    Your museum needs a favour.

    Anyone got use of a van large enough to transport an item 7' x 3' from Eltham to the museum?

    Not that heavy but might need two people to manoeuvre it.

    If so, inbox us or email cafchistorian@gmail.com 

    Thanks in advance.
    Did you double check the dimensions? Mrs TT told me that I was exaggerating the size (again).
    Thought of you when I read this.
    How much did it cost you 5pound@TellyTubby

    I hope whatever it is is there by the 22/4 as I’m defo coming to see you 😃
    Promises, promises  :)
    Unless the plane is delayed, I’m going to be there early as Bruv is collecting me from the airport, going to feed him some brekkie & then I’ll be there 😃😎
  • We have it!

    Thanks to #cafc fan Phil Dunbar of PJD Builders for picking it up in his van although it wasn't as big a @TellyTubby, who has donated it, thought.

    Will be central to a new display we're working on.

    Not the best pic but here it is

    Nice bit of fencing, sure I recognise that, think it was the one I used to lean against.. ;)
    By the way, the wiring behind it looks a bit iffy...🙄

    Brings back happy but distant memories. I remember tying my satin scarf to that fencing each week, level with the covered end penalty area at the front of the east terrace. Look forward to seeing the new display.

    Yes @Lewis Coaches it cost me £5.

    It was cut from the front of the little terracing close to the old West Stand.

    Sorry I exaggerated @CharltonAthMuseum it seems that Mrs TT is correct as usual.

    You must have bloody long arms if it was located on the other side of the pitch by the West Stand.

    If you are in the right place at the right time it’s amazing what you can pick up.

    Good old days P.

    Should have kept it in your garden along with the turnstile . That was the 7x 3 the wife was on about.


  • There's a turnstile?

    I would talk to him next time you see him or better still try looking in the back of the van a bit better.

    I can honestly say that don't have and have never had a turnstile Mr @Lewis Coaches

    You are either a tease, or someone else needs tapping up

    @TellyTubby Look in the van a bit better thought that would give it away.
    It was a joke P not tapping anyone up.But I do know someone with an old Preston North End turnstile in the garden. He brought it when the ground was being rebuilt.  That’s True.

    Does anyone understand this conversation/joke?
    I've read it a few times and can't make any sense of it at all.
