If they want to get 20,000 fans in maybe they should look to stop selling our best youngsters before the fans get to see them. I see lookman is being watched by Arsenal supposedly.
The style of team building they use isn't developing winning football so instead they need to find something the fans can buy into. If you look at the players fans most associate with it is the longest serving ones. If you are shipping out players after one season or half a season every year then you won't get fans in as they wont have anything that they feel ties them to the club.
Most, if not all, football fans get their energy and pleasure from watching the First Team.
The current regime do not have the first team as a priority.
I do not think the fans will return (and multipy) because they have pride in our nursery with the knowledge that the best players will have only a brief life in the first team before they are sold to the highest bidder to balance the books of a failing club.
The Target 20,000 launch is so unrealistic whilst the owner remains so unbelievaleably ignorant of the very basics of the game.
I see this only as a reaction to the recent criticisms of the way the club is being run and I have no faith in the sincerity of the CEO whatsoever.
On the 'giving away' thing my daughter's season ticket is often available for free as she can no longer make every match.
Yet I often cannot find a taker for it.
I accept that there is a considerable downside for any prospective user in having to sit next to me for 90 minutes or more but suggest that a worthwhile product on the pitch would enable people to overcome that obstacle!
Len, I have had the pleasure of meeting you and would be honoured to sit with another cantankerous old git such as you. I only make 4-6 visits to the Valley per season and was totally unaware of the option to sit beside a fellow old grumpy. Yet another failing of the club's database!!
Translated - I want two 16-25 year olds on the committee as they are the only ones more naive or inexperienced enough to make me look good.
Ffs...woman is toxic. More lies and pwopaganda in a simple statement that has again turned into some KM concept an example of how she has achieved and delivered when the reality is
She has done absolutely fucking nowt.
In my experience those with no talent always resort to this waffle. Nick other peoples ideas, pass them off as their own and the only bits they add are fucking pointless.
On the fixation with the Equality Act that seems to be the main angle of this article, personally I never agree with Quotas based on age, race or sex. It's dangerous. I am a huge supporter of equality of opportunity but quotas don't achieve that.
I will be glad when this thread disappears off the 1st page, it makes me laugh that anyone can honestly see 20,000 people (not all fans), inside the Valley on match day again until we are either fighting for promotion or in (do not laugh) the premier league. If they reduced match day tickets to £10, you still would not get 20,000 people watching, remember, at least 5,000 will be casual visitors, who only want to watch a good game or the opposition. Until RD and KM get real and realise the only way is a better team that is successful, they might as well plan for Target 8,000 in Division 1.
Thing is if it was Target 10000, 8000, 5000 etc as others have said then other people would be in uproar stating why don't the club have any Premier League ambitions etc and that the target would fit the model of a club geared to play in League One etc. I'm certainly not defending anyone at the club but it just seems to be a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't at the moment.
I haven't checked but i'm sure in the 2007/08 season we were still getting 20,000 crowds in the Championship. The main drivers for this though thinking off the top of my head would have been: - a larger active fanbase having had our run in the Premier League - fans attracted by Premier League football hoping it might only be one year in the Championship - a team still containing the likes of Andy Reid, Jerome Thomas, Zheng Zhi etc a team which had still been invested in - the belief that we could make the play offs that season - the dangling carrot of a free Premier League season ticket in the 2008/09 season if we had been promoted that season
At present we have none of those five reasons going for us. It's almost been a whole decade since our run in the Premier League with it looking like 2017 at the very earliest opportunity for it to return which eliminates the first two reasons above for fans attending immediately. Then we come onto the team and whilst we do have some very good players we also have a lot of room for improvement as well unlikely to be improved on in the January window as we'll find it difficult to attract players in our position. That pretty much wipes out the remaining three reasons.
There's no short term fix and personally I think all KM needs is to read Seth Plum's post on the 1st page on what is required which for me will be more effective than a commitee from various sections of our fan base. I would rather the club put together a commitee of people who have valuable business skills and experience to bring to the table. Maybe that's what it might eventually evolve into but I would challenge the commitee (once formed) to bring anything more to the table than what's been posted already in this thread.
It will be interesting to see if we have a football for a fiver day this year and if so, how many people will attend
Bristol City on February 6th is the best opportunity IMO - Tuesday nights are no good and it makes no financial sense with large away support, which applies to all the later Saturday home games. Blackburn on January 23rd is a bit too tight on Christmas to do the publicity. Cardiff on Feb 13th would probably attract heavier police costs.

Good shout but knowing KM we won't have it this year and then she will deny that football for a fiver ever existed in he first place
Anybody who cannot see this as just a gimmic to keep the fans quite for a while needs to wake up and smell the coffee.
I hope the protests continue, we need to concentrate on KM the only visible face of the RD regime. Personally I don't think she is any more than a puppet (albeit a hopeless one totally out of her depth) but we have to show that their way is no way to run our club.
Come the end of the season, if things continue as they are we will be lucky to see more than 3-4000 season ticket sales, then perhaps she will believe it's a little more than 2%.
Sadly RM is a dead duck, for all you "old friends" backing him, beware the ides of march.

Spot on. It's about ambition, the name or number doesn't really matter

That is how it was and that was how it was should be now.
I fear that either the CEO doesn't understand what T20k should be (ie a working group looking at information in detail and often commercially sensitive information such as ticket prices and income levels) or that she or some of her top managers fear admitting that they can learn from fans or that fans with real world marketing and sales experience plus knowledge of the club might have better and more well thought plans than them.
There is a constant theme in these group where the CEO and/or her managers think that flooding the room with staff and too many fans will protect them from criticism.
It certainly works to stop any proper debate but that i think is the aim, if not from the CEO then certainly from whoever it is that is suggesting to her that that is the best format.
Which begs the question - what are they afraid of? People and the CEO realising that they aren't very good at their job maybe.

But when has the current regime brought common sense into its operations thus far ?
Stop putting screaming kids fueled with Haribo right behind me... Have had it every game this season, can deal with the rubbish on the pitch but getting a headache every 90mins is difficult to handle!!

haha - you could be talking about my kids and my mates ones, but to be fair there are plenty of empty seats near us for people to move to
What further concerns me to is I'm sure I recall KM or RD saying at the outset of the tenure that winning isn't the most important thing and the prime focus is the "match day experience" (or something along those lines).
Now whilst this is admirable from a corinthian point of view I don't think it taps into the psyche of most English fans whereby the football comes first and all the niceties are periphery.
And for that reason and ones pointed out in my previous post I think they're approaching things back to front.
Winning IS the match day experience.
Sadly, as a Charlton fan, it's not part of my match day experience

I believe one's planned but I can't recall what match. It won't be announced until nearer the game anyway.
We didn't even get 20k for a local derby against Millwall last season and the attendance wasn't that much over 20k even when Bournemouth took over on the last day. As others have said, this doesn't have a hope unless we're pushing for promotion.
I am in favour of gates of 20000 because if we get that kind of number regularly it means footballing success. Fanny alluded earlier to trying to find out why people are abandoning Charlton Athletic in droves, but for the regime asking that question is scary, because the answer will be it's not us, it's you. Seeing as how they genuinely believe that five managers is indeed a successful strategy, or that only 2% are upset, or that despite cutbacks losses are increasing due to their poor decision making but they think they are running things well, or that shedding and alienating combined years of expertise is a good thing, and that older supporters are a millstone round their necks...as long as they continue to genuinely believe they are on the right track fans will continue to bog off. The loss of face involved in admitting their cock ups is too much to endure, so sacrificing the club seems to be the better option in order to 'be right'. After all if the club dies they can blame the Royal Mail.
But it doesn't. It really doesn't. Especially when RD revolves his selling point around the 'matchday experience' aka everything but the football, and making cheap tickets.. It in no way reflects or positively affects the way our team will be run on the pitch and our recruitment drive for players/coaches.
Put it this way, we carry on as we are footballing wise and 20k magically and somehow happens, now less magically we get relegated, a VERY realistic prospect with the way we are run as we can go months without the right (or enough) players/coaching experience. That's not footballing success, that's footballing failure with lots of people attending who will then shoe off to West Ham or similar.
Also, put it this way, this call for help is an admittance to the fact that RD's plan for our football club will NOT achieve said attendances, nor will it with help but he is trying for that, as who says no to free help!? He knows that fans = safety net of which his plan quite dearly needs. He can't build attendances on the way he runs the football club, hence why he is calling for the fans help.
It's lovely to have a vibrant match day and smashing atmosphere at the Valley come 3pm, but it's also not going to be a) achievable b) attracting hard-core fans, just people sitting there to watch football.
Also, if Virgin get what they want with 3PM Televised matches in the Prem we are a dead team walking the way we are run at the moment. Not to mention WHU's attractiveness and space for new 'fans'.
This is to nullify the protests as they will be drowned out if the attendances pick up and fans view that as a sign of progress. It wouldn't be a sign of any progress.
Footballing success alone won't achieve it either. It took a lot of hard work to get our attendances to what they were even in the Premier League years, and to maintain them after relegation. That Target 20k became Target 40k is an indicator of how successful but also how important that work was.
To create what's essentially a focus group really is not going to achieve what Target 20k did all those years ago. I'ts not what's needed, and I'd go as far as saying it's likely to be a complete waste of everyone's time. I'm wondering if this relentless drive to get everyone in a room reflects a CEO without the confidence or the courage to get the right people working together, regardless of personal differences or issues.
Have or will the Trust be releasing a statement with their thoughts on this T20k campaign?
Regarding target 20,000, the only way you are going to get that Katrien is if you reduce the admission to a fiver. Always used to have one a season. A fiver is about all its worth this season anyway. That may get me back for 1 game1

This statement was put out on the initial announcement. I'm not directly involved but I'm sure further comments will follow when something useful can be said.

The only useful thing that can be said is "RD has spent money on an experienced championship head coach, a new head scout that knows the football league, and at least 5 championship experienced players, he has also decided not to sell any of our youth players" anything else is a waste of time as you will never get 20,000 through the gates without a successful team and coaching staff, no matter what ideas the Trust or anyone will have!

The first appointments to Charlton’s Target 20,000 group have been made today with 10 supporters confirmed for the new panel tasked with driving the campaign to maintain and grow our active fan base.
Supporters have contacted the club over the past week to volunteer for the group, which will also look at improving the matchday experience at The Valley.
Charlton CEO Katrien Meire said: “We are very grateful to all those who offered their assistance. It is really positive to see such a cross-section of our supporters wanting to help out for the benefit of the club.
“Attracting more supporters to come and watch the team here at The Valley – and ensuring we are doing everything we can to make their matchday experience enjoyable - is crucial to us.
“Although we cannot accept every application, we are very grateful to everybody who took the time to offer their help.”
Ten supporters in nine categories have been selected. They are:
Season Ticket Holders - Alison Sampson Supporters aged 16-25 - Will Candy and Rhys Crane Supporters aged between 25 and 35 - Matthew Cowlam Supporters aged over 35 - Rick Everitt Supporters Club members - Brad Knights-Toomer Valley Gold supporters - Martin Banks Supporters with a disability - Tom Acornley Family Stand members - Adrian Simpson Non-season ticket holders / members - Simon Evans
The club hopes to be able to conclude the process with the appointment of representatives in the remaining supporter categories: Corporate hospitality; BAME (Black Asian Minority Ethnic) supporters and LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender) as soon as possible.
The first Target 20,000 meeting, to be held by the end of the calendar year, will be chaired by a member of staff and the panel will then elect its own Chair. Senior club staff will attend each meeting on a frequency determined by the topics to be discussed.
Meire added: “Once this panel has been established the club will turn its attention to creating the Strategy Group which we believe should also be composed of senior Club staff and supporters. It is important this group has the capability of calling on support from the wider Charlton community in order to take advantage of specialist skills, experience, knowledge and ideas.”
