    They do some stuff just right don't they. CACT that is. Although the club are to be praised as well.
    Pity I'm away for the match though.

    They will have to go some to compete with the club's own scheme - donate a ticket and get an afternoon shopping with the missus.

    Argghhhh thats annoying... Have just got rid of my old winter coat (threw it for the bin men about a month ago).

    Would happily have donated it to CACT for this, dont need a ticket because of my S/T

    If you haven't got one to spare, drop in at your local charity shop and get one for a couple of quid the you'll be helping twice and getting tkt cheap anyway.

    I thought this was some reference to paint and a celebration of Matt Tees scoring - a Matt finish you might say.

    I'll get my coat

    I'm sure the club will also donate some coats to the cause. Especially with the ones with the following initials on

    CP
    JR
    BP
    GL
    KF
    RS

    Is it a coat or a tent?

    Just going through my list of "Not approved by CharltonLifers" Clothing to see if I have any coats that I can no longer wear only to find a Le Coq Sportif managers coat, I've put it in the unsure pile until someone can confirm old people can wear said items ;)

    Lucky you realised Dave. Imagine your embarrassment if you had turned up at The Valley with your unwanted goat.

    The museum wants those.

    Got about 50 coats in the museum we don't want and that could be donated.

    The club has a few coats to donate, but they already have several sets of different intitials on the front.

    Nice gesture from the Club to support the Community Trusts initiative.
    Praise where it's due.

    Four coats donated today for a great cause and received four free tickets in the east stand. Can now attend the Valley and not a penny donated to the regime!

    "Recent research shows that more than 1.2 million people over 60 in the UK agree that having a warm coat is a good thing during that period."

    Who the hell researches that? I think it's a good thing to have a fresh supply of toilet paper in the bathroom and I don't need 1.2 million OAPs to tell me that.

    So as pensioners make up 1/6 of the population that's about 8.8 million OAP's who don't think having a warm coat is a good idea? No wonder that so many of the poor old devils suffer from hypothermia every winter.

    You just got to love statistics or bullshit as it's more commonly called.
