I was thinking more of damage to clothing if Arsenetatters chucks up over me ;-))
Talking of clothing. Is there a dress code for the over 25s? I'd hate to offend the CL Fashion guru's. I was thinking, a pair of M&S chino's (cream in colour) maybe with a small turn up. A pair of suede slip on shoes (hush puppies?) A V neck sweater (think former manager) and a nice walking jacket to fit all my useful bits and bobs, like the emergency sewing kit and the shower cap I'm going to steal from the hotel. yours in anticipation. Really Old Bloke.
I've just remembered how much I hate travelling across sea. I've been on various boats and ships and have never actually been sick but am paralysed by fear. Ex-husband no. 2 liked to sail and had to set up his boat to sail singlehanded as I was completely useless. We once crossed the channel in a pretty flat sea but I spent all 14 hours inside the bunk - I didn't even leave the bunk to go to the loo but held on. So it has just struck me that we will be travelling by ferry on Saturday. Bugger. If you see a very anxious person on the deck looking at the horizon (I understand that's meant to help) - it's me. Please come and say hello.
A glass of wine will take away your fears well, it does mine!
I hope someone can provide a protest Match Thread on Saturday, so all those of us who are unable to attend can keep up with the events as they unfold. Good luck and a safe and hopefully success journey to all those going.
TCE , I will have with me a selection of bang on trend items with me on the overnight coach. Including Roland Out hoodies , ' KM WRONG UN ' t-shirts and Roland Out pin badges. You will look the part in any of these.

Just want to wish everyone the best of luck. Stay safe and show them that we are a club not a cloob. It's all been brilliantly organised and I know it will be a great success. Immensely proud of what you are all doing. My circumstances been it's not possible for me to join you. Although I'll happily share reports through social media etc.
This is literally all that's getting me through at the moment.
I have a massive deadline this Friday, then a notoriously tough 8 hour long assessment centre for my no 1 grad scheme (well no 2 but no 1 rejected me so we will pretend that never happened) next week. Then the following week I have 3 exams.
The thought of jetting (coaching) off to Belgium and shouting about Charlton is really what's been keeping me going!
I've barely even been on here in the last few days (well day) (by that I mean couple of hours).
I'm off to get drunk! See you all bright and early on Saturday at Folkestone.
Just found out I passed the assessment centre too! Facking buzzing!! This trip is gonna be on the middle of a 4 day bender! Forget the deadline I have Monday!!
My best wishes go to all of those CAFC fans travelling to Belgium on Saturday. You have my admiration. I wish I could go, but I can't. I'm absolutely sure that in years to home, this is one of those events that I'm going to regret not having been to. #GoGetEm #RolandOUT #WeWantOurCharltonBack
Big regret for me is that i am going to Northampton and not Belgium, but I had already committed before Belgium was announced. But i will protest in Northampton as loudly as i can and will be with you all in spirit. Good luck everyone and let's hope it encourages Roland to sell up sooner rather than later

We need fans to support the team too. A good luck in Belgium song or similar might be a good idea in case the club wants to claim most of the fans going to Northampton are not with us!

Looking at that weather forecast, you'll need a raincoat too @TCE. Then you'll be dodgy old bloke...
I've a selection of those.
I'll be wearing my new very serious raincoat made by a small company from Bergen called Norwegian Rain. It's black, with a hood, and all kinds of flaps and buttons to keep out the Bergen storms.
I was trying it on just now with the hood up, and storm flap covering the lower face, and considered myself to look rather sinister in it.
BBC has Brussels and Maastricht down as light rain or possibly dry until 7pm. St Truiden is between the two and they are the closest cities with a BBC forecast.
Not thought about the sea crossing. I once got seasick on the pedalo in Greenwich Park so I had better dig out the wristbands.
If anyone is heading over to Charlton from Lewisham on Saturday morning do you want to share a cab or something? PM me, trains look rubbish at that time of day
Just happened to be looking at the P and O ferry website and at the moment crossings are delayed up to 150 mins. Doesn't say why but I assume tricky seas

I can't be there so just want to say huge thanks to all of those involved in the planning & organising of this trip & of course everybody supporting the day/weekend. Stay safe & stay loud, Thanks all of you for caring about the future of OUR Famous Football Club.

For those traitors with me in Northampton, to the tune of 'we are Charlton/super Charlton'
Theyve gone to Belgium
Gone to Belgium
Gone to Belgium for Duchatelet
Cards in Belgium
Protest in Belgium
Goodbye Miere & ..... Duchatelet......
Best I could do after 10 hours at work......

My wife pronounced that it looks like a burka.
I'm still expecting the rain will clear and I will look very silly in that coat while you will doubtless be wearing a protest tee-shirt and shades.
