    50% of 928 respondents said they were likely to buy a season ticket if there was a change of ownership

    Yes I looked up the survey after I posted my question. Very useful.
    If I were the Aussies I might offer a discount for a couple of weeks after any takeover, although would anyone who had paid the higher price want a rebate?

    Why would you need to offer a discount to those who haven’t bought for a year or more. Those who haven’t been are chomping at the bit to comeback. I would rather they spent on bringing in players.

    Good point.
  • Don’t we get to hear who our next signing is tomorrow? Midfielder isn’t it?

    No. Offer at the same price as those who have already purchased. Even if offered a discount I would still pay the full price.

    There is no difference between those that have bought their season tickets and those who have decided to boycott their purchase. We are all committed Charlton fans.

    Whilst I totally agree with your comment re no discounts for those who have boycotted, I would hope they would find a way of reserving the seats for a few weeks whilst people renew.

    I just wish they'd hurry up.

    I want to buy my Season Ticket.

    Me too
    And me
  • Will be online as soon as you-know-who departs. Looks like my money will be staying with Barclays though, unless I put a sizeable chunk on us getting relegated. Be sure of one thing; if the sale doesn't go through we will struggle hugely.

    If it doesn’t happen soon I’m going to sue Duchatelet

    Haven't you heard? Sue Parkes has divorced Chris and married Roland instead :smile:

    Duchâtelet: 'Use success Red Devils to find Belgium again'


    Calculated during the football World Cup, he builds his football empire. Because he would rather invest in social problems. Breakfast with De Tijd.
    "What is a man? Yet even an evolved animal. So people make mistakes. I, like everyone else. That is why you have to shield yourself emotionally when people write or say something to hurt you. How? I wonder what their problem is. "
    Breakfast with De Tijd
    Sint-Truiden, 8 o'clock, in Grand Café Stayen.
    With Roland Duchâtelet we talk about football, Limburg, Rock Werchter and Wikipedia.
    The question was how Roland Duchâtelet (71), a successful businessman, deals with reactions to the man. For example from the supporters of football club Charlton Athletic who came to Sint-Truiden to establish a political party. They already had a name: ROT, Roland Out Today. "I have never been awake."
    The past tense is appropriate, even if we are having breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning at the Grand Café under the STVV stadium. Last week, the newspaper said Duchâtelet would sell Charlton Athletic. The deal is not round yet, but with a pistolet with egg and a slice of pineapple he says: 'Football does not suit me well. It is a separate world that is not mine. "

    That sounds strange for someone who has been in it for more than twenty years, as a sponsor and later owner of STVV, then of Standard, Charlton, Carl Zeiss Jena from Germany and the Spanish Alcorcón. "Today you see that there are more networks of clubs such as Manchester City, Watford and Red Bull. That is more in line with the internationalization of business. But when I did, I was crazy. Perhaps I did not make the sentence clear enough, that is possible. '
    The coffee did not get a chance to get cold, so early in the conversation this already seems like the confession of a mistake. 'Gosh, I have often been mistaken in my life. That's how it goes. I started TV Local a long time ago. That was too early and I did it in the wrong market. Years later, YouTube came with the same concept. But on time. And in a much larger market. This country and our language area were too small for something that was so innovative. '
    To cradle Melexis
    A dribble, a piercing pass, an assist: once Duchâtelet himself played at White Star Woluwe, the flute acceleration was left in the body and head of the man who thirty years ago - together with Françoise Chombard and Rudi Dewinter - stood at the cradle of Melexis and later became politically active in Vivant and Open VLD.

    He needs little to make trips. From football to economy to politics. "The Flemish government still does not realize that. It still requires companies to prepare documents in Dutch. We have a company that is quoted on the stock exchange in Paris, nobody speaks Dutch to the big shareholders, but everything has to be prepared in Dutch. That is just absurd. "

    That indicates little vision, he thinks. Examples fly out. 'Flanders has existed for almost fifty years, but taxes are still being collected that cost more than they generate. They then created a level of government, without abolishing the provinces. Every citizen with common sense must therefore vote for the N-VA at the next provincial elections. Because she is the only party that wants to abolish the provinces. '
    Except in Limburg, everyone seems to want to keep the province there. 'But Limburg is a catastrophe,' says the man who lives half-time in Antwerp and half-time in Limburg. 'This complex (Stayen, the football stadium, with hotel and conference room, ed.) Must compete with hotels sponsored by the province of Limburg: Alden Biesen, Maasmechelen Village, C-Mine, you name it. Once I asked the governor why he was so compete with the entrepreneurs. 'Because there are not enough in Limburg like you', his answer was. Well. "

    But he wants to leave those provinces. 'Of course I will vote for the provincial elections N-VA. Today you have to vote tactically. Naturally I naturally vote Open VLD. Then you would be crazy to vote for the N-VA, because then you choose the F-35 fighter planes, which would be the biggest stupidity: spend so much money on something that is totally outdated. That is the same as buying a video recorder now. Engineers who are now developing a new fighter plane would never put a human in there. I do not understand that someone who is as intelligent as Bart De Wever does not understand. "
    Basic income
    He himself was a ship in Sint-Truiden and a senator for seven years. Did politics become a disappointment? "No, I'm trying to see the positive of the experience. You learn a lot, you can talk about a lot. That wealth is more important than all other forms of wealth. "
    Is frustration a better word? According to Duchâtelet, the tax shift comes directly from the Vivant program. Just like the tax on financial transactions. "Only the basic income is still missing. Many people are now in Silicon Valley. Richard Branson is ahead, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg. But politics does not dare. "
    The explanation is long. He starts with the migration problem. 'The difference with fifty years ago is that migrants then found work there and thus contributed to social security. Today, 45 percent of the people are employed directly or indirectly by the government. Their taxes are therefore resources of the government itself, which contribute nothing. There are no more jobs for migrants who can bear taxes and so they have no added value economically. That sounds harsh, but in the current world of thinking of politicians and economists it is no different. Because there are no more jobs for those people, we will have to close the boundaries. '
    That's how we get to the basic income, his hobbyhorse. 'If there is not enough work, you have to make sure that there is still an income. Politicians no longer have to say jobs, jobs, jobs. They have to say: income, income, income. If you continue to build social security, as the N-VA wants, people will no longer be able to shop, to football or to a restaurant. So the economy collapses. '

    Part two coming up...
