I should really get my deposit and and get booked now.
I will do Day trip coach unless somebody has a room in ST that will go unused (due to their change of plans etc.). Please PM me if you have/may soon have such a room.
Cheers
Ps. Is there a deadline for sign up?
Siv,check out cafcwill's earlier post re spare room at Belrom hotel.
I'm all booked up. Flying Cork to Amsterdam and then getting the train from Schipol to Brussels. Should be in Brussels for 11.08. So probably in St. Triuden for lunchtime. See you there.
One thing to be aware of is that there is no ATM at Stayen ground complex (unless its been recently installed) ,the closest is at the station, a good 10 minute walk away - and certainly when i was there the first time, many sections of the ground didnt accept card payment - therefore make sure you have some Euros with you for the march.
dunno but I'm still undecided. If there is to be a lot of anti Roland chanting it would be worth giving him a few of my Euros to participate, if not I won't bother.
Looks like a hotel in Hasselt the best option? Looks like Sint Tuiden is banged out for some reason ;-))
I found a b&b in Gingelom (sp) that had rooms yesterday when I booked. Might be worth a shout. info@regalys.be
wish I'd read that five mins ago. Just booked Holiday Inn Express in Hasselt so not too bad.
Rooms there look very romantic TCE - hope you and Prague have a nice weekend away ;-))
Im no longer in the same hotel as Prague, I got a phone call saturday night to say they'd double booked my room (Truth be known, I think Prague had me slung out.) Although it didn't take me long, Im hoping @3blokes is joining me at my new location. I'll take my Barry Manilow LP along just incase he does.
A twin room in Gingelom (sp) about 5 miles away from Sint Truiden will be available as soon as they confirm my cancellation. Nice romantic location, floral bed linen etc. (3blokes had a better offer) truth be known I think my new friends in Se9 have marked his card. Lol
Don't forget to make your protest banner. If you need some advice on how to go about it you might want to take some inspiration from Malevich. So why not pop into the Royal Academy and see the Revolution exhibition and then check out their website
No application for demonstration against Roland Duchâtelet
"There is no official request yet," said Chief Constable Steve Provost. "We also note that is organized on the Facebook profile CARD anything, but officially there is still nothing. Only when an official request, we will assess whether we can guarantee safety. "

SINT-TRUIDEN - Een 200-tal fans van Charlton zakken op zaterdag 4 maart naar Sint-Truiden af om te protesteren tegen het beleid van clubeigenaar Roland Duchâtelet. Burgemeester van Sint-Truiden Veerle Heeren en korpschef Steve Provost hebben de Coalition Against Roland Duchâtelet (CARD) onder strikte voorwaarden de toelating gegeven om een vreedzame betoging te organiseren. “De verzamelplaats bevindt zich op de Veemarkt. Van daaruit gaat het naar het station via het Stationsplein tot aan de brug op de Tiensesteenweg/Fabriekstraat.

Het Beland van Limburg(newspaper) Today (ie Tuesday 21st Feb 03.00 am)
City council and the police give the green light to rally against Duchâtelet Around 200 Charlton fans are to to protest against the policies of club owner Roland Duchâtelet in Sint Truiden on Saturday 4 March. Mayor of Sint-Truiden (Veerle Heeren) and Police Chief (Steve Provost) state that the Coalition Against Roland Duchâtelet (CARD) have been permission to organize a peaceful demonstration, but under strict conditions "The meeting is on the Cattle Market. From there it goes to the station and from the Station to the bridge on the Tiensesteenweg / Fabriekstraat. They have no permission to demonstrate in front of the stadium, "said Mayor Heeren.
"It is a few hot heads who previously worked directly or indirectly for the club and who were shown the door due to their rebellious and rowdy attitude. They also don't like the fact that I give Katrien Meire my support. The decision and consequences for the demonstration lie at the feet of the mayor and police chief."
Interesting to note that the police chief must have been working night shift and that CARD were too, given the complete rewrite from the original article....

They also don't like the fact that I give Katrien Meire my support. The decision and consequences for the demonstration lie at the feet of the mayor and police chief."
We also request that Duchâtelet undertakes: To make the football really competitive on the field to express a healthy ambition for the club to pursue sporting successes If Duchâtelet can not undertake here, we ask that he is actively looking for a suitable buyer for the club, which will give us the opportunity to grow and be successful.

I think that might be libellous, Roland. It's certainly not something you could prove, as it isn't anywhere near true, and given the number of people who worked for the club it's obvious that individuals could be identified.

'consequences'
What a complete arrrrs that man is
Who are we and what do we want?
We also request that Duchâtelet undertakes:
To make the football really competitive on the field
to express a healthy ambition for the club to pursue sporting successes
If Duchâtelet can not undertake here, we ask that he is actively looking for a suitable buyer for the club, which will give us the opportunity to grow and be successful.
Sounds familiar doesn't it!
Rowdy & Rebellious but never a CAFC Employee.
