There were quite a few who went happily off to new homes a few years back…..indeed the club shop stock went pretty quickly and getting some more to come and join us seemed like it took an age.
Eventually some arrived and settled in quite happily but as previously, they once again were adopted by eager families and soon left SE7…..for pastures new.
I am left wondering how they have got on…..anyone got any particular tales about their lives and adventures?
Some photos would be great.

    I'd buy one if there were any being sold.

    They are not exactly sold Elfie, you don’t buy or own a Garden Gnome, you actually adopt them. 😏

    Not sure why the club don’t permanently have these in stock, they’ve always been very popular and are slightly more mobile than multiple members of the current first team squad.

    Mr Gnomedonca is now 10 years old and still a potent strike force keeping the local wildlife on their toes .

    Gave mine to my mates little girl earlier this year, apologised to her dad for landing on them in a parcel of Charlton stuff I had sitting around.

    Chris Trowel still reporting for duty. He went through a difficult phase where a cat kept shitting on him but more recently he’s had a robin that likes to perch on his head which is nicer
