Charlton Museum Poll

Haven’t managed to go, would love to go. Agree with Forever Addickted response from the beginning. If there’s a chance for me to make it one time, I would definitely go 

Is it just inconvenient to open it nearer kick off for the staff or are there other reasons ??

The museum is in the Covered End. Once the turnstiles are open we have to close for security reasons.  We'd happily stay open closer to kick off but can't because of the location. Great space, poor access.

I see there are currently 12 votes saying they aren’t interested.
How absolutely weird......assuming  you are all Addicks, how could you possibly not be interested in the history of the club you support......it’s just unbelievable?
Very strange and I am of the firm opinion that there is a bit of ridiculous personal point scoring stuff going on from within some of those votes......a few of you need to grow up.

I don't see it like that.

Not everyone is interested in museums or history.

It's only 5% which means 95% are interested in someway.  That's a pretty high number.

It's an anonymous poll. Not really bothered if some of it is personal point scoring, that's not really our concern, even if it is true.

We wanted to know why people weren't coming and now we have some more information to build on and use when applying for funding and in other ways.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

I agree entirely that it’s a worthwhile exercise and will have helped a great deal in moving forward.
Sorry if I introduced an opinion that was perhaps a bit out of kilter with the spirit of the thread....I now regret having mentioned it, but someone who is an Addick saying they aren’t interested in the museum is for me a bizarre notion to accept.

Might have been Katrien....

so at 250 votes which is a significant number

32% have visited of whom 96.25% enjoyed their visit and 3.75% thought "Meh".   There were lots of positive comments from those who have visited.  

Of the 68% who haven't visited 91% would like to and 9% aren't really interested.

Most common reason given for not attending was the inconvenience of the opening hours with living a long way from the other being the other main reason.  

Thanks again for your votes and comments.  It's given us a lot of ideas and food for thought.

@Henry Irving :   For me, and maybe others, the two principle reasons you quote for C are linked.

I no longer live in south east England, and also do not have relatives in the area who I regularly visit.  This means I am not likely to be around when the Museum is open on a Friday.

If I were attending matches, it would involve a very early start to get there for the pre-match Saturday opening, followed by kicking my heels for longer than I would wish before the match starts. 

Certainly during April - September, when it does not get dark early, I would find it more convenient to visit the Museum if it opened straight after the match, and there may be others of that mind, especially those with children.

This............... but only 3240 miles for me.
