Send a Christmas Card to Katrien and Roland - Spell It Out in Black and White

Henry Irving

They won't be top of many Addicks' Christmas card list this year but read on.

Today, 6th December, is St Nicholas Day when in many parts of Europe, including Belgium, presents are exchanged to mark the saint's day of St Nicholas or Santa Claus as he's also known.

So in the season of goodwill to all men, and women, the Spell It Out in Black and White campaign are asking all fans to send our owner and CEO a Christmas card

We'd stress that we'd like you to be polite and not abusive, rude, sexist or xenophobic.

We'd like you to wish them a Merry Christmas or even a "Prettig Kerstmis" as they say in Dutch.

But we'd also like you to say what is concerning you about the way the club is being run and what action you might take or have taken.

If you are boycotting games please tell them. If you are planning to not renew your season tickets next year please tell them. If you won't be renewing sponsorships or are not buying food or programmes please tell them. If you are unhappy about management recruitment, communication or any other issue please tell them. Or even if you are quite happy with how they are running the club then feel free to say that too.

Also at the end of your message ask for a response. In accordance with the club's charter.

And can you send an actual physical card.

I know a lot of people send e-cards these days but we know emails are easy to delete. And we know the club doesn't respond to its emails either. It still hasn't published a list of its senior staff with their contact emails either so is still in breach of its own customer charter.

So take a few minutes and send a real card to:


Roland Duchâtelet
Staprix NV
Transportstraat 1
Tessenderlo, 3980
Belgium


Katrien Meire
Charlton Athletic
The Valley
Floyd Road
Charlton
SE7 8BL



Here's to a Merry Christmas and a happier new year to Charlton fans everywhere.

But don't put a stamp on it, so they have to pay postage.

Could photocopy a card (with robin?) to keep the black and white theme. but they'd probably stick it straight in the bin

Moonpig are doing half price if you order 5, so send 10 each for price of 5

They could claim that the royal mail lost a sack of post but no one would be as silly to use that as an excuse.

We don't want swearing or any rudeness as we said. Season of Good Will and all that.

Yup, don't give KM an excuse, she just needs one 'bad' card out of dozens to say she is being victimised again .

Here's a review on Moonpig extracted from Trust pilot: "I use moonpig quite regularly and I love it!! Never had any problems aside from delivery.... And that was royal mails fault!"

So, no problems with cards APART from delivery? Beyond parody as they say. Royal Mail's fault? Sounds familiar - does Roland own Moonpig?

With the amount of times the CEO uses the sexism card it appears he/she/IT must have plenty spare to go around.

strange response but yes thanks

Redskin

You asked if anyone had sent a card yet, and I simply asked if you had.
How that can be considered in any way a 'strange response' is strange in itself.

Stig

Here's a few options if anyone's interested:

Preprinted card stating "Fijne feestdagen en een gelukkig nieuwjaar!" - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Other merchandise featuring the same design, but without the words

Free copy of the original graphics file to do what you want with

Have chosen 2 cards from the IFAW freebies I received ....

Just have to figure out what I want to say then they'll be sent.

Sure you'll think of something FF

I suggest you clearly mark any post as "Private and Confidential" then it's much more likely to get to the desk of the intended recipient in a large organisation rather than just filtered out at the post room.

Always be polite and respectful!

It's a bit long winded but;

'Strictly Private and Confidential.
To be opened by Addressee only.'

works even better'

Done.

To save poor souls from Roland's power,
Which long time had gone astray.
