If I haven't messaged you privately to confirm receipt and you have made a donation just send me a message if you would like confirmation. Just a couple of names that im not familiar with.
I do believe the protest fund money would be much better spent than on T-shirts or jumpers.
Firstly, it's too cold, and secondly it could easily be confused for a Charlton shirt, the scarves are prominent not only for the message associated with them but the unusual black and white , it attracts attention, RED shirts wouldn't.

Agree with your comments but the t shirt could easily be changed to a sweat shirt. It could also be a sign of willing to buy a shirt but not a shirt from the regime. the design is meant to be a parody of the home shirt as that describes the current owners perfectly
It was just a idea at the end of the day from SE10 in which I explored. I am sure there a several better and not so better ideas floating out there. Best to explore everything I say.
Just my thoughts but decent badges (that actually exist unlike the mythical CL ones) would be great and might work out cheaper than reprints of stickers.
Whatever the money is spent on must serve several purposes. Not only to show support for the CARD inside and around the ground but also with an eye on the wider media. The billboard suggestions are great if potentially expensive but have the advantage that once done photos can be tweeted to the press or whoever instantly. A simultaneous billboard in an appropriate location a bit closer to Roland's secret Bond villain headquarters would be even more newsworthy and likely to get wider coverage.
Alternatively we could just drop a couple of Lifers behind enemy lines with a few prepared bedsheet style banners and a map of Roland's route to the office...
Guys - just to say that I regularly review this thread and many others (though not all) for protest ideas. I'm keeping a record of them and they are reviewed when there is a CARD meeting. Some will fly, some won't (for lots of reasons), but the creativity is much appreciated.
Of course, the Protest Fund was started before CARD and @Curb_It and I could approve funding to make the ideas a reality without going through a CARD meeting - but it makes sense to tie all the activities and plans together as much as possible.
If anyone has an idea that they really want to take forward, take ownership of and do the work to make it happen. PM me and we can talk about it and whether it looks like a possible idea for funding. If we talk before you do a lot of work, best all round. If I think it's a possible candidate for funding I can then advise on putting your case forward in the best/easiest way.
I thought one match day protest could be circus themed. Simple clown masks, revolving bow ties etc and it would keep the face painters busy, unless they're on the official club suppliers FLASH PROTEST banned list. Surely some BIG TOP music to accompany the protests could be arranged. The press would love it.
Used this site to mock up a t-shirt. 500 large red ones would cost approximately £1173.
It says "WE WANT OUR CLUB BACK #ROLANDOUT"
With the following line layout:
WE WANT OUR CLUB BACK #ROLANDOUT
Definitely would be clear enough to see around and about. Obviously when it came to wearing them, the club has the right to refuse entry yada yada, but there we go.
If enough people think this is a good idea, then possibly a good idea to apportion some funding towards it. I have to say that I certainly don't have the financial capital to sort this myself (even though I presume should this be approved then the fund would be allocated accordingly, but it would require me invoicing in some way I guess), so... yeah.
That's an idea and one that's not too expensive per shirt.

I think selling them for a profit towards the protest fund would be a better idea if it's possible. £1173/500 works out at £2.35 per t shirt. I'd happily (among others I assume) pay £10 for one. Giving a £7.17 profit per shirt. Generates another £3585 towards the cause.

But thanks everyone.
All I would need is a hi res copy of the logo and permission.

Someone mentions Charlton jumpers at 12.18 and at 15.10 no one has made a cardigan joke.

I think these would be popular, not too much outlay and certain to sell well and make more money for the fund and other ideas.
