    You're not on the Trust board anymore, you don't speak for them and the remaining Trust board members either laugh at you or see you as an embarrassment.

    Your record is badly scratched my friend. Go on, pick up the phone and work with, not against, the fans of CAFC. Or perhaps you prefer the place that Steve Bradshaw positioned you?

    I think its a great shame that so many positive threads degenerate into bickering. How about we all move on?

    Ken and I have both been long time supporters of the museum, and will continue to be. The Trust as a whole also supports all supporter groups like thr Museum, indeed we are hoping to donate one of our ACV placards and would also like one of the two signed commerative certificates to be put in the museum if Mr Hayes can rescue it from Ben Kensells office wall.

    I think there is defintely more room for collaboration, in a similar way that we help Valley Gold - perhaps a spread in the next TNT- As indeed we are on the valley gold bttv dinner committee and will be helping to publicise it - some of the profits wil go to the museum I believe and some to Valley Gold.

    That is good to hear. As you know two Trust board members were at the recent clean up at the Museum and one took a lot of photos that could be used as part of an article.

    We've tried to keep in it quiet but yes we do.

    Should be a must see for all players and new signings. Show them the history of the club and the fans involvement. I remember Curbs always saying he used to explain it and show the vid (didn't Paulo Di Canio specifically mention?), sadly with none of the old guard around any more this has probably fallen away.

    If I was a player I think I would be interested.

    Clive Harris (who posts on here as SG3 to SE7) and who is also a Museum Trustee has already started giving talks to new intakes of youth players about the history of the club and what Charlton Athletic means.

    He also took a party of Academy players to the Western Front and the Menin Gate a few months ago

    One of those academy players was Karlan Aherne-Grant so at least one player knows.

    We've been talking about it for a while and he's keen but it's finding a slot.

    A few of us got a short tour in Belgium around the Stayen Cup and he's very good.

    A sneak preview of the Museum which will be open to fans in December.
    Been down with the other trustees, and helpers/supporters. It is looking good, and hopefully all the hard work put in by the people involved will be something all supporters and the club will cherish. Last minute adjustments, A big thank you to all who have helped and supported this project, donated and lent there cherished objects, and given up there time.
