Evening all, on the back of today's good news and numerous pints I started to think 'how can we repay the loyal staff?'. Bowyer, JJ, Gallen, Olly, Tracy Leaburn and the rest deserve to know how much we appreciate them. Any ideas?

They get to keep their jobs now we aren’t going into administration!
I wish we could thank the staff that do the largely unsung jobs as well, tickets, groundsmen etc... but struggling to think of a working idea in this covid situation. A banner or poster?

I'm happy to raise it with the rest of the CAST board (although most should read it here like me).
My immediate questions would be how and to whom would it be distributed? i.e. does it only apply to staff who've been there 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years etc? Also would the 'playing' staff be included (You mentioned player management).
One thought I had a while ago was could we at least make up the lost salary for those who were furloughed, although practically, obtaining the information as to who and how much maybe a step to far for HR, data privacy etc.
It would be pretty straight forward to set up a crowdfund type initiative though as we had detailed plans for that in case we needed to enact it before our lord and saviour TS saved the day!

The obvious ones spring to mind first, but as we know there are numerous employees throughout the club. What I will say is, the loyalty of the backroom staff and Tracy / Olly need to be thanked, I can only imagine how stressed they've all been. For the sake of a 5er each we could really make them feel appreciated. I'm sure they know, but I feel like Bows needs a big hamper for his loyalty

Giving them money doesn’t quite sit right with me but Christmas Hampers would be a wonderful idea. Though you’d better be ordering them soon as they get hoovered up pretty quickly. All the major supermarkets do a range at various prices, they will deliver too.
The supporters of this wonderful club give thanks to the loyal and dedicated staff* of Charlton Athletic, whose commitment during the dark times ensured there was a club to save in 2020
Completely forgot to update this thread, but I had contact with the Trust and they plan on doing something similar, but obviously there are a few logistical constraints at the moment. So, thanks to all for the feedback anyway.
Just a sort of "late to the party" idea, regarding the suggestion of a plaque which i feel is a great idea, and thoroughly deserved, and the idea of the reception being a location. Would it not be a better idea to place in view of all supporters on the outside wall next to the main door into reception. Just a thought, as i think it would be important for full visibility to everyone.

Could be personally delivered by members.

Shut down the Post Office there when I was a teen with some mindless vandalism which was made even more exciting as we were right next to the nick.
Think they're still going.
Oh bugger, you said plaque.
