Charlton Museum Poll

There's some good stuff in there - well worth a look. Good also to meet Charlton fans.

That's no excuse....... 

Will make a point of having a look round next Saturday game I attend, look forward to it.

Opening times for me too, leave home at 11 and am just about getting off at charlton at 1 when it shuts. 

Maybe get a rattler that gets in at half 12?

C - I suppose I don’t know enough about it. Maybe there’s somewhere I should look online but my questions would be how big is it and how long to look around?

Could tell you the exact size but it's not huge.  About the size of a decent pub I guess.

How long it takes to look around depends but I'd say give yourself half an hour at least to see it all properly. 

Open 11 to 1.00 on Saturday matchdays and 11 to 2 on the first Friday of the month.

now that is something I didn't know. I was about to comment that the hours are generally an issue for me but there have been a few times where I probably could have gone but haven't seen a post about it opening until afterwards. that's a less relevant point now that I know the weekday opening isn't, as I thought, a bit random so I may be able to plan a visit

Until I visited I assumed it was a very small room with, perhaps, a dusty old cupboard. I was very very wrong. It’s a huge place with lots of different exhibits, video room etc etc. The people who run it are always helpful if there’s something you are particularly interested in. I would definitely recommend it.

What is the reason for not opening it closer to kick off or after the final whistle?

The staff are off rucking with the away fans

Could maybe get to Charlton before 1pm on a matchday but there's naff all to do and nowhere to go for 2 hours til the match kicks off, which means none of my matchday crowd will consider coming.

Same reason for me. I'd love to visit though.

C for me - I'm rarely at The Valley and timings wouldn't work but I will go one day - want to take the kids around...

Food and drink after perhaps.

Pub 

C - Opening hours

I really enjoyed my visit when I dragged the family there. @Henry Irvingwas kind enough to open it up for us despite it not being a usual day for the museum being open so they are very accommodating. 

It's not open at a convenient time for me.
