  • Then there's just the trolls on here baiting for attention and the odd deluded colluder on Facebook.. ;)
  • I saw the leaflets that were thrown from the upper west being read woth interest by quite a few people in the directors box. I thought they were very effective, so well done whoever was responsible.

    TBF, I didn't pick one up from the floor because I saw the Season Ticket 2017/18 headline and thought it was a club promotion to get fans to buy one and I've already renewed anyway. Must have worked because there looked like a steady queue of fans at the ticket window after the game

    I'd say 90-95% are anti Roland doesn't mean there pro CARD

    Doesn't matter then as CARD sole purpose is to get rid of Duchatelet and by your own reckoning 95% share their view.
    The knock out blow from Mr Irving.
  • I was of the opinion that a Sunday morning 11am protest would not get the best vocal support. Personally I feel it's too early for the body clock. Let's face it would players be on top form if games kicked off at 11am ?

    It may have been more vocal afterwards, but we'll never know.

    I was a bit bemused from the Upper North, that there didn't appear to be much "protesting" in the Lower West. I have to say I was somewhat confused. There was far more disruption caused by let's say the 30 invaders last season, than there appeared to be today.

    Personally, I think 95% of Charlton fans would like RD to go if a better owner takes over.

    However, I'd guess perhaps 10%-20% of fans disagree with protests for various reasons, the main one being they want to watch the game without disruption.

    Anyhow, as Henry Irving said, it was still a win for the 95% who are anti RD.

    The point was clearly demonsrated what the vast majority of fans still think and whilst there was some disruption to people who dislike protests, it wasn't too bad and I didn't see any fans arguing or worse.

    There will of course be the odd thing I'm unaware of, but overall the strength of feeling was demonstrated.

    CARD will never please everyone. Some want no protests. Some think it's about right. Some want more protest. Some want the protests to be let's say "rougher".

    Well done to all.

    @Covered End your mate with the gray hair was giving it again. When the "we want Roland out" at 3 - 0 started he stood up and asked "why?"

    Cos were 13th in league one, on our 9th manager and 55m in debt, that's why.
    I had a chat with him at half time. I asked him if he was aware that RD had stated twice that he wasn't concerned whether Charlton win games or not. He said he wasn't aware and if true it was disgraceful.

    I still believe some of the people who are, let's say anti protesting, are still unaware of many of the facts.
    I was chatting to somebody in the first half, I did not return to that seat for the second as he was never going to see my side of things.

    He continually babbled on about only being interested in supporting the team on the pitch, and then continued to say that CARD were responsible for many problems, even down to saying that players do not want to play/come to Charlton because of the protests.

    The word blinkered comes to mind.
  • still can't believe CARD didn't deliver Roland's head on a plate , that is how I took the end game to mean
    Seriously CARD can't be serious unless they provide a willing owner to pay Roland's price

    If you're not happy with 13th place in League One and the competent way we are being run then you are not a true supporter , just give em another season or 3 and a few January transfer windows and I'm sure they'll get it right and if you haven't got the patience for another 3 year wait just admire the pitch and red seats .

    To the 80% singing Roland Out songs can you seriously not see that with another owner things could be a lot worse (ok I've followed us since 1976 and we have never finished lower or had a table position as low as this season but come on don't forget SCP finished 13th and if he can get us up the season after then it must be really easy )

    Be careful what you wish for

    In Roland and Katrien I continually trust

    you left out the h in trust.
    Rather you than me!
  • @LargeAddick why buy a £26 seat when, thanks to the complicated nature of seat pricing in the west you could have bought one for £17? We bought 2 in block H and then moved towards the back and more central for the 2nd half. Best view we've had for a long time back of block E I think.

    Why do people keep expecting Card (who are fans) to 'deliver' an owner? We don't own the club fffs. Edit: think I've just been whooshed but my point still stands as it's a standard pro-regime line.

    Mainly because I was assuming the central blocks would be too packed to do that with CARD asking everyone to buy in the West and I wanted to ensure I was near any planned protest that happened.

    That would be dishonest, ahem!!
  • On the plus side, my daughters came for the first time in three years and had a great day. As my 17-year-old said, where else can you get a game of football, free balloons, some interesting songs and a pitch invasion all for a tenner.

    Being one of Card's biggest supporters even I have to admit today was a bit lame, esp in light of what Orient did yesterday.

    I don't get what the 'head to the west lower' accomplished or what the aim was??!

    My main problem with heading to the Lower West was I was too close to Robinson and so had to watch his antics, plus he blocked half the pitch whenever he emerged from the dugout.

    I did get to see him smirk at the supporters as he had to walk through a load of balloons, after which he shook his head and quite deliberately trod on a couple. When the first goal was scored he oozed out of the dugout to turn to the directors' box pumping his fists. A good run-in ought not to disguise his massive failings.
    A good run in? Remind me who did we beat? An already relegated Swindon, a close to relegated Gillingham, an already relegated Chesterfield. Wow, what an achievement. Now where did I put that season ticket form?
    Agree completely. But sadly it will be enough for Daisy to scotch any thoughts that Karl might not be the new Alex Ferguson, so he'll still be here, tanned and even bigger, come August.

    Southend. Big shame it wasn't a draw.

    Did I say that? No. Stop being a knob. The last five results don't prove him a good manager, far from it, just show we beat some very shit, some already relegated, teams.
    Not defending anyone but you can only beat what you're put up against. The fact two of them were already relegated is just a consequence of the fixture list.

    Just imagine the uproar if we hadn't have beaten those 3 teams! Not saying this makes Robinson a good manager but some serious questions would have been asked of his abilities otherwise.
