Now, I hate the bloke, but Piers Morgan is co hosting 606 on Saturday. It may be an opportunity for some of us to call in and continue keeping our plight in the mainstream media.
Piers Morgan may be a bellend, but he does undoubtedly have a very large online presence and being a football fan he may help give us a voice.
Although if Piers is on, you can see the entire show being dominated by Arsenal fans.
The sun done alright there. I was waiting for horseshit within the piece but it didn't happen. Thought Powell would have been backed via social media though.
Interesting what he says about Luzon and what Luzon said.
Best insight Charlton chief executive Katrien Meire, opening up at an industry conference last month about “weird” fans who fail to “see themselves as customers … When I get ‘friendly’ emails from fans they say get out of ‘our’ club. Not the shareholders’ club. It’s quite funny … when they go to restaurants and the cinema and are not satisfied with the product do they scream to the people in charge of it? No they don’t, but they do it with the football club and that’s very weird. They feel this sense of ownership.”

This clearly a lie. We know she never reads emails from fans.
"We should care about them in the same way we should care about Charlton Athletic, the club only kept off the bottom of the Championship by Bolton.
Financial peril is not an issue at Charlton, but this is the club who are on their fifth coach since Belgian businessman Roland Duchatalet took over two years ago.
The club, which, according to chief executive Katrien Meire, now exists to find players to “sell on to the Premier League”.
The club which refers to its fanbase as “customers”.
Once the poster boy for how a club with a strong sense of community should be run, it is now an insult to its community."
BBC World Football phone in weekly show is hosted by Dotun Adebayo who supports Charlton according to Wikipedia.
I'm not on twitter but could be worth giving him a shout.
Yes Dotun is a Charlton fan - has admitted as such on BBC Radio London several times. He may be sympathetic to any callers!
Surprised at this. He once told me that he was a spurs fan with a soft spot for Charlton. Clearly changed his allegiance now.
I've been listening to his show for years and he's always said he's a Charlton supporter, although he has an odd affinity with Spurs (he grew up round that way). I think he claims to be Charlton's first black supporter or summit'.
Instead of going to The Valley why don't we go to Duchbags & Nightmeires hometown club St Truden for the day and protest over there. That would get a lot of media attention to our plight.

There speaks a man who is Charlton through and through. I know Rick has he's detractors among some lifers, but I can't think of anyone better to lead us from the front he is telling the media exactly like it is, and the great thing is they beginning to get it. Thanks Rick.

mentioned a fair few times on talksport this morning, however I must have missed previous things as they kept on referring back to Charlton as if they had discussed it earlier in the show. Only downside to the coverage is Ray Wilkins says he felt sorry for KF. Evidently the media coverage has still yet to truly show our predicament if people feel he is a victim. Keep it up guys

We need to ramp this up a bit
Daily Mail saying hes been sacked, showing a picture which they claim is from last night but is actually last season.
Fair play to the BBC for voicing this as well.
Mentioned with the headlines at around 7:40. Starts properly at 9:45.
Thanks Rick.
