    Probably worth mentioning that this is nothing new. The club has done this pretty much every summer for a number of years.

    It's the perception though, Ollie.

    No cashflow problem. Just a refusal of the half billionaire to spend the money required for a medium size professional football club.

    Good point, and thanks for joining in the conversation Olly. I've noticed this the past few years and it's always felt a bit strange. That said, I work in Government contracting and can appreciate how nice it can be to have "non-appropriated funds" (funds that don't come directly out of a budget, and which give you a bit more freedom).

    Just went on Amazon and it looks like the high end GoPros are around $500 (which means they're probably 500 quid because that's how technology works apparently). I'd be lying if I didn't say the whole thing feels a bit odd.

    All of that said, I would like to take the opportunity to add that I've really, really appreciated the leap in the quality of content outputs (GoPro's, streaming Youth Games, etc.) over the last couple years. As someone whose lucky to get to matches once or twice a year, I really appreciate anything and everything I can get. Sorry this message had to be muddled amongst all the other stuff.

    When you don't have a manager, you've just been relegated and the club is selling old sweat bands on eBay. #COYR

    Remember some great goals and other contributions but yeah "lazy".

    Would take a Fuller in our side now like a shot. Class player even at the tail end of his career. Played with a dislocating shoulder but yeah "lazy"

    It may be me, but I find it weird that the club is putting things on ebay to sell for, and I quote: for much-needed equipment for Charlton's media team ahead of the 2016/17 season

    Is our plummet into non-league football going to be so quick that they need state-of-the-art equipment to document it?

    Also, doesn't Uncle Roly own an electronics conglomerate? Surely he could pick up 'much-needed equipment' through either his own business or through a partner without the hassle of the equivalent of a boot sale?

    I would bid on something but I don't want to collect it, I don't want to go back there until they are gone.

    It's a shame Olly didn't put Carol 's note to Jacko or the signed laundry basket up for sale on eBay. Maybe next time when we need a few bob for a football or some halftime oranges.

    No takers yet for Roger Johnson, still I think 50p is a bit steep.

    Slightly off topic but does anyone know how long on average a player will wear boots for? One game, half a season, a season?

    Depends on usage. Some of our players in recent years could have a pair of boots see them out into the next world.

    I suppose the club may as well sell Kermorgant's boots on eBay after they auctioned off the rest of him

    Someone ought to tell them that the media interest in League One is, er, minimal. The media are only likely to turn up in expectation of another protest, so assume the 'much-needed equipment' includes blindfolds, helmets and We Love Katrien t-shirts.

    Does anyone know if the laundry basket Fraeye hid in is going up for sale? I would pay good money for that.

    I think we used to moan about this long back in the day when things were good. Been doing it for years.

    Yes - if you take a look at the latest accounts that were filed a couple of months ago there's a line "random shite we flogged on eBay"
