Anyone with a summary of whether resident means resident of the EU or Sint Truiden for these purposes?

I believe the overarching reality in terms of procedure is that there about nine months to get the paperwork and stuff in order.
All of us are able to bemoan the actions of others, and are free to do so.
However there also exists people who are prepared to get off their arses, do some tedious work and preparation, and effectively put their metaphorical money where their mouths are.
Ironically this is what Roland Duchatelet is supposed to have been doing these past years, putting his money where his mouth is, that is until it is all rolled up in debt to himself which demands redemption on the sale price of the club. Activists devote a lot of their own resources into what they do too, but don't roll it up as debt to the cause.
People who make the effort to do what they believe in within the rules have elevated themselves beyond those who snipe from the sidelines by a factor of 10.76 -

where does Seth say that you have?14

I want to know who the missing 8% are.
2% of fans are protesting whilst 90% are backing the madman’s policy.0 -
Celia has jumped to the conclusion that the candidate must be a fan living in England or does not exist, and therefore I assume she thinks that this is just a stunt and not something that will be taken forward.
I think she underestimates the B20s.
May I suggest she sorts the striker buisness and leave the B20 to sort the election.12 -

Didn’t realise Roland is a fan of the Progidy - he’s Ebineezer GoodeNorth Lower Neil said:

Excellent.
Happy to go over nearer the time to distribute leaflets or whatever is needed.
Presumably volunteers will be wanted.
We need to be careful on manifesto. Let's just focus on Roland and his failures. Everything else is a distraction.
Great initiative

This is the most heartening Charlton-related thing I've read about in a long time. An intelligent and amusing attempt to take the attack to the heartland of this uncaring, uninterested, unfathomable owner.
I'd be pleased to do some leaflet distribution in ST for Valley Party 2. It's a long time since I took my sons doorstepping for Valley Part 1. At last....another political tribe I can identify with.10 -

At the risk of being whooshed is your post for real @clb74
Why do you think anyone is acting on your behalf. If all politicians were unable to stand unless they had everyone’s agreement then democracy would not work.

I'm sure volunteers will be needed for leafletting, etc. Count me in!2

It's a brilliant initiative. Its worth remembering that the VP only launched less than 5 months before election day. These fine people have given themselves nearly a year to get organised, refine the campaign message etc.
Everyone surely hopes that it wont be necessary, that he will be long gone by next autumn. But if not? We will be glad the B20 have put this in hand.
It might not have the CARD logo on it, but that doesn't mean individuals from the previous campaigns aren't supporting it and lending a hand as best they can.

Ha ha, look at the funny billionaire tramp. That vein on his neck looks like he's in a remake of Cronenberg's Scanners.

A nice piece in this morning"s Het Belang van Limburg. It is behind a wall but you can register free to access.
Google translation:
SINT-TRUIDEN - Roland Duchâtelet waved the day before the founding of ROT (Roland Out Today), a political party with Charlton fans who wants to stand up in Sint-Truiden in the municipal elections, still as a piece of British humor. "But it is bitter seriousness," assures John Barnes, one of ROT's leaders. "We will not leave Duchâtelet alone. Until he sells Charlton. Not only the club, but also the stadium. "
"We are with a group of twelve Charlton fans. Since Duchâtelet has owned our club, it has gone completely downhill, "says John Barnes, a 61-year-old retired project leader from London. "We have been relegated from the Championship under Duchâtelet, our subscriptions have dropped from 11,000 to 6,000. A disaster. We have long made it clear that we want him outside. "
"Because it's been such a lump for us for a long time: the man is only out for personal profit. He picked up lots of money on Standard, paid himself dividends in between, and also did good business at STVV ", Barnes continues. "He always knows how to talk about it. But do not forget what the man did, ranging from TV money to the sale of players. And such a way of working, we are not served with Charlton. Certainly not when you see how sportively we have deteriorated. "
"Not kosher"
Why do Barnes and his friends want to mix in politics in Sint-Truiden? "To make the Duchâtelet uncomfortable, even if it does not directly affect politics itself. We have thoroughly examined a number of issues. How he got to work at AGOST, also how he got hold of Stayen at the time. Things that did not go kosher. By mixing with us in politics in Sint-Truiden, he will feel uncomfortable again. And we will continue with that. Just as long as he sells Charlton. The club and the stadium, because otherwise we have not got rid of him yet. "
Duchâtelet already sold STVV and it is clear that he also wants to get rid of his other clubs, also Charlton. "But as far as Charlton is concerned, there will not be a shot in the business," says Barnes. "Duchâtelet bought the club at around 18 million euros and now wants 50 million. For a club that has been demoted, that is not logical, right? There are two concrete pistes, so Duchâtelet should not claim that there are no potential buyers. From Australia there is a very good track. But he does not get his great price and so it is noisy. "
One Truienaar needed
The question remains whether a couple of Englishmen can just stand up in politics in Sint-Truiden. Should they not be domiciled in Sint-Truiden? "Oh, but we have friends in Sint-Truiden who definitely want to put their name on the list for us to meet the conditions. Finally, we only need one Truienaar. In the past there have already been political parties with one person. We have questioned ourselves well. We will certainly continue ... unless he sells before it is so far. "
