12th is this coming Thursday which is the typical big press day for the club. I just get the feeling that if they weren’t hoping for it to be announced/completed by then, why not just say the date to be Monday 16th, start of a new week?
I'm sure that there is no joined-up thinking at the club and that the 12th has no significance at all. Although there might be a number of people that can't wait to get their season ticket applications into the club because we've won a few games recently.

If the 12th has no significance at all why bother saying it in the first place then? RM must know that he can’t keep stringing us fans along like this.
I hope CARD have a statement prepared for the inevitable lack of news come Thursday.

The season tickets had to go on sale at some stage. They plucked the 12th out of the air. I doubt that RM gives a flying f@@k about the fans.

No need to mention the sale at all. Very strange statement.

Agreed, they could have just said that season ticket details will be released on the 12th and left it at that. If a new owner arrived in the meantime I doubt anybody would begrudge a new owner announcing they were delaying season ticket sales a few days whilst they studies their options.
Yet again, I will refrain from purchasing a season ticket, and will not do so while Roland is still in control. I really do despair of this moron accepting any offers and fear he will still be here come August. There's something to cheer us all up!
All the doom merchants saying he won’t sell til someone pays him £xxx needs to remember the club is losing (ergo RD) £1m a Month He will sell soon. He’s a lot of things but where money is concerned he ain’t daft
But he is not "losing" is he. I thought he was "loaning" the club the money it needs each month and then charging interest on top?
But he can't keep bumping up the asking price to cover those losses... or he could but then no-one will buy.
They don't look like they are breaking the doors down now to buy so who knows what RD is asking for.
He has lowered it to 40 mill apparently. Still two left in slightly different bids. Neither been accepted as far as I know

Actual information. Thanks for that. When is the penny going to drop for Roland?
The date has not been plucked out of the air. They want to get the information on season tickets out before our last two home games as some like to buy when at matches.
I would also assume that they would like to take the advantage of the feel good atmosphere at the moment. Sensible decision all said and done.
However, CARD I feel should be saying not to renew until new owners.

If what Henry is saying is true it sounds like it has, to some degree at least, 40m would be a significant drop in price. Perhaps he's done that and thrn loaded it on the back end with % of player sales, bonuses, etc and now wants to see if there are any other takers.

Anyone with a brain shouldn't be renewing until the sale goes through (hopefully).

True, but no doubt there will be an early bird offer to tempt customers to buy. Some will want to secure their current seat and fear that a new owner will prompt a rush and they may lose it. Some may fear a new owner could increase the cost substantially.
I suspect we will hear that prospective new owners agree the price which will ease the fear, but some will renew.
A CARD statement may reduce that figure which is why I would like to see one.
I think that most people know that CARD advocate a boycott of season tickets until any sale is concluded. I'm sure that they will, however, reaffirm that position prior to the 12th.
I would have thought only an idiot would renew at this time. A new owner will want to put their own price on any season ticket sales & I would hope that they have a better pricey strategy than KM's last effort. Also buying a season ticket was more about securing your seat than saving a couple of quid on an "early bird" deal,which is hardly an issue nowdays when the ground is only a 1/3 full.

£40M for a League One club. The bloke needs a labotamy.

1) A new owners price may well be more, especially the £175 area. One would hope that there will be a joint statement like they did over Bows appointment.
2) The ground is only a 1/3 full, but a sale would I hope change that. It depends how long the window is to renew before they go on general sale. Then seat retention will be an issue - especially for those who have moved or are new ST holders as I suspect that there will be many returning ST holders hoping to get there old seats back.

But we were all told 2 bids were accepted back in February? Who telling fibs?
So we have yet another date to get worked up about and then be disappointed when it passes with no takeover. I have decided to not get worked up about anything and just believe it will happen eventually, but only when the old goat gets realistic.
I heard the £40m was made up, in part, of payments contingent on promotions to the championship and the premier league.
How that broke down or even if the £40m was correct I don't know but different parties where offering different deals or less upfront, more on promotions.
Hence Roland had to consider who would pay the most and also who was more likely to be able to achieve success and so pay him.
As ever beware time lag and deliberately false stories (not by cousin Red).

I think Charlton fans are being lied to by Murray and Duchatelet. We are being played like a fiddle and I am sick of it. The two bids were supposed to be agreed months ago. Now we hear that no bids have been agreed. What the fuck is happening?

Is it the end of February yet?

Neither of the above worries me, just saying.
