Wednesday, April 3rd  Save the date and join us at The Valley for a free Family Fun Day during the Easter holidays 



Good idea to make it free as might attract local kids who aren't Charlton fans and their parents

    Only for the actual match afterwards to put them off for life.

    They did this last season I think before a game. Was a complete disappointment for those that went. Not saying this will be the same but there was a few on here saying they brought their kids along to find there was hardly anything there.

    Nothing in life is free Rodders. They want your soul.

    Museum is open from 11 to 2.30 in case anyone wants some peace from the kids/wants to show the kids some history.

    So how was it?
  • My kids really enjoyed it. Was plenty going on and my wife said it was very busy down there. Plenty of players there to sign things and take pictures with the kids. My boys enjoyed the tour and there were players in different parts of the tour to talk to. There was also a Q&A with Nathan Jones, Alfie May, Karen Hills and one of the ladies players. My boys found it interesting and we're lucky enough to get a picture with Alfie.

    So how was it?
    I thought it was a really good day both my boys loved it. Did a mini tour with your bro which was really interesting think will do the full tour soon. 

    Credit to the players it must be a long repetitive few hours but all of them were great and had time for the kids. Dobbo was still signing things even after 3 when the players were due  to leave but he still did it with a smile on his face. 

    Well done to the club.

    My daughter really enjoyed it. She enjoyed meeting the players and some of the other attractions. She was absolutely devastated when queuing for an autograph for Alfie May and was told he needed to go and wouldn’t do any more. She liked Dobson and Hector the most…

    The Nigerian food stall was nice 👍🏼, very tasty.

    Good for a free event, ours did start getting a bit bored after a couple of hours but more likely their ages. Busy and it was a struggle to actually shop in the shop with the queue in there for the autographs. Perhaps starting it outside might be an idea next time.
    Players we saw were almost all good with the kids, in particular Hector, Bakinson and Isted.

    I’m delighted to hear this.
    Brilliant.
    @Dizzle sorry to hear this. Maybe someone at the club can get it for her?
  • We took four of our grandchildren down to the Valley, and they thought was great fun. Our grand daughter of 6 really enjoyed the 'Climbing wall" and managed to ring the bell at the top, they particularly liked the play station, although the two 2 year old were more interested in the fire brigade and police, who were very friendly. It got a bit cold, so we left after 2 hours, we bought a team for  kit /shirt for each of them, thankfully they were on a great price reduction, but the small sizes were in very short supply!.... pity as quite a demand. Staff at CAFC were helpful and despite a cloudy day, the kids, and parents seemed to have a good few hours. Wanted to visit the museum, but will do that on another visit the two six year olds asked to go to a game, so good PR Charlton!

    Honestly, it’s ok. We weren’t the only family disappointed and it themed well with me trying to teach her this half term that she cannot always get what she wants or get her own way. Although I did buy her an ice cream to stop the tears!

    Nothing bad! Not really fair to name, just one was a bit awkward and didn't seem that comfortable with the photos. I did come away thinking what a friendly group of players we have.

    Me + kids stayed after the Exeter game and every player came over and posed for a picture with my kids individually (+Nathan Jones and Curtis Fleming - bless him, Fleming seemed surprised someone wanted their photo with him!).  All super polite and I thought particularly AMB and Ness.
