I'm sure John Commberford won't mind me posting this on here as I'm sure Bromley Addicks will get a similar invite soon.


"Dear Member,

All Members of East Kent Addicks have been invited to meet Katrien Meire and other Senior Club Personnel in the North Stand at the Valley from 1.00pm on Saturday 27th August, 2016 prior to the Bolton game. The intention is for those in attendance to address their questions to the Club in a respectful way to enable a free and valuable exchange of views. Refreshments will be provided.

It is appreciated that a number of our Members travel to Charlton via the Valley Express Service and the Club have agreed to provide an additional coach departing from Ashford at 11.30am and Faversham at 11.50am. Priority to travel on this extra coach will be given to Valley Express Season Ticket Holders and those who regularly utilise the Valley Express Service with the normal match-day price of £11 applying. It should be stressed that there are no restrictions in attending this event for those who travel independently to the Valley.

Whilst this invitation has been extended by C.A.F.C. to all East Kent Addicks Members, those wishing to attend must reserve their place in advance by contacting East Kent Addicks either by email at ekaddicks@talktalk.net or by telephoning #############. Please note that admission will be restricted solely to those who meet this criteria and that there can be no exceptions.

Those wishing to travel via the additional Valley Express Service should also contact East Kent Addicks, who will liaise with the Club to make the necessary arrangements.

Kindest regards,

East Kent Addicks."

    I presume that other supporters groups have had similar letters?
  • Decline it. Stop giving that witch your time to allow her to spout lies upon lies on you. We all surely know by now that dialogue with them is not the way forward, they say what we want to hear and act otherwise.

    I know it feels good to be in amongst those at a high level in our Club, but we shouldn't be holding hands with our enemies. She will thrive on it, say the right things, get a few smiles and gullible souls thanking her.

    Spot on.

    Unless she says, "Roland has agreed to sell up", absolutely nothing she says is of any interest.

    Daisy has apparently told her colleagues to start without her if she doesn't make it on time as 1.00pm is a bit early for her on match days.
  • Fair play to the club for at least trying.

    CAST declined the offer to talk a few months back, should it now follow that regional groups do likewise?

    If there's anyone that a group should speak to it should be the owner of the club.
    How about set up and demand a Q&A event with Roland himself.

    Don't let her parade it as meeting the fans when all she will want to do is discuss the family fun day and whether or not coaches have been on time so far.

    Has there ever actually been a chance for fans to meet Roland?

    Can I ask that John's mobile number be removed from the opening post please? I'm sure he wouldn't want it posted on a public forum.

    In addition, it does give supporters a chance to speak their views to KM and SMT. I believe it is fair to give supporters that chance.
    Yes their views may get shouted down or declined but it will at least be heard.

    What comes out of it we shall see however it's worthwhile imo purely for supporters to get the chance to put their points across.

    And where has that got us so far? I think we need to maintain a united front here and follow the lead of CAST otherwise divided we fall. Neville Chamberlain waving his piece of paper springs immediately to mind. Just my opinion like.

    Like the email address they set up?

    Or the fans forum?

    Or the VIP Q&A?

    First and foremost

    Dialogue should never cease, it should always be the vehicle used to drive change

    It also allows the person from CAFC who attends the opportunity to be held to account if statements or commitment to work together are given to improve our current plight

    This allows them to break that promise or commitment

    We all know that people have lied that people continue to lie

    Keep allowing them to do so, let them keep lying

    Personally I believe the opportunity of dialogue should not be rejected but if it is to be a meeting around a table the first action should be to place a tape recorder in the centre. I only wish my own branch had not folded as it would have been a pleasure to speak with KM and SMT whoever they are to hear what they have to say.

    This is simply just a tick box exercise so that the SMT can say that they talk to the fans

    Of course it is, but it will still be interesting to see a transcript of the questions and answers. If they are not challenging, it will be damning, and if they are it will be interesting.

    That's not a real phone number
  • I honestly can't see the point of talking to Katrien, it's not like you'll get any honesty.

    True, like the Masons they are. They will keep schutm after lapping up the SMT's lies.

    Personally, I think they should politely refuse the invitation, tell the Club they have had two years to listen to the fans and haven't, so all we want is for Roland to sell up and go. Or, if people do go, tell them that at the start then walk out en masse. Support the team NOT the regime.

    Can you join now and go? Would be funny for her to turn up to a routine self-promoting PR exercise only to be asked what Roland's penis tastes like, have you been treated for the clap, is Nabby Sarr a good shag etc. Anyone going should just ridicule her as it has gotten to the point where noone should believe a single word she says, so dialog is pointless.
