Can only be great news. If The Valley is going to be sold on terms that the supporters disagree with, then it gives 6 months to try & do something about it.
If The Valley is to be sold & the supporters are ok with the arrangements, then the ACV won't hold back a sale.
and who are 'the supporters' will it be all, or a clique?

The Trust should be representing all supporters.
However, a good question.
If a takeover goes ahead & a move from The Valley is proposed.
How do the Trust decide whether to oppose the move or not ?
a poll of season ticket holders or those attending a particular match would be a better way of ensuring fans views are heard, the latter should also lead to a few extra quid in the coffers for said game.

Trust ?
One step at a time perhaps? The priority was to secure the ACV which the Trust, against the odds IMO, have succeeded in doing. Let them draw some breath, have a few drinks, watch a game of football tomorrow and then they can deal with the other issues. In the meantime, as a suggestion, it might be worthwhile for you to draft a question and send it to the Trust

Agreed, let them draw breath (I am a trust member). Mind you as they started this thread, I don't think there's a need to send them a question.

The question is:
How will the trust (if it was within their gift? is it?) reach a decision on a potential move to the Peninsular (or Senegal Fields etc) if and when the decision needs to be taken. Who will be deemed suitable to decide on such a critical issue?
Not being an expert on the subject of ACV, could someone please explain to me how The Valley would be valued as of a result of ACV coming into effect? Would potential profitability due to change of use, ie from a football stadium to housing be taken into consideration when arriving at this sum?
Well done to the trust and all that sailed with her! Not sure if it is a decision against the odds, but good news. My understanding is that this does not prevent a move but means that we cannot arrive at a game and be told in two weeks we are moving. Instead there is a period of consultation after which the club is still able to move but we could also persuade the club of alternative options.
A great result and a great journey too-discussing the Valley with hundreds of fans at the Trust stall outside the North Stand on matchdays...and wondering how to play things if there were further delays in the process.
It's a fantastic way to bring to a close the first year of the Trust which now has 4,000 fan contacts as a result of this campaign and the work last season. For out of the 1,900 on the e-petition many were new to us and want to stay in touch. So what next? Well thats for the Trust board to discuss and launch the next set of activities.
The CAS Trust's application (to Royal Borough of Greenwich) to have The Valley listed as as 'Asset of Community Value' (ACV) was made under a relatively new piece of legislation called The Localism Act. That ACV status for The Valley has been granted by the Council is good for Charlton supporters for, should the ground's owners seek to the sell the ground, it affords us a period of preparation in which to determine our position. We would be consulted and would have to come to a decision about what we should do. Whether the club stays at The Valley, or leaves for pastures new, only time will tell. The CAS Trust is working to see that Charlton fans are represented and have influence. Working with 'Supporters Direct', the national federation of football supporters' Trusts, the CAS Trust seeks to be an active, mutual band of brothers and sisters working for positive change in football.

ACV does not in any way put a decision on a move in the hands of the Trust. Why did you think it does?
