http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/charlton-new-fan-email-3009161.aspx#cMFhwXQoYuTl7daL.99Charlton have launched a new email address to update the way supporters can get in touch with the club.
To ensure enquiries get responded to more efficiently, the club have introduced the new email fans@cafc.co.uk for any supporters or members of the local community who have comments, questions or concerns regarding the club.
This new email will compliment, rather than replace, the info@cafc.co.uk email, which will still remain in place for more general admin and information enquiries.
We have also revised and updated the Club Charter (Section 8) to reflect these and other changes relating to fan enquiries, including clearer guidance on our policy about responding to fans. You can find the Club Charter here
http://www.cafc.co.uk/fans/charter.aspx.
We ask fans getting in touch to ensure they add fans@cafc.co.uk to their safe senders’ list in their email to avoid any reply messages not coming through.
If any supporter believes that they have not been responded to in prior correspondence with the club in recent months, please email us at fans@cafc.co.uk and we will address this.
The club is also working with a panel of supporters called Target 20K. The group is tasked with maintaining and growing Charlton’s active fanbase by improving fans’ experience.
The group is independent of Charlton and meet with members of the club on a regular basis to propose and discuss ideas with them.
It was Target 20K’s suggestion to make the North Lower the most affordable area of The Valley for 2016/17 season tickets and also have a new Student concessions category.
The group and the club also worked together to introduce the series of free away coach travel deals, as well as the Royal Borough of Greenwich primary school initiative that saw over 3,000 young people and their families attend the recent Cardiff match for free.
Target 20K are interested in receiving constructive suggestions for making your fan experience better so please feel free to get in touch with them at CAFCTarget20k@gmail.com or on Twitter at
@CAFCTarget20k.
Comments
I might drop them a courtesy email asking how target 20k is going.
Thanks for your email, Were on annual leave for the next year, however if you require immediate assistance please contact the NHS call centre in the west stand.
For me, my beef with the regime is the completely shit managers, shit players, destruction of the entire back-room infrastructure, almost certain relegation etc.
So having a nice chat makes no difference at all to me.
I am not a customer but I am not a fan either, I am a flipping supporter. Being a pedant I will annoy them by continuing to spam their info address (that will show them).
Suggest C.A.R.D announce a day where everybody is asked to do this.
Hello,
Thank you for getting in touch. Just to let you know your email has been received and a member of our team will be in touch as soon as they can.
Best wishes,
Charlton Athletic Football Club.

Could you please let me know when the current owner decides to sell the club and takes the CEO with him.
I will then renew my season ticket.
I am not holding my breath.
Do they think anybody is fooled by this crap?
but this has changed everything.
CARD should now disband.
Bugger off back to Belgium.

The get out in 8.5 is OK
The get out in 8.4 isn't
And wholly unnecessary, because info@ was already doing that job and is still in place.
Oh dear oh dear.

Not true. It was being discussed by a member of the senior management with supporters, including me, well before the group was assembled.
