CARD: protests will go ahead against Sheffield United (26/11/16) regardless of management situation

CARDCARD
edited November 2016 in General Charlton
There will be no suspension of protests at Charlton this weekend, regardless of the expected managerial change, the Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet (CARD) has confirmed.

CARD has major plans for Saturday’s home game against Sheffield United.

It is calling on its army of volunteers to make a special effort to turn out and Charlton fans in general to make clear they are not taken in by this latest instalment of Groundhog Day.

A spokesperson said: “This will be the seventh ‘fresh start’ the regime has declared in under three years, and this one comes with the pre-announced installation of a Duchatelet network spy on the coaching staff, Chris O’Loughlin.

“At this stage the man who nominally takes charge of the team is barely relevant. Duchatelet has clearly signalled his intention to carrying on interfering in playing matters, which is bound to undermine whoever he appoints sooner rather than later.

“We are resigned to the fact that whoever is appointed will be dismissed before very long and the whole cycle will start again. There is no reason for anyone to believe otherwise. Therefore, our focus remains on removing Duchatelet and his puppets.”

Previously, CARD has interrupted four matches at The Valley just after kick-off. The team has gone on to win three of them – against Middlesbrough and Birmingham City last season and Coventry City in October. Charlton were already relegated when they took on promotion-chasing Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth, last April.

CARD's matchday activity was suspended at the start of the season to allow the new management team and squad an opportunity to show things had changed, but no similar luxury will be afforded former MK Dons boss Karl Robinson, who is set to become the latest to take the ejector seat at The Valley.

The spokesperson said: “Despite all the warm words from chief executive Katrien Meire when Russell Slade was appointed during the summer, repeated to a national radio audience less than a month ago, the regime’s true colours still come shining through.

“Whether it’s the unqualified Thomas Driesen scouting players by computer, the network stooge Chris O’Loughlin being placed at the training ground to report back to Belgium or pressure from Duchatelet himself, the manager will always be undermined. Nothing has changed and nothing will change while the club is owned and run by these people.”

Last week, CARD took its protests to Belgium using a London taxi in a special Charlton protest livery and it plans further activity away from matchdays to embarrass Duchatelet and Meire among their peers.

Fans able to help CARD for an hour or so before the game on Saturday are urged to email charlton.card@yahoo.co.uk.

    Red balls and white balls. Red balls thrown first, as soon as they're cleared and the game restarts, the white ones are thrown.

    If anything is being thrown on the pitch could it be staggered. 3 or 4 hold ups to the game will have far more impact than one 90 second one. Not a criticism of CARD in any way, just saying like.

    The problem is that you ask sime fans to hold back their items for ten minutes but as soon as the first lot are thrown everybody throws and then yen minutes later you are left with only a few thrown and it dilutes the intended effect.

    East stand at 3.15, North Stand at 3.30 and the West Stand at 4.15? But as you say Large I doubt it would work.

    Yeah let's have 3 or 4 hold ups.Lets see if we can get a Points deduction.FFS.I want the regime out as well - but the team comes first .Great job what CARD did in Belgium and more of the same really brings it home to him.Stopping a game he probably is not watching won't!

    I would not be against a points deduction. I suspect after a couple of wins on the bounce you are dreaming of promotion? I will tell you now if the current owners achieve promotion they will be so far up themselves and keen to tell us "told you so" they will be here forever and you will never get rid of them.

    Any success under the current regime will strengthen their hand and weaken ours.
    Grow up, the only chance you've got of getting new owners is in the Championship. Oh! by the way, they hold all the cards. Pun intended.

    I'm sorry I am as anti regime as the next person but really think we have done the throwing stuff on the pitch to death

    If CARD are going to organise another "throwing stuff on the pitch protest". they are hardly likely to advertise it on here as it will just alert the security people.

    I suspect something much more interesting is in store....

    And I'm not in the know!

    I think Card have got this spot on. I don't identify with this regime as the Charlton I have supported since the 80s. I feel it is totally irrelevant who is manger, who we are playing, or whether it is the unveiling of a new Roland puppet. Protest. Protest hard. Never give up. They will go. We will win.

    Too right

    100% I categorically do not want the club to achieve any success under this regime and would still take another relegation if it meant them leaving.
    My attitude as well.

    Poor form if it turns out to be Robinson's first game. He surely deserves a chance to have an uninterrupted crack at it.

    He's essentially asked for the protests to be stopped during the game. Crack on with pre/post match protests and targeting the Belgians personally but when the game starts turn it in.

    Has he? He hasn't even been appointed yet.

    Not necessarily. What if we dropped into league 2 and he decided he's losing so much money he'll cut his losses and sell?

    And on i don't want us relegated again, i'm just putting a different opinion across.

    According to Sky sources if appointed he will be in the stand and Nugent will be in charge so just like Luzon at the Watford 0-5 hammering, whatever the result it won't be down to Robinson.
