The club announces this morning that Dave Lockwood has been appointed as the Matchday Announcer.

General manager Dave Archer said, “When completed, the new £5m main stand will have a new state-of-the-art PA system and we want to upgrade the matchday entertainment programme to coincide with this. Dave has performed the same role for Charlton for 24 years and is the consummate professional.

“Having recently left his former employer we wasted no time in bringing him to the club and I am sure he will be a popular matchday addition as we look to develop our offer to fans and introduce an entertainment programme that will encourage you to get to matches a little earlier.

“Graham McQueen has done a great job over many years and on behalf of everyone at the Fleet, I would like to thank him for his contribution – and hopefully he can now relax and watch the matches with wife Jessica who is an Associate Director of the club.”
