    We think this is one of the robin mascots from the Selhurst years.

    Must be a good luck charm for the new era.

    Does anyone know a Charlton supporting dry cleaners who could do the museum a big favour?

    Or a taxidermist?

    Doesn't look like the one attacked at the Junior Reds Christmas do at the Meridian in 1991

    "A good omen for the new era"

    Undefeated as at 17:07, March 16th, 2021 so I'd say it's working.

    Saw a Robin in a tree while out with the dog today. Singing beautifully

    The door is alarmed, and I can't say I blame it.

    You might want to get Gavin out of it ... especially if it goes to the taxidermist.

    Richard Redden pulled it out of a skip in Keaton many years ago.

    It's been in his loft ever since.

    We THINK it's the Selhurst Robin but we need

    A. A photo to confirm

    B. A dry cleaners

    Is that lump on its face supposed to be a beak? Or has someone choked it with a loaf of stale bread?

    Yes.

    Why Bristol City would dispose of a robin in Keston we don't know but it may still not be a Charlton robin.

    Historians need confirming evidence.
