After being a season ticket since at least since about 1987 that's it. That is me no more. I am finished. I am not prepared to pay anymore of my hard earned cashed to this owner.
I don't think it's fair to dismiss an upset fan so easily. By the same token, I'm not sure these threads are helpful so soon after a defeat. It adds fuel to the "people are overreacting to a run of bad results" fire.
On paper, fair enough - get players in cheaply, build them up, move them on at a profit, repeat. However, surely you need to invest in decent scouting and coaching to make this work?
It seems that the majority of players he has sent us are not going to gain any value as they cannot effectively compete. A team on the slide is not a good shop window. This seems more like an exercise in moving assets offshore as opposed to actually generating any profit.
Rudders is someone you would have seen EVERYWHERE following Charlton through rain or shine over the years. I doubt there are no more than a handful on here that would match his travels over the years.
This is what i don't think a lot of people are grasping, this is now starting to eat into 'die hards' a lot more than is obvious.
So what is the result of all the player shenanigans, and the head coach malarkey since we joined the network? That our support is expected whatever the results? I am Guy Luzon's blood brother, I like to win and I don't like to lose, and I expect this much wiser than me network to deliver wins. FFS, hoping for better than this is beginning to feel as wrong as Oliver Twist asking for a second bowl of gruel in the eyes of some fans here, and some fans are speaking like Mr Bumble's minions if we dare be unhappy with a sodding defeat.

So you attended all those home games at Selhurst Park contributing to the saviour of our club, and now you are prepared to give all that up because we lost an away game today?
Did you decide that on the strength of today's performance?
Just for the record, I meant this as a genuine question not to be sarky. I can't say I'm comfortable with the "bye" and "see ya" remarks that others have made as if it's something funny. I think it's sad that people don't want to go.

If you think it's just over an away game today then you haven't been paying attention
While I'd never start a thread about no longer going to games, even if that was a decision I had made (which it isn't), I can see why so many are disillusioned. For me, it's not even that we're losing. People don't support Charlton because they expect us to win every week - that's not what we do.
People support Charlton because it's their local a team, a club we all have close ties with, and a club whose existence was secured in the most unorthodox way by thousands of fans who fought so hard to make it happen.
What we have now is not Charlton. It's one person's play thing, an experiment. I don't recognise my own club any more. I can deal with getting beaten most weeks as long as the players give their all. I struggle to deal with watching the club I've followed for more than two decades transform into a soulless, poisonous outfit with familiar faces seemingly departing on a near-weekly basis. F off Roland, and take your CEO with you. Both hopelessly out of their depth. And people thought Bob was the problem!

People like Rudders have no doubt seen countless defeats. But they had an affinity with the club and felt part of it.

Up to u rudders don't blame u , U av paid your money over the years following the team u love, good times and bad ,the way I see it is this , like many other fans results ain't a problem its the way the club is being run , ie a chairman who couldn't give a flying fuck wot the fans want , this club has always had honesty and I feel like yourself this has gone , so I don't blame u fair play given up something u love and have had an affinity with for years must be hard.

Yea I was and help buy Ronnie Moore. But this club is dying in front of our eyes as Pompey has...and when genuine loyal fans who have followed the club for decades through thick and thin the penny has got to drop rather than silly school boy comments. My dad has been going 65 years and has said over the last few weeks no more. This club has no identity anymore.The board aren't in touch with the league and fans

Bye then, threads like this are beginning to piss me off

Not sure which straw broke this camels back! Immediate reports don't sound that disheartening...
Just curious as I'm not sure if I need to create my own thread to state I'm gonna continue attending simply to give the players my support?
"We only support when we're winning, support when we're winning"
We fought hard and had some passion, then why didn't we win?

Either way, it's not entertainment

How come other teams have better players than us?

Duchatalet is tearing that up.
