I like the idea of the car stickers, spread the word a bit further afield that way, also includes people that don't live locally. Car stickers are easy to post out.
We had the "show me the way to go home" TShirts years ago, how about producing a few hundred anti RD ones to make a few extra pounds? There must be a pro Charlton printer in the area.
Another idea might be to take out an advertising hoarding at the Valley for a televised match. It might be preaching to the choir but it sure would cause a stir.
How about getting papers printed to be held up at an areanged time- remember Hartlepool at home when we won league one!? Could be given out before people enter the ground and would be cheap to produce...
Or alternatively , how about selling 'shares' to a protest group... Could raise a substantial amount of money with the possibility of the new group/company working with/alongside potential investors
Another idea would be to produce adverts to be played on Belgian TV- no idea what kind of fees would be involved but would help reach RDs family and the wider community as well as a lot of attention here
Or we could use Blackpool as inspiration , and throw Belgian waffles or 'Charlton restaurant menus' onto the pitch during a home game?
Another idea would be to produce masks for people to wear - not too sure who the subject of the mask would be (possibly Peter varney) - or alternatively a more substantial mask https://www.firebox.com/product/6077/Freak-Masks
Could also sell prints of Nug's brilliant posters to raise funds

Could we not make contact with some former players agents to ask if they will wear the black and white scarf holding a "we want our Charlton back" sign. :-O
1. As of this morning, the fund stood at £4,256. Many thanks to all who have donated.
2. We have today approved the first expenditure from the protest fund for an initiative proposed by a CL member. No details on here, obviously, but the purpose of this money will no doubt become apparent soon.
For anyone a little impatient to see more and faster action, all I would say is:
- we only launched the fund 8 days ago, and asked for funding proposals the following day. The hope is that this fund will continue to build, and be used for protests, as long as the current regime exists. We are here for the long haul if need be.
- we have seen the many ideas posted on here and other threads. We know that some of these are being further researched and considered with the aim of putting them forward for funding. We encourage anyone who has posted an idea to take the same next steps - work it up into a firm proposal, with costings, so it can be considered for funding from the protest fund. Do it yourself, or in a small group - don't expect anyone else to pick it up and run with your idea.
- there are a number of other discussions going on, behind the scenes, to plan further protest activities.
The regime have seriously under-estimated the ingenuity and resolve of Charlton fans. I believe they are already starting to understand that, and will rue the day they took us on.
Hopefully you will have received a message all those of you that just donated. And thanks to whoevers surname starts Fai, your money has also been safely received.
There's a load of "stickies" at present so i can understand the occasional clean up - bit we'll keep on updating this thread it so it stays fresh.
You're right about the donations. Anyone who hasn't yet donated, wants Roland and his regime out, and can afford anything at all - your donations will be gratefully received and put to good use - I can promise you.

A peel-off sticker for car rear windows (or any Windows).
Above We Want Our Charlton Back is the Charlton crest with the sword turned sideways to 2 o'clock and extending out of the crest.
On the tip of the sword sits a laughing Katrien with camera.
After the first 10,000 stickers have been sold locally at a pound pop, perhaps a second run in French for distribution in Belgium?

Support the team, not the regime!
Your money will be spent wisely.
Well, I took you up on your suggestion and we're now back to £1. Thanks a bunch.Being a cautious soul, I ignored your suggestion :-)
If I was braver, I might have lumped it on Hudds to win 5-0. Though that was probably short odds.

There were 1200 people on the site the other day, if everyone could try to put in a tenner that would be£12000, a tidy fighting fund,
so powers that be leave this on the front page
