Tbf, with all the negative aspects going on at the moment the support to the players on the pitch has been somewhat commendable.8

fair play curbs. But don't forget getting behind the protests prior to the game outside the west stand at 2.300

Moronic comments @curbs1965. Those of us who have been protesting also 'get behind the boys' every single week. We also go carry on going 'come what may'. We're also 'Charlton for life'.
We just care about the future of our club. We saw how protest from Liege didn't 'do nothing' and prompted Roland into selling. We saw how fan action in the Selhurst days got us back to the Valley and saved the club from probable extinction. It's our club. We need to make it clear our voice matters now, and always will.
Loud and proud outside the West Stand tomorrow lads. And even louder in the stands to lift the lads. Come on you reds.

big, big difference between supporting the team (underfunded) and the regime running the Club. It is possible to separate the two, support the team and protest against KM/RD.curbs1965 said:Each to their own I guess but I am a supporter which believes in supporting through good and bad. We will come good I'm sure!

Supporting the protest is expected. Supporting the team is demanded.6

There are plenty of fans who have thrown their toys out of the pram and refuse to go to the game!
I am not a protester, don't have a problem with those who do protest (sensibly), what I do have a problem with is the so called fans who refuse to support the team!3 -
I will support the team as I always do, but will also protest against anything I see as a threat to the future of my club. If lessons seem to be learned, I will be quick to forgive, but not to challenge is not being a supporter in the way I see it.2

If they laugh that is their lookout - protests are a warning about something that ultimately will cost the owner a lot of money. I doubt he is laughing too much.0

I'll be there tomorrow - I'll be there every home game.
Ive no problem with Charlton being 'bad', we've seen it before many times. But there is a big difference between Charlton playing bad and Charlton being run WRONG.
We could finish bottom of the league and I'll still love the club. But I cannot turn a blind eye to the identity of the club being hijacked and being mistreated. That is a very different situation from 'having a bad time'14 -

Get behind? Hopefully between the back four and Hendo.0

Me to!curbs1965 said:Being a season ticket holder for many years, its time to get behind the lads and for one week forget all the negative stuff going about the valley. Only we can help the players off the pitch and forget all the protests. It never achieves anything. Only way to proper make a difference is to vote with your feet. I will be there week in come what may. Charlton for life!

I'm no fan of this present regime, but I don't get what this means. It's just another platitude in a seemingly endless litany of such that is posted on here every day.cafctom said:I'll be there tomorrow - I'll be there every home game.

What exactly do you mean by this club's 'identity'? A club that was ousted from its home, a club that has yo-yoed between the second and third tiers for most of its history? A club that has always sold its best players for less than their worth? A small club with limited ambitions?
The present mob are not 'destroying' our club - that's impossible - they're simply doing things we don't like.Protest, wear a black & white scarf or boycott if it makes you feel better, but I guarantee we'll still be here in ten years time - whoever's running the show - and doing what comes naturally: supporting the team that will always be Charlton.6 -

This para taken from a Times article on Bolton, quoting club legend Kevin Davies should have some resonance with us.
But Davies is not a lone voice in arguing that jobs are not the only thing to have been shed since the club’s 11-year stint in the Premier League ended in 2012. Davies believes the club have been “in a downward spiral” since Allardyce resigned in April 2007 and claimed a thick rot set in during Dougie Freedman’s two-year tenure to October last year. “The whole fabric of the club has changed,” he said. “Big Sam created this incredible family environment where everyone, from the first-team players and their wives down to the cooks and the cleaners, felt part of the club. We were all in it together but over time factions developed, the culture changed, a lot of popular and familiar faces left. The club became sterile, a colder place to be, and the fans don’t feel part of it in the same way they used to.”
I appreciate some fans may not get this. Others may say – we'll carry on supporting the club because you can’t do anything about it. Bolton will have the loyal die-hard fans going to their games. But not enough of them. Just accepting it is what it is isn’t the answer.
The fans who sing 'we want our Charlton back' get it. It is in the owner's interest to try to find 'our Charlton' too. And when he shows signs of understanding, I will back him all the way and forget the past. But at the moment, he doesn't and we have to make him understand. If we fail, we fail, but we have to try.
