    We're in the upstairs room accessed via the stairs on the left before you reach the downstairs bar. 

    There is a slightly smaller upstairs bar as well.

    We do a voluntary collection at half time which pays for the room hire & excess goes to things like player shirt sponsorship or charity.

    Great guest, think the lad could have a career in TV when he retires 

    Good turn out too, about 75 there.

    Thanks to everyone who came along.

    Excellent evening at Bromley Supporters Club with Scott. Really interesting and varied discussion, especially about Charlton TV.

    I asked for that :) - what does the "3" mean?

    look forward to your scribble in due course - thanks

    Not sure why the "3" appeared, a ghost in the machine.
  • Charlton TV is only guaranteed until the end of August , but Scott is obviously hoping that the new owners will continue with it. He can see that player recruitment is the number one priority and that decisions on other matters must wait their turn.

    I don't suppose anyone asked (or already knows) what the annual cost of it is? 

    I'd want to suggest to the new guys that they give it the season and look at how they can make the most of it financially. If they axe it, and then the Saturday blackout thing falls apart in a season or two, as I expect, they may kick themselves, especially as Scott may have moved on to something else and couldn't return.

    He's a class act all round.

    They'll sell him to Chelsea TV. What's Paul Sturgess doing these days?

    If CATV match purchase price doubled would take up be the same? I think it is a great service, probably the best league club TV offering out there, but to make sense perhaps the new owners will need to be persuaded to keep it. If it has been break even or marginal loss overall, doubling the income would be attractive, but if fans would not be interested at that price, what would be the point? If fans would pay £20 rather than £10 to watch at home, maybe we need the Trust or a n other group do a Methven through a survey which signals we’ll pay more to keep our CATV. For away games I cannot get to I would pay more than I currently do for sure. 

    Btw, before anybody scoffs at the thought of CATV having been run at a marginal loss, we are talking about a previous owner that believed he could fill the Valley every home game and I believe saw CATV as a great advert for attending games rather than a cheaper alternative to catching games. Thinking was warped beyond belief as we all know..

    Amazingly, someone there did actually think to ask that question.

    He didn't know the costs or what the profit or loss figures are but accepted that it is difficult to attract new viewers when we are playing in league 1.

    SM did suggest that sponsorship might be a solution although he didn't say if that has or hasn't been taken any further.

    I have already paid my annual subscription for the next 12 months, guess I should have checked the proposed content before paying.
