I was at work yesterday so logged on on my phone when I got to my car. At first I thought Pigs on the Pitch was a sequel to Snakes on a Plane then realised it was about the protest. Can't get the image of Meire grimacing the line "I'm tired of these motherf**king pigs on my motherf**king pitch" out of my head.
I do hope it's explained to the children who receive the pigs that the moist clammy feel and occasional short curly hair are not the result of being stuck down a mans trousers.
I did find it amusing watching the stewards and club underlings picking up the pigs - probably 90% of which had spent the previous hour stuffed down someone's (male and female) pants. Hope they washed their hands before the half-time snacks....

Indeed. Lee Novak seemed to be in charge of pig-herding near where I sat. He was clearly finding the whole process highly amusing too!
Wasn't there but I can't see a few plastic pigs changing anything... we won 3-0, we're comfortably just behind the play-off places with a top 6 budget, and Katy ticked all the boxes by meeting the fans before the match; and no doubt she and Sue brown nosed with the Sisu contingent from Coventry as well to liaise as to how to destroy a football club.
I agree we are comfortably behind the play off places.

Disagree.
Was a well orchestrated campaign picked up massively by the TV and Radio media and gets the whole business about irresponsible and cavalier ownership of FL clubs more into the public domain and its not just about Duchatelet its about all the other clubs in the FL suffering from this kind of idiosyncratic ownership like Coventry, Blackpool, Leeds, Blackburn..........
The FL have rules re fit and proper owners but they seem incapable of recognising the damage that is being done to clubs with a great footballing history by these new 'year zero' owners who disregard the history and any long-term fan commitment and want to shape the clubs in their own misguided image (or vision as RD puts it). Remarkable that the FL are represented on FA Council by Meire who openly admitted that Charlton were purchased with the intention of becoming a player farm nursery.
Anything which raises awareness of the level of discontent with certain owners (as the joint flying pig protest did yesterday) is to be welcomed.
Can someone make sure the Charlton Museum has a pig, a squidgy ball, a beach ball, and some stuffing from the sofa. It might not be able to be displayed now, but in years to come those items will stir fond memories in many.

Along with a transcript of Katrien telling porkies!

'Porkies', see what you did there, clever.
Did each flying pigs on the pitch also represent a Porkie that has come from the lips of Katrien Meire

As others have said, I'd welcome some more plastic animal initiatives, starting with -
1 Rats
2 Squirrels.
Major success by CARD and now the Pigs must surely fly over Belgium.
Daisy cannot always handle the piglets by herself and sometimes needs help from the staff at the farm.
How true!
