Are the people who are '100% in' the same people who were 100% in last time there was action on this which didn't make it passed the second meeting. Words < Action
Wrong. It did make it past the second meeting.
And does it matter?
Actions do indeed mean more than words so lets see who turns up before having a dig at them.
No recriminations pls. Positivity required from all
There are many different reasons why this time is different DRF but we need to not have the complacency we had last time and not look to people's motives to react last time there was unfair criticism aimed at some for their motives
Ok i will say this hopefully for the last time but i will keep saying it
With the greatest respect. Please do not leave negative comments here, or turn up and do same, this is going to happen, those who just want to bitch and moan should leave well alone.

Just my opinion but I would have thought the reasons for doing it before were much stronger. The football was poor and getting ever worse. We were really at risk of going out of business and our owner had said he had no more money to invest and was actively seeking to sell.
This time on the pitch WE ARE CHAMPIONS our owners have said they are funding for the future, they have invested in the youth set up, backed the manager and spent on the team.
The only real risk is in rumours. Once the season starts we will know if there was any truth in the rumours and any reason to worry.

Yes, leave egos at the door, we aim to put in place a conduit for positive future action(s), not a forum for self aggrandisement.
Walking distance from New Eltham station, if you go along Footscray Road in the direction of Eltham (in the direction of the B&Q but nowhere near that far).
160, 162, 321, 286 all go that way, and we are around the corner from Sparrows Lane.
Car park off Brentwood Close, which is to the left of the pub, leads to area behind the pub.
When you get there, simply ask around about the "Charlton" meeting. Alternatively, wear your Charlton Life badge!
Of course, two days is a long time in football, and when we meet the landscape may be completely different, but as Prague Addick says, even if we set up a "sleeping" Supporters' Trust, it will be available to be woken by the kiss of a future crisis prince.
Beehive was my local for many years....had my first illegal pint in there and used to play football for them in a very successful team....was also my old man's second home!!! Pity I cant make it, would take me back to the 70's when I used to be more in the pub than out!!
It goes without saying that you have my total support .
Unfortunately, I am unlikely to make Tues evening's meeting but will do so if I possibly can.
I shall look forward to hearing what occurs and to helping in any way I am able to in the future, especially in an admin capacity and in contributing to funds.
Making the aim to buy/preserve The Valley, and that The Valley should always be a home for Charlton Athletic Football Club to play in. Convincing argument Seth....... Putting it like that, I do not have an alternative...... So I will come along with my 'tenner'. Beehive pub yes......
I cannot only support from afar, so can't make the meeting - but if there is any way to help in a more concrete fashion, let me know and I'll do all I can.
I have been looking at the Swansea City Trust website, very informative, suggest everybody takes a look, especially at the early minutes and early accounts. I remain impressed, and at the moment they have about £200,000 in their account.
Registering as a charity would allow us to set up a just giving page would it not ? Might be the easiest and most tax efficient way of collecting money ?
I know absolutely nothing regarding finances and accounts and stuff, but I think you register as a 'friendly society' whatever that is, is that a charity?
