I remember this getting a lot of publicity at the time when Man Utd fans done it, I think it cost about a thousand which I'm sure we could raise on here easy enough.
It would be good to do on the match we have football for a fiver as it will be almost a full house.
It gets the message across without attacking the players. Any other suggestions for the wording?

Edit: I do have a radio controlled helicopter. We can write a message on a hanky and hang it from the helicopter if that helps and I'll only charge £200 (as long as you supply the hanky)
What is the wrong one" bit about? If I was going to pay for a plane banner I'd at least need to feel that the very expensive words made some sense.
You do, however, touch upon an interesting point - we all have different skills and interests that outweigh that of the football club. If people could donate, realistically, one hour each, how many man hours could be put in to something a little different? We have more skills, numbers and talent than that employed by the club alone.
For example, there's a few ex-advertising agency bods here and so on who could probably knock together the basis of a simple social media campaign in a few hours, and there must be a few developers here who could knock something together in a similar time span. That's only one example, but think of an example per industry that is represented in our fan-base and potentially you could have a few projects kicking off at the same time creating a multi-pronged attack against what's going on at Charlton Athletic.
Such an onslaught of publicity vectors would undoubtedly cause the club a number of problems..
It might make you feel better, for a few moments.....
Of course you need people with certain skills and expertise, but what you need are people with passion and commitment, that can work together, to deliver some solutions. We can all be part of this, or are we all so terribly busy, and expect others to do it for them....... then moan about it!.
Didn't think the proximity of The Valley to City Airport or other flight paths would cause any more of a problem than Old Trafford to Manchester Airport. I agree it wouldn't be easy or even possible, just another thing to consider.
So many threads about club I did look around to see if it was mentioned.
Don't agree with boycotting matches so was trying to think of something else,

People have been arrested for flying drones near football grounds. I believe you can be fined up to £5000.
No the fine I mention is for the individual involved, although there may be sanction against the club.
Seth regarding the park - potentially yes, appears to depend on circumstances, if Welling were at home it would appear more likely
"Regulation in UK depends on weight and purpose of the UAS; under 150kg the CAA regulates under the Air Navigation Order 2009 (ANO), the Air Regulations and CAA own Civil Aviation Publication 722 (CAP). Over 150kg the full force of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) may come calling on you....
Most Amateurs will have seen ads for UAS under 20kg or "small unmanned aircraft" (SUA). ANO 223 exempts these from most manned aircraft regs eg registration and airworthiness. BUT ANO 138 applies to all "aircraft" - it's a serious criminal offence to recklessly or negligently cause or permit an aircraft to endanger any person or property.
AUS are specifically regulated by ANO 166 and 167; the operator MUST maintain direct visual contact with the aircraft AND must NOT fly it :
A. Higher than 400ft (curiously not expressed in metres) above ground
B. Over or within 150m of any "congested area"
C. Over or within 150m of an "organised open air assembly of over 1,000 persons"
D. Within 50m of any "vessel, vehicle or structure" not under the operators control
E. Within 50m of "any" person
F. For any commercial purpose (hard luck Amazon!).
Interpretation is likely to be in accordance with the "mischief rule" in
Other words interpretation strictly to deal with the mischief in question.
Over 20kg, drones are subject to regulation as if manned eg registration, airworthiness, permission to fly and pilot qualification."

This is the bit relevant to us, although for any of you who've managed to forget what an absolute bunch of tools they are, it's worth reading Palace fan Kevin Dunn's quotes. Kevin is 44, lives alone, and lists his interests as Hollyoaks, model crafting using pasta shapes, and collecting old Clearasil bottles.
In the end the plan had to be abandoned, although it had nothing to do with any threat.
Instead the pilot's request to fly over south east London was turned down by the Civil Aviation Authority because of fears over where the plane could safely land if it suffered engine failure.
Palace fans had raised £800 to pay for the banner.
There was a thread about it on their message board that had a bit more detail about why it was turned down, but I can't find that. The fact that we had parachutists at The Valley the other year suggests it might be possible to do something, although personally I think that their are better ways to spend that sort of money than on a publicity stunt that's been and gone within a few minutes. I would rather see it spent on something similar to the Man U green and yellow scarves (which I think someone has suggested elsewhere), or on banners/flags etc - something that can be used repeatedly over a sustained period.
Wow, that's a lot of money to splash out on winding up a club you don't care about.........
