http://www.cafc.co.uk/documents/ff-proposal-for-discussion83-3589746.pdf Just been looking at the power point about the proposed new supporters' council on the official site.
The final slide says:
2ndMarch Supporter consultation event
9thMarch Final proposal communicated
10thMarch Supporters invited to stand
23rdMarch Elections
30thApril Announcement of new Supporters Council
2ndMay Chairman elected and minute taker agreed
18thMay First Charlton Athletic Supporters Council meeting
Did anyone see anything about the supporter consultation event on the 2nd?
(Genuine question. I was in hospital that day.)
Did anyone see a communication about the final proposal yesterday (9 March)?
Did anyone see an invitation to Supporters to stand today (10 March)?
Me neither!
Perhaps KM meant 2018, not 2017?
Or (suspicious me) could there be another explanation for keeping this so quiet?
Comments
Maybe it has been abandoned following the Unity Protest (fingers crossed)
Me thinks they could not organise a pisseth up in a brew house
I'm thinking more along the lines of possible match-fixing than match abandonment!
Please see CASTrust summary here:

And have the club returned to CAS Trust with a revised timetable?
If not, one assumes the one I quoted is still current, if it suits the club.
Once the membership of the council is known, we may well see Daisy's ideal scenario, an anti-CARD fan organisation. Not all council members will be up for this, but I am sure that the new members will be carefully hand-picked to align with her views.
Hopefully I am wrong due to my cynicism, but we shall see.
Unless, of course, anyone reading this has evidence to the contrary? Tom? Tony? Katrien?
It is also possible that Meire has forgotten all about next seasons S/T offer. But there's not going to be a big rush to buy in April in any case.
But 10/3/17 coincides with (and forgive me Afka and Lookie delete this if you see fit) silly bollocks on the other channel going all "guests must sign in”
Are their new best friends being invited to stand?
God help us.
Then I decided the effort of being relentlessly non-sexist & pro regime was probably getting too much for them, so maybe they were having a nice relaxing anti-WAR, anti-Katrien/Karl/Roland session behind closed doors, in much the same way I might have a good swear into my pillow.
Time will tell, I guess!
Will they?
Not only do we have a silent CEO, but also a Trappist PR team - Nothing about the Fans Forum proposals, nothing about the POTY situation (not all fans read forums), nothing about season tickets...
No mention of it (unless, obviously, you dig very deep) on the OS.
April 1st Announcement of new Supporters Council
Blimey, they seem to reckon it'll take 5 weeks just to count all many many votes...
I wonder how prevalent that attitude is at the club now, and how far it's permeated down from the SMT. I must say though, it's potentially one of the most telling indicators behind these takeover rumours!
