered though.

Nor am I I hasten to add

SE7toSG3

this sounds like the classic company vacancy that was advertised internally a month before,

My money is on Keohane Rovers lifting the cup after narrowly beating Club Shop Kenny Town in the final....

AFKABartram

Strange as well that if as a club event aimed at supporters (and I assume to be profitable) would they put up chunky prize money when they could easily award in a non-financial way*

They saw on here that CL might enter a team, got worried and closed the entry
