Valley Gold

Who now benefits from the Valley Gold money now? Our club producing exciting players for the future or the Belgian who gets a subsidised academy to produce players for Liege or for him to sell for his personal benefit?

    for fuck sake just chill out, he said in the interview something along the lines of maybe if the players want to play in the champions league and get experience we can offer that at standard, but it must be the players decision.

    'THE PLAYERS DECISION' IF THEY DONT WANT TO GO THEY DONT HAVE TO! IBRAHIMA CISSE AND DUDU BITON WERE TOLD BY ROLAND TO COME HERE BUT THEY SAID NO.

    the players would get sold regardless of who was in charge, if someone comes in and offers the reported 5mil for cousins then yes we will sell, players going to everton, chelsea, arsenal. Whats the difference with going to liege, apart from the added bonus that if it doesnt work out they can come back.

    have a word with yourself will you
  • Stop telling people to chill out Adam when you are being angry in the manner you approach it, the clubs core fan base has been split down the middl due to this guy and we know why. I won't be renewing my VG as this guy doesn't need my money, he has his own and is doing his own stuff.
  • Might renew my season ticket. Definitely won't renew Valley Gold. Duchatelet can fund the Academy from his deep pockets.

    because every post is the same from you, just have an open mind and if we do go down without a fight then complain away
  • WILL CANCEL VALLEY GOLD HELD SINCE FIRST DAY IN 1989
  • I think you have to go a long way before RD is making much money out of our club.
  • Actually think it is an interesting question.
    My VG card is paid up to the end of June [I think] but, If ,RD has this plan of using us as a feeder club then will our money be that beneficial to help the youngsters ?
    Obviously, funds permitting, I shall re-new, but am glad I have a few months to see what happens. If I was paying monthly I really don't know if I would cancel my D/D.
  • @kentred2 - I think thats a very valid question. Is VG going to subsidise new and upcoming players or is it going to line RD's pockets? Clearly when VG was set up the financial and club situation was very different from now.

    @AdamAddick - I understand where you are coming from and I agree with you that it doesn't matter who the owner is in terms of where the money goes, but I think you were a bit harsh with the chill out comment. CAFC is on a huge journey into the unknown and we all have to get used to changes - whether we like it or not! Being shitty with one another on here is not going to help anyone.

    The difference is Charlton get the £5m in the old scenario. If they go to SL we get a reserve to replace them in the new model.
  • Very good question
  • Sponsored links:


  • I agree also its an important question
  • Peter Varney just won £750
  • Ha yep noticed that
  • Money goes to money
  • If Peters put his money in , then he has as much a right to win as everyone else , good luck to him , he's put a lot into the club over the years , is incredibly generous, and will probably even donate his winnings to the Charlton upbeats or the Charlton musuem :-0, if Richard Murray or Katrien win the one i might ask questions about the draw!
  • As it's not clear from the above, are the Valley Gold contributions "ring fenced" in any way and are there accounts to show exactly how the money is distributed?

    Never sought to ask these questions previously but, as someone who has been in from the start and who doesn't expect to get any return on my investment (good job too!), it would be good to know that there is some sort of security and transparency too.
