2014/15 Season Highlights DVD

I rang the club to enquire about this today, as there's been no reference to it on CAFC website. A group of us like to watch the DVD of the previous season over a few jars in order to work ourselves into a frenzy, alternatively, a modicum of excitement and anticipation ahead of the big kick off. Thus it has been since 1987 and the days of 'Finches Sports', recorders of weddings, birthdays, barmitzvahs and Charlton Athletic home games at Selhurst Park.
Alas, it transpires that the company who put together last year's DVD have gone bust and the club are looking for a replacement. Accordingly, there is no scheduled release date - assuming it eventually happens. I really hope it does, as, apart from the fact that we scored some cracking goals last season and other highlights, such as the emergence of Joe Gomez, it would be a real shame to break the sequence. I recall that, following our dismal relegation season from the Championship when money was extremely tight, Airman and the club had to work very hard to secure a minimum number of subscribers before proceeding with production of the DVD but eventually it got done. I'm sure people at the club will do what they can to get last season's version into production and on the shelves.

Funny you should post this now - I was only thinking myself that I hadn't seen anything about the club issuing a DVD of last season's goals.
Unlike you, I've a horrible feeling that we won't get one. Just have this feeling that those at the club who decide upon these matters no longer have the Charlton connection that people like Airman does and probably don't see any great need to safeguard the club's history by producing such a DVD. Throw in the fact that it probably is not in revenue terms a great earner for the club and it's only too easy to see that they won't bother.
However, I will be personally very sad if they don't as these DVDs provide a great record of the club.

Don't know who you spoke to, but we've already had two drafts of the DVD through to look at and will be finalising it in the coming days.
We'll have news on the OS of a release date very soon.7 -

Thanks, Olly - that's excellent news. I was put through to someone in the commercial department or club shop who obviously wasn't aware of the current state of play. I look forward to seeing the DVD once it hits the shelves.1

There must be some amazing special effects based on how long it's taken. Is Jar Jar Binks going to be playing centre half instead of Bikey and, maybe, C3PO for Simon Church?Ollywozere said:Don't know who you spoke to, but we've already had two drafts of the DVD through to look at and will be finalising it in the coming days.

Or was the person signing it off one of the old duffers that KM very cleverly sacked?1 -
It's simply not as important a revenue stream as saving teabags. And anyway it's tradition and The new lot likes to wipe their bum all over that.0

Received news yesterday afternoon that we should expect delivery on Monday.
All being well, you should be able to get your hands on a copy by this time next week.
