CARD is planning another busy day of action at The Valley on Saturday, with the return of the 5pm post-match protest - and something a little extra to be announced at midday.
The Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet is calling for another
huge turnout of fans in the west stand car park after the match, but we’ve decided to add a little twist this time, which we’ll reveal on the day. We think you’ll like it.
We’re also asking for volunteers to help with another major distribution exercise to arriving fans before the game, so if you can help from 1pm onwards and haven’t yet provided your contact details then please drop us an email at
charlton.card@yahoo.co.uk.
This is additional to the copies of a new Trust News being distributed by our friends from the Charlton Athletic Supporters’ Trust, so there will be plenty going on before the game.
Naturally we were concerned to read the speculation that chief executive Katrien Meire would be leaving the club and we’re thrilled to read on the
BBC,
Guardian,
Daily Mail,
Independent, and
South London Press websites that she’ll still be there to enjoy this weekend’s protests.
Thanks for making that so very clear, Katrien, with your statement on the club site last night. Sadly, CARD can’t take the credit for your official resignation. Yet.
CARD doesn’t promote or endorse actions that break the law and the police have asked to us to make clear that they will look to arrest any individual who brings a flare to the protest. We promise it will be colourful enough without them.
In the meantime, you’ll have seen the first of our posters that went up opposite Makro in Charlton at the weekend.
Here’s the story if you missed it - and rest assured that we have plenty more surprises lined up over the coming days, weeks and months.
We’re very grateful for your support to date, including donations made to the protest fund. But if you are able to contribute financially then
more information is available here.
In the meantime, here’s our
latest video to remind you why #WeWantOurCharltonBack - be sure to spread it far and wide on social media. Thanks!

Charlton fans! A DIFFERENT BREED OF FANS!!!
That's why I've only been to only 1 game!
Not been back since
But ur still not getting it are you km
Anyway, flares a no-go. Who's got the smoke bombs? : ---)
Katrien or Powelly - who ya gonna believe? Good to see the slippery rhetoric of the CEO dubbed so precisely to the Gospel of truth that is Chris Powell.
How much would it cost for you to get down here?
I will get you down here either on my own or via other donations to subsidise what I will pay.
You give a lot to this forum and I think you should be at the protest.
Let's make it a big one.
Fully support the dedication and commitment of everyone in trying to encourage these dreadful heartless people to take their failed social experiments, their arrogance and their lies elsewhere. It also makes me feel quite heartbroken that the core spirit of it all, developed over many decades has already been dug up, mangled and destroyed to achieve nothing...absolutely nothing.
I would not support it even if the Roly system (or whatever it is) actually worked but the tragic bit is that is doesn't. Not even slightly.
How many would even swap this spineless crap for the terrible night that Bailly blasted the penalty over the bar against Swindon Town in League 1 and we all knew we had another season of Bury away. It was awful but at least it was real.
Wish I could be with you and can only hope these useless tossers have well and truly buggered off by the time I have a chance to get to the Valley in May.
