A statement from the club outlines its “disappointment” that some fans are heading for Belgium and expresses thanks for the numbers travelling to Northampton. “We understand our supporters were disappointed with last season’s relegation and this season’s current league position, but it is important to stress that the club is continually investing and trying to build for the future,” a club spokesman said.
“At a time when so many clubs are facing serious financial problems it is important to make clear that Charlton Athletic is in a healthy financial position with a secure long-term future. While we recognise the right for individuals to express their feelings, we would request that anyone travelling to protest in Belgium this weekend will conduct themselves in an appropriate and respectful manner.”
How insulting yet laughable that the club should think it appropriate to make this "request" of the fans.
It is Duchatelet, Meire, Murray and Keohane that have conducted themselves inappropriately throughout their tenure and who have shown zero respect for the history and traditions of the club, and for the thousands of loyal supporters they have dismissed with supreme arrogance.
So here's a request for them, Give up this pointless struggle. You will never, ever succeed because you are arrogant, incompetent and addicted to failure. You will never, ever be forgiven for what you have done. Sell up and get out of our club.
Can we request the club deals with its fans in an appropriate and respectful manner, because their failure to do so is part of what this is all about. How insulting for them to make that statement. We are not representing them, we are protesting against them! Of course we will be respectful, we are joining forces with Belgians who think the same as us.
Due to circumstances beyond my control I won't be travelling. However!
I have many contacts and friends in the lowlands and have via the beauty of Skype got some (10) fans of Herentaals to attend and join up with their brethren from Stinden and South London. They owe me favours and as an added pep told me they don't recognise any laws that prevent them from creating.
Ludo, Sam et al I know you are reading this through one eye in the Rue Nueve. Do me proud in my absence. Same applies to all you red men and women doing this for our club
For various reason can't be with the 'heros' who are going to rattle Douchebags cage this weekend in Belgium. However, those that are going have my utmost respect and gratitude. Because of you guys there is a chink of light in the battle to rid our club of this cancer. I know many have posted that we are "all Charlton fans" and should respect each other's point of view, but I'm sorry, I have this overwhelming urge to smack the next regime apologist I meet in the face (but unless he's shorter than 5' 6" I'll probably bottle out). But I'm sure you get my drift. Again, all the best people, have a great weekend and give him hell!! Because of your efforts there may be a future for Charlton.
