    if we get a draw at colchester the replay would be a cash game so would we be inclined to not attend at all and risk going out of cup as no support there or attend fully and support the team?.

    Or, turn up,go into West Stand,give the team support,and give the regime pelters.
    fair play but we cant boycott not buy anything for a few games then just hand over 100k in ticket sales worked that on 3000 visiting colchester fans and 7000 home fans at £10.00 a ticket

    Regardless of results (which I don't expect to materially improve under the stated strategy), signings and any flannel spun in dialogue meetings via the Trust or Valley Gold or elsewhere this Board of Duchatalet, Meire and Murray is not to be trusted and I won't support them for the remainder of their (hopefully short) tenure after the complete ignorance, arrogance and naivety they've shown both on and off the pitch and the great contempt they have demonstrated to supporters of OUR club.

    I hope a run of good results, signings or soundbites doesn't dampen the weekend's enthusiasm amongst supporters for removing them from owning and running the club. Too much ill feeling and beyond repair for me. Any changes at this stage is merely lip service as the mindset and arrogance of their "strategy" being the right way is too deeply ingrained.

    They will not change and need to be removed asap.

    Agree. We must not let a few good results (and that might be wishful thinking) dampen the protests. We need change.

    I hope that we stay up, but either way these people need to leave our club.

    We need to do things that won't inconvenience the fans and won't harm the club (ie get us fined, deducted points or made to look like thugs in the media). Boycotts a good start, and of everything from programmes to food and drink (toilets exempt from this action). If that woman is still there come the summer then nobody should buy new kit. Season ticket renewal is a personal choice but suspect a lot won't renew anyway if the Wicked Witch of the West Stand is still in situ.

    As we move towards season ticket renewal time I think an organised boycott would be necessary, and could be very effective. I am not suggesting a match boycott, but losing the 2/3 million advance they get from ST sales will have an impact.

    If they do not get the normal season ticket revenue in May/July RD will have to put his hand in his pocket big time to keep the club going and protect his investment.

    At some point he will cut his losses and go, but it may not be yet.

    Now she's firmly in the firing line, it'll be no good stalking her on the train or from the station, she'll be flying in on her broom if she's got any sense............Oh hang on a minute :wink:

    Agreed, however a lot of people will still buy season tickets regardless. It may cost people a few more quid but wait until the last possible moment (beginning of August) if you wish to purchase one.

    The other items mentioned yes, start from the Blackburn game if you haven't done so already. I've seen a comment on another thread about occupying Crossbars before home games but not purchasing anything. Another good idea.

    Yes, that should be the approach.

    No surprise, at this stage what else would he say? In any event, I'm sure it's not a direct quote, so we will see.

    But Standard Sport understands Duchatelet will not consider selling and the protests seem unlikely to change his approach.
    Because they read it in the SLP over a week ago maybe? There never was any source for this apparent nugget from Roland.

    Besides, it would be a bit of an anti climax if he sold up just as we were getting started. There's only so much the old man is going to tolerate from one of his ungrateful investments.

    He may not sell up today. He may not sell up this week. Maybe not even this month. But he will. And when he does we're going to have a massive party.

    I do wonder if there is too much dilution and not enough strategy, perhaps its just me, my gut says this is not the valley party campaign. Think a quiet meeting might help. If I'm the only one who thinks that then fair enough, if not drop me an inbox.

    I think perhaps a list of potential ideas in one centralised place, and a mechanism for discussing particular ideas could be a way forward. I also don't think anyone should be dissuaded from pursuing their own ideas if they wish.

    For information, for those unaware: There's a new page on the Charlton Athletic Supporters' Trust website, entitled 'Co-ordinating Information for Proposed Fan Action' castrust.org/2015/12/450456/

    From the web page: "We invite organisers to submit details of their upcoming planned actions, their goals and their contact details for inclusion. Please email these details to secretary@castrust.org "

    NB: This web page is for listing ideas / actions, and there isn't a facility to enable discussion on the website.

    I agree with LuckyReds in that there's scope for both organised, advertised demonstrations and unadvertised (perhaps one-off) actions. There's no set template for us to follow, so fans should take the initiative. Some may say that the end justifies the means.
    CAFC may be owned by one man, but neither we, nor he, should forget that the club supporter is the backbone of the club. The owner might employ match-day staff, stadium-based staff and a group of footballers but, without our ongoing financial backing, 'his' Valley will be largely empty.
    Life-sized, cardboard cut-outs of happy, clappy customers won't look good. And who will sit on the sofa?

    My post didn't appear as I wished it to. I was responding to LuckyReds.

    I read this from the Standard. Really, I saw no source other than 'the Evening Standard understands'. Anyway, the protests need to ho on.

    Ignore it. It's piss poor writing (won't credit it with being journalism) as expected from that rag. Find something on the web, rewrite it (often they don't even do that) and give it a headline relevant to what is trending in that subject area and, bingo, a story in five minutes without even needing to speak to anyone or so any work.

    Good for you. I managed on Saturday, my only weakness a visit to the urinal. Given the state of those on a match day we could plaster them with Meire Out posters and they'd still be there next season.
