    The seats were rescued from the old main stand at the Valley and were stored in pieces until last year

    Now on display in the museum.

    I was at the great Valley clear up and remember thinking at the time that we were all strangely happy whilst lobbing bits of our history onto a huge bonfire. Great that some survived and now everyone that was too young to have been to the "old Valley" can see how luxurious the place was. Does anyone have an original urinal tucked away anywhere?

    also got a lot of new cabinets which we now have to unwrap, clean, move into place, lay out the exhibits and label them but @SE7toSG3, @killerjerrylee and @cafc999 have said they will do all that ; - )

    Also saw a new signing at the Valley. Not very mobile but tall

    Whilst hoping to avoid being labelled a sycophant, it has to be said that you, Ben, and the other volunteers/helpers have been and are doing a fantastic job at the museum.

    Thanks but as you say not just me. Mick Everett is the real driving force behind the museum and without him it wouldn't exist, simple as that.

    And there are so many people, and not all of them fans, who've helped with loans, donations of items, donations of many, practical help etc.

    Even today we got a new manikin thanks to @AFKABartram who is normally such a miserable sod but even he helped us.

    Totally agree with bobmonro, it's looking brilliant up there

    It may be tough being an addick right now but we are a great club with a great history, when you see it and can touch it and reminis of better times you remind yourself that, these clowns will be gone soon enough

    We have loved supporting it and will continue to do so whenever asked,

    Well done those involved and please please please get lighter bits next abd possibly smaller

    Sorry about the heavy cabinets @nth london addick I just said "I've have that one, that one and two of those". If that lazy Hammer @uncle had been there instead of skiving off we'd have got it all done in no time.

    As for the museum it's taken time but we're getting there.

    Can you please move those dirty cabinets out of the way as soon as possible?

    They're obscuring the view of one of the prime exhibits.

    I think all new players should be made to go and visit the museum and also watch a back to The Valley DVD while there or whichever one it was Curbs would always show to new players.

    Been up there a couple of times now, excellent work all involved.

    We've been told of a cache of match worn and one off shirts rediscovered in a loft in Kent that is coming our way so we need those mannequins

    Apologies, we didn't know until we were out there and saw the brand-spanking new red and white nets!
    I'll ask the groundstaff on the off-chance the old ones haven't been chucked yet.
