    If the club has been doing this for a number of years, it simply means that a number of years ago, someone made a poor decision, and no one has yet had the sense to reverse it. This should be the time to do so. Irrespective of the ownership under which this started, it comes across as a bit grubby. That isn't a criticism of the media team - if it's what has always happened, then they may not see how mildly ridiculous it is. It would be a sign of the club's willingness to listen if it were confirmed that the money raised on ebay will now be donated to an appropriate charity..it's never too late to start doing things differently.

    Ignore the last sentence, it can be too late if you are the current shareholder or CEO.

    I'm playing the long game and saving my dough for the time they put on a bed sheet on eBay with the word "Liar" and an arrow pointing in a downwards direction.

    They should pay for the one of those Polaroid cameras that the website boys require.

    So that's what was found left behind when Mandy cleared her desk. Must have been in charge of lost property as well as ticket sales.

    I can't imagine why the club would have reservations over sending anything out by post...

    Fair enough if it was for charity. Doing it to raise funds to buy equipment for staff to use demeans a club of Charlton's stature and is yet another indication that the senior management have no clue what they are doing. Or simply don't care.

    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

    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?
    Who do you think they're buying it from? Maybe Roland has reverse-mates rates and charges Charlton twice as much.

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

    Maybe - seem to remember most of it was for the benefit of Demelza and similar

    And in the current climate finding buyers will be fun, Olly might raise enough money for a couple of notepads and a box of Bic biros.

    Buyers can expect a deluge of opprobrium and brickbats for helping to prop up roly's sick pantomime

    Museum should have first crack at this stuff. Let someone who cares decide what to sell and what to keep. Donate collected funds to Upbeats.

    The press guys give a lot of stuff (they handed over a bag of replica shirts yesterday) to the museum.

    They also help out in other ways whenever they can.

    Two of the things that I most valued about our club are long gone, class and pride. Wondering when we'll get them back.

    I cannot believe RD is selling to stuff to just raise money like he is doing. The man needs to be stopped.

    I think he's flogging all this gear off to get a new pair of shoes.

    Three more player shirt sales and Katiren can attend the next 'Influencial women leaders' summit in Cleethorpes.
