    Tried to pop up after the game but the steward in the fans bar told me the museum wasn’t open. For next time (pre game) how do I get there? Excited to learn more about our history. Thanks!

    I may have already asked and had this question answered (apologies if that's the case) will the old shirts be sold on here or via Ebay? There are a couple that i'm intrested in. Thanks.

    Thanks for clarifying, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

    We've splashed out some of that money @charltonnick raises from you on some pre-ww2 items.

    Post war handbooks and fairly easy to find, bar one, and the museum has a complete set.

    Pre-war handbooks are much rarer and hardly ever come up for sale so when we were offered a job lot of handbooks and magazines for £250 we bought them.

    Rarer still are these two Supporters' Club Gazettes from 1927.

    Personally, I never knew they existed.

    We've bought issues 2 and 3 which means we're missing issue 1!

    I don't know how many more there were after this one.

    These newsletters carry a lot of adverts for local firms as well as ads such as for a "football special" to Bournemouth

    Or you could go by coach using the firm that was still taking fans to away games into the 70s and 80s

    Mum, is that a January signing?

    Don’t be silly, darling, there’s no such thing. 
    It was a toss-up between that caption and this one so I thought I share this one, too.

    Look, darlings, a January signing.

    Oh, Mama, we know it's just Papa in his Charlton shirt.


    I’m not saying I was ITK but how right I was.

    Henry do we think this is issue 1 or a completely separate publication?

    I think that is an early attempt at get a newsletter off the ground.

    Reading issue 2 it mentions issue 1 as a very recent publication.

    Ever since reading of the auction at St. Elphins, I have thought that it would be prudent to remove for safe keeping all valuable or irreplaceable items in the Museum. 

    If trustees do not have sufficient space between them, I'm sure lifers would club together for the rental of secure storage - I would certainly be prepared to contribute.  Better safe than sorry.

    Following reports the trustees would like to make clear that the musuem, an independent registered charity, aims to protect and preserve the heritage of #cafc. We have, and will continue to, take all necessary steps to protect the items in our collection 1/2

    2/2 All of the museum's collection belongs to the museum or is on loan from fans. None of the collection belongs to the football club. We'd like to thank fans for their continuing support.

    Between 1921 and 1945 the maximum a player could earn was £8pw for the 37 weeks of the playing season and £6pw for the 15 weeks close season.

     Can we get a blue plaque on Mr Butler’s address?  Assuming it still exists, of course.

    Some more postcards we bought at auction.

    Signed 1920s postcards don't come cheap so we're very grateful for the money that has come in from donations and sales.

    One Who poster covers the cost of one postcard.
