Tom knows all about the video, rest assured...cabbles said:superb. Didn't even know that was in the offing
Meanwhile back incompetence central.
KM "Merde, have you seen the new video Tom"
TR "I know, I know. I'll mass spam all my journalist contacts and tell them the bouncy castle in the family enclosure will be even bouncier for the last game of the season against Swindon"
KM "Well done"

If only there was a way to get that onto the big screen on Sunday!3

That is simply a superb video on the protests.
No histrionics. No hyperbole. Just "ordinary" fans fighting for the soul of their club. No scripts - just each and every one of them speaking, unrehearsed and from the heart.
The Guardian has no axe to grind. No angle. No reason to support protesting fans. They were just reporting. This is the unvarnished truth.
Let's be clear, CARD did not (as some say) hi-jack the protests. It simply gave form and voice to feelings that many had but could not, for a variety of reasons, translate into actions.
How any fan can see that video and still say "I want to give the regime yet another chance" is beyond me.
Yes, we probably all feel that we've had enough of protesting from time to time But what's the alternative? Roll over and let them stick it to us? Because that's what they're doing.
Not while my Charlton heart still beats.
Sunday. 11am. Outside North Stand.
See you there.52 -
Wow !
Just WOW !
Eat your heart out all those pro regime ostriches who can't ( or won't) see the woods for the trees.
The eloquent & respected Clive Harris says it all in the final clip ....that sadly it isn't just our problem in SE7 but that of football in general & those who love the Beautiful Game.
But we can influence what happens at OUR football club & have no doubt...the fight will continue until Charlton Athletic FC is finally rid of its very own infamous vermin.
We shall NOT be moved.16 -
I've got something in my eye. Absolutely tremendous. Well done all who participated and good on the Guardian for producing it.
Will be a great day when the Sean Hamil consortium is announced as the new owners of CAFC.5 -
hes one scruffy bastard aint he roland get him some nose trimmers.1

Katrien needs to watch that and try to listen and understand. Sadly, I doubt she's capable.4

Great video.
I defy any Charlton fan to watch this and then attempt to defend the regime.
You cannot defend the indefensible.
Just sell the club5 -
From Birkbeck Website:suzisausage said:I used to have to type up lectures for a previous boss from his MSc course on sports regulation/management at Birkbeck uni. I'm sure Sean Hamil was often the lecturer as it used to take me ages to type up 2 hours of his continuous talking with his softly spoken N.Irish accent. v passionate/knowledgable - what a fascinating job!
loved the video. sent to my Dad to watch...... will let you know what he says about it!

It's funny how the press can misinterpret a situation. Katrien told me that Roland saved the club, is building a new stand and I believe her. The guardian is making this all up. The protests didn't happen.0
-
Great video. Good to spot myself outside the Oak and in the Cov protest. Looking forward to Sunday even more now1
-
My first visit this season to the Valley will be on Sunday just hope there is lots of us there.0

Superb video. Simple as that.0

Perhaps Katrien could explain her business strategy, with its unique selling point as outlined in Dublin, to him - would give him a laugh if nothing else.cherryorchard said:

Brilliant video, wonder if clowns like
Reams of Verse and Bexleyboy on the other site
make of it! Way above their comprehension!3 -
Brilliant effort, roll on Sunday.0

What a brilliant piece of journalism from the Guardian. Makes me so proud that I have been a part of our struggle.
The humble and crystal clear message from the participants stands out a mile.3 -
Brilliant piece. So looking forward to Sunday.1

The club, our club not theirs really is lucky to have some exceptional people who support and care for CAFC, the film illustrates this perfectly. Thank you1

A very well made piece and such a well spoken bunch of fans!
See you Sunday at The Valley.0 -
Fantastic video.
However, all the backslapping means nothing - he's still there, no matter what we throw at him/them.
I have come to the conclusion that RD clearly does not give a toss what the supporters think or do - he just doesnt care - in actual fact i sometimes think hes enjoing it in a perverse sort of way.
Doesnt mean that we should all roll over and let our belly be tickled- lets keep protesting , both here and in Belgium and re-double our efforts again.
We might need to be a bit more 'edgy' with our protests. For example, if we were to get enough people (say, 10) to come along to most ST games then we can legally interrupt his concept of Rvue/Dancing after the game so that its impossible to do. I'm sure thats something that would annoy him more than anything.10 -
Very very good and very well said.0

Well done all......not sure anyone could slagging off any of the speakers as all were articulate and made their point easily. Highlight was the listed building analogy, also thanks to the Guardian for the brilliant coverage.0
-
I'm not sure what the Guardian has gained by producing this but I'm very glad they did.
It's no consolation but it does appear that our organised protests and original actions have provided us more press publicity than any of the other troubled clubs and that's down to CARD and the other organisations to whom I, as an overseas fan (though currently in London) would like to thank. Without CARD videos like this and the numerous press articles would never have been aired or written.
Still awaiting comments from others who represents the "new 2%" - supporters of the regime.

My mojo for continuing the protests outside the ground was flagging before watching this video and now I can say I have been well and truly energised by it. I was going to turn up to protest as and when before the game on Sunday. Now I will get there that bit earlier. Well done whoever put this together and well done for re-inspiring fans like me.14

Then its worth its weight @bromleyjohn a brilliant post and one I hope touches others, together we can all make a difference4
