The protests are falling on deaf ears. They do not give a s*** they think some new customers will come along! They ONLY way anyone will listen is a full boycott. I know we support the team not the owners but sometimes you have to make a sacrifice for a grater cause. If you keep going to games ST holder or not , you are responsible personally for what RD and his puppet are doing. You are showing your support of it. Imagine the impact if not a single customer was there! Personally (I know Seb will be but that's his fault!) if you go to Blackburn I question how you can call yourself Charlton - you'd be playing a part in financing this disgrace.

30 years a season ticket holder how did it get to this
I boycott home games. I do it for my own piece of mind. I would never question other's motivations for still going to the games and certainly would not demean them by stating they aren't proper fans if they don't boycott. This type of thread is not helpful, the fans should be united against the owners and digging them out because they don't want to protest in the way you do is ridiculous.
Lib Club for a few beers and protest after the game.
The problem with boycotting is that it's divisive. Asking fans that have different motives for attending a match not to attend could be alienating. This is a time where all fans need to be unified and make a stand together.
My suggestion would be exactly what we saw at Forest except bigger, louder and more public.
There definitely needs to be a new angle at every game to keep it fresh and to keep the publicity.
But the before and after protests need to be maintained. We need to keep in sight. Not only to remind them we are stil here, but to also educate and encourage others to join.
Just listened to the Henderson interview. Pretty shocking in its honesty. If he is a true reflection of what the players are going through then we should remember these are mainly kids with fragile mindsets. The experience they are being put through due to the ineptitude of the management of the club may ruin careers many of which are only just starting.
Personally I believe there are more effective ways to get at this regime and they involve cutting off income streams and kudos to Valley Gold for their decision to do just that. Advertisers and sponsors should be next in line to walk away.
Boycotting a game is withdrawing support to the team on the pitch at time they badly need our support. Showing solidarity may be too strong a term, but when it comes down to it, only the guys wearing the red shirts (with a proper manager - if only) can do anything about our league position.
Anyway, each to their own. I will be there maybe before, definitely after the game.
