The museum will be open on New Years Day from 11 to 1.00 when we'll have the important task of taking this invaluable item from our display to the board room where the #cafc & #pusb directors will toast the King & football, as per tradition

We're also open on Fri 2 Jan 11 - 2.30

With our current injuries perhaps #cafc should give the players Crookes Halibut Oil. If it was good enough for Jimmy Seed's FA Cup Winners....

There is little we can say about Norman "Headphones Norm" Barker that hasn't already been said. Like every #cafc fan we are shocked and saddened by his passing

Norm was thrilled to be given his well deserved Supporter of the Year award by Nathan Jones in the museum this summer

RIP to a legend

Speak to anyone who runs a museum and they'll tell you storage space is their biggest problem.

Luckily, the Charlton Athletic Museum have volunteers who are handy with a saw and drill who can build us new shelving to house our ever growing archive. #cafc

Thanks to long time #cafc programme collector Paul Ellis for the loan of some of his rarities so we can scan them

We weren't even sure this wartime issue v Tunbridge Wells Rangers existed
