For Fans Considering/Have Given up on Charlton!
Now I've been a Charlton fan for 10years , understandably that is nothing compared to many of our fan base so I accept any criticism from those people who have been supporters a while , those who got us back to the valley etc and those people only... But , if you don't want to or refuse to support Charlton in what people are classing as 'dark days' then I personally prefer you left!
If you give up on your team due to some bloke from Belgium and refuse to support the players and staff ,then in my opinion you don't deserve the 'good days' that will come!
Is the appointment of Guy Luzon really near as bad as the financial difficulties and bankruptcy of the past and then not having a ground to call home then don't expect a welcome when you suddenly turn up if and when we are in our good days!
I've seen so many so called fans posting on twitter, facebook and other mediums that they aren't going to Charlton until RD is out , or until Luzon is out , or even until we have our Charlton Back - i'm just glad that it wasn't those of you who were around when The Valley was taken away from us , or when the Charlton fans dug deep into their pocket to sign the club Ronnie Moore!
Lets all get behind the club , the team , the players and the manager whoever they might be because we all support CHARLTON ATHLETIC FC .. not whoever is the flavour of the month at charlton or whatever
COYR!

I'll never give up on Charlton, but I wont give another penny to this regime.5

Don't tell me how to be a fan. I could reel off a load badge of honours, ticks etc, from relegation seasons and League One, all here now kept going through that period. We play in white, live off cast offs from a mediocre team in a second rate league, have treated loyal players like crap, and now have a coach who is a certified yes man. It's not the same club I or many others grew up with and I don't blame anyone for not wanting to hand their hard earned money over to Roland or the f'n 'network'.24

The thing that's shocked me is some of the paddys shown by what I presume are fully grown men. Be pissed off, I understand that, fans have been lied too. But the over reaction, especially on Twitter has been pretty embarrassing.9

But then, Is the premier league days club the same as the one that people grew up with in the 60's ?RedPanda said:Don't tell me how to be a fan.

ridiculous reason for not supporting a club ... do you want/expect the kids who support Charlton now to get the hump and start giving up because we play hoof-ball under an English manager in the future or because we are struggling financially as RD left?0 -

Not saying you cant be pissed off with some decisions but what im saying is that those who are 'leaving' and jumping shit just because of a few reasons should just go and not make a song and dance about it!CharltonByBlood said:I have supportted for 40 years season been a season ticket holder for 15 years ..

I think its pretty worrying that some people are losing their identification with the club, not sure what the answer is but telling people how to think, what to do, tends not to work in my view
Football is more than a business, and its not just about glory particularly for Charlton, its an irrational attachment in many ways6 -
Precisely!colin1961 said:There not fans are they ......
Standing out side high court 15 mins till we lost Charlton Football Club ... Helping dig the valley on a wet sunday morning this is what makes a fan , managers, players, owners come and go Charlton will continue with proper fans behind it1 -
If you support charlton and love the club then you'd get behind whoever is incharge6

But what is there to identify with? For me its the Badge , the red shirt and the history/community we have as a club , not who plays upfront on a Saturday or who is making the decisions whether they be wrong or right!razil said:I think its pretty worrying that some people are losing their identification with the club, not sure what the answer is but telling people how to think, what to do, tends not to work in my view

No it's because I work hard for my money .. Why would I want to put it someone's pocket that I feel is not looking after the club I have supported 30 years longer then you and I have already put a lot of money into the clubsammy391 said:

Hi Katrien, welcome to Charlton Life.

That is fair enough and quite just , but are you considering 'dropping' Charlton because of a managerial appointment or because of who owns the club ? TBH I doubt you are , so please don't feel like this is aimed at you nor any other supporters in your boatCharltonByBlood said:

I think you should consider the reasons why people are saying these things rather than just dismissing as "so called fans" for having the audacity to question some of the things that are going on at our club.5

Its a good question isn't it, and I think people have different reasons, plus how do you define support?sammy391 said:

It could be on a scale - watching for results in the paper, watching tv highlights, going to the odd match, buying a season, following Charlton home and away, never missing a match

Whilst I respect the op's view I find it condescending and patronizing to tell fellow supporters what they should or should not do.
Rightly or wrongly if people are fed up the way the football club has been run over the last 12 months they are entitled to their opinion. If they don't wish to go anymore they are entitled to do that.

Personally I don't understand this attitude. I want people to support Charlton, but I want them to be happy supporting Charlton. It can be a bit of a slog at times, if people want to take a break and then come back later, then good luck to them. It's a football club, not The Moonies.sammy391 said:Please leave now ...

Yeh, whatever (as the yoof would say) I'm over them, sick of them, but whilst my wife and kids are enjoying themselves in Geneva for a short break, muggins here will be at Watford for the last game I'll see for a year. A win would be beyond my dreams, a goal, fantastic, but I know it will be another drab defeat with yet another sending off.1

@sammy391 (and others), you have no idea of what other peoples credentials are in their support so please don't call others so-called fans because they feel differently to you.
No British manager with any respect would touch our club in its present form. That should tell you something.14 -

There's a difference between being (quite rightly) annoyed at what is going on and walking away. Even if people think that getting rid of Peters was correct , there is nothing to suggest that this new guy will be any bettersammy391 said:Please leave now ...

People ave the right to respond and react in whatever way they feel. If they wish to withdraw their financial and emotional support then fair enough. Each to their own. We all invest different amounts of time, effort and sweat and tears into our football club. I understand and support any fan who feels they need to make a stand, even though I will continue to attend.
This is the worst many fans have felt in the past decade and beyond, not because of performances necessarily but because of the way RD operates. People don't want to be taken for fools or lied to. They want honesty, explanations and a relationship of trust.
We haven't got that and we are entitled to it.6 -
Personally, I couldn't give a toss what you'd personally prefer. Personally.3
