Rumour even has it that Katrien has made accusations that CAFC museum trustees have incited riots and should be kicked out of the museum. If true, it's an absoloute disgrace that the club CEO is acting in this way.
Only one trustee (me) and it wasn't a rumour. She accused me of "inciting a riot", and repeated the accusation twice more, to my face and in front of witnesses including my then 16 year old son. Not very impressive from a solicitor or a CEO. This took place just after the first launch of the Spell it Out in Black and White campaign calling for emails to be answered, a target 20k group to be set up and better communication. This was also before any protests had taken place.
I'm not aware that she wanted me kicked of the Museum board and in any case the note in VOTV 125 said "senior management". It didn't say KM. I think even Tony Cajones would realise the PR disaster that would be if it was him.
Again, the Museum is an independent and apolitical entity.
Thanks for the honesty and for clearing that up
Absoloutely outrageous behavior from Meire, but I'd imagine that her ranting could be quite funny to witness, like some strange comedy sketch
My son found it quite funny as you might expect. Gawd knows what the members of her own staff who witnessed it thought, can't have been impressed by their CEOs lack of decorum, customer service skills or grasp of the law of slander.
I find her response quite unbelievable. She's even worse than I thought. And that really takes a bit of doing.
Think we should get a couple of thousands whistles and all blow them at the same time, making the game unplayable.
Another good idea, but only when/if we are relegated.
Surely waiting until we've been relegated will dilute the protests ? i.e. Charlton supporters are protesting because they've been relegated. I think we are fighting for the future of our club here & relegation this season is nothing to what could happen in the next few years with this lot in charge. Nobody wants relegation (unless it forces his hand) but if that's the price we have to pay to cut this cancer out of our club then imo so be it.
Davo said a sit in wouldn't work well, because stewards and police would clear fans with relative ease.
However, I thought some knowledgeable person said that the stewards are not allowed to lay their hands on you. If that is correct and 5,000 sat in afterwards, then surely they would need literally hundreds of policemen.
Policemen inside the stadium have to be paid for by the club I believe.
500 policemen @ £200 = £100K ?
Seems expensive. Am I barking up the wrong tree ?
On what basis could they throw you out? Just sitting there is not a criminal offence, at worst it could be construed as a trespass. Which is a civil offence giving no grounds in itself to be manhandled. But I might be wrong, any legal Addicks out there who could clarify.
I would imagine / hope they'd just turn the floodlights off and get on with having a nice drink behind closed doors.
if they did and their customers then injured themselves they'd face claims for compensation
The risk being if it were not supported by a significant number it could have a detrimental effect. I am happy to support any protest if it gets our message across. I do however think someone from CARD should try and open a dialogue with the club. We can continue to protest but imo we should try and proactively engage with them. If RD, KM, RM et al decided to acknowledge us and put forward a programme to achieve some of our objectives i.e., start employing British, Championship experienced personnel then they would be answering one of our concerns. I don't believe we cannot achieve our objective under the current regime, but obviously they would need to make a huge U-Turn from the way we have seen the club being run
They have no interest in talking to the fans unless it's under extremely controlled circumstances.
Stolen from Basle, who were doing it because their TV game was moved for tennis coverage.
Thousands of brussel sprouts would be more pertinent.
They'd have to be cooked like the school dinner ladies used to do (though you'd need a ladle to throw them).
Slimy and unpleasant, a perfect reflection on The Shareholder and CEO Girl (Belgium's least impressive arch super villain creation), and their evil powers to destroy football clubs.

Why would relegation force his hand?
Surely finding a new owner for a Championship club will be much easier than finding one for a L1 club
The only way this would work imo is if everyone just walked out and went to the car park to protest. Simply walking out and going home like Liverpool fans did, wont work.
Is this what we've been protesting about in the carpark these last few months? - I thought it was about the potholes.

I've been singing 'We want our Charlton Tarmac'
I feel really stupid now.
