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!
Do naive. The valley was won back partly by the thousands who boycotted Selhurst.
But was that not boycotting because it was seen as a radical way to get us back to the valley ? Not exactly the same as boycotting/not going because you dont like what is happening
So sammy391, what happens if someone doesn't boycott the club by not going, but when they do go and the team loses they feel like booing, jeering and heckling and venting their frustration, and proceed to boo, jeer and heckle?
Would you stop buying your favourite musicians music because they have just released an album you dont like...?
Firstly, that's a terrible analogy and secondly, yes, as it happens.
sammy ok, thanks for that. I never slag the team or players off during games, but as far as I'm concerned if we don't win more or less every game from now on they deserve all the slagging they get.
Nice to know I have guidance as to how to be a Charlton fan.
Does come in handy, Seth - although a big book with pictures in would be better I think. Quite enlightening to find out I've been doing it wrong all these long and wasted years!
Knew it would attract smart ass coments like your ... but youd completely 'abandon' your favourite band and what they might do in the future down to one album ? Wow

If my favourite band was forced by their record company to only work with sub-standard Belgian/Israeli musicians, then I would be tempted to abandon them until a new label was in charge.

Difficult for any comment not to look smart ass in comparison to the nonsense you're spouting.
Roland is destroying our club, so by supporting Roland you are supporting the destruction of our club. Have a think about that.

I've been going to the valley for 13 years of my life, born in 96. I've seen the club at the highest level and supported through the darkest times. I've travelled up and down the country supporting the club I love. I will certainly continue games to watch and support the players. The manager in my eyes is a non entity, I don't care about him nor the owner. We just need to stick together and support the team we all love.
This is the thing though - I want to support something that feels like Charlton Athletic FC, not a sports entertainment brand in the portfolio of Staypricks NV (or whatever the group is called).
I can't afford to invest in the club, so all I can do is buy tickets, half time pints, shirts, a garden gnome etc and hope this helps the club in some way. When it becomes clear that anything that goes in gets filtered away into a shadowy network and Dudu Dahan lets us borrow some donkeys in return, I can't help feeling that I'm being conned.

Twerps like you are the one unfortunate downside of freedom of speech.
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 ways

As there is so many , I trust youll find a 100% proven fact that RD is destroying our club and post it on here!
Well, one can walk away, or keep with it. I've done my bit for the club over the years, and have greatly enjoyed doing so. But good things do not last forever. I was sceptical of RD from the off, but gave him the benefit of the doubt last spring, and renewed my season ticket. And I have been fed up since October. Now this. A thorough recruitment process? I remain sceptical and shall see how things go with this new chap at the helm. And if the club continues to foul up and the first team gets relegated, I shall walk away. This is not the CAFC that I grew up with and, based on the current notwork model, it cannot be the thing what I want. But I'm not the owner, I'm a paying supporter, so what options do I have? I'll sit this one out, see where we end up, and appraise the situation. In the spring, they'll ask me for more money. I may well say 'no, not any more' and, if it comes to that, I'll take some comfort in that I know I won't be alone. Bon chance, Mr Luzon. And to the squad: If you have the heart, give it your all.

Some friendly advice - stop posting for a bit.
Some friendly advice - back up your statement/arguments
If it wasn't for my addiction to Charlton, I'd have given up my interest in football some time ago. I don't like the modern game, the play acting, the greed, all the stupid red cards, the lack of loyalty, so many things. I'm now hanging on by a thread and finding it increasing difficult to justify in my mind paying thousands of pounds every year to fly back only to witness more of the depressing same.
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 it
Who are you to say who is and isn't a fan, you're the biggest div I've ever come across
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...

I would say that is most probably a shorter time then pretty much everyone on this entire forum. I don't know if it's because you're ten years old or you decided to start supporting Charlton for some strange reason during a mid-life crisis. Either way you have no place to be telling people to 'please leave' when they are very, very rightly pissed off. I am still just 19 myself and my first game was in 1999, still a short time compared to most on here (granted not you), however this is quite possibly the most disconnected I have ever felt from my club throughout my whole time as a supporter. So christ knows what this must be like for those who helped us return to the valley or were there during the 40s,50s,60s etc. So please do not sit there during a time like this and tell those supporters who are rightly annoyed and have spent their life following this club to leave.
What right have you got to tell someone to shut up. The original poster is entitled to his/her opinion. I'm not kissed off, I was on Saturday and I have been since November.
In the last two months we've conceded lots of goals from final marking, way he'd a centre mid play left wing all year, a slow midfield duo who can't head, tackle or create and only one striker. A player stated unrest in the dressing room and we needed a change and have got it
Would Luzon have been my choice? No!!! Am I going to give him a chance? Yes.
If people don't want to go to games then that's their choice but I agree with the original post.....Cory!!!!
Give over you. Imagine questioning my right to tell someone to shut up and then calling me a cory at the end of your post.
Can someone post a picture of Dr Evil from the Austin Powers films as this seems to sum up how things are being run at the at Valley at the moment for me. Ta.

I remember back in the 70s when I was a kid - we'd all be standing on the crumbling east terrace with only a packet of roasted peanuts to sustain us and being called 'village idiots' by the Manager. It never occurred to me that I might withdraw my support. Perhaps the Manager was right.
