Plenty of coverage in Belgian media on Friday about expected biggest protest ever, mock funeral, etc, although some assume it's going to happen on Saturday, not Sunday. They will definitely be watching events for Duchatelet-embarrassment potential. Various headlines:
Charlton-fans plannen “grootste protest ooit” tegen Roland Duchâtelet
Charlton-fans kondigen 'grootste protest uit clubgeschiedenis' aan om Duchâtelet buiten te krijgen
Fans van Charlton zijn het beu, nepbegrafenis voor Duchâtelet en co gepland
The annoying thing about a lot of the media coverage I have seen is that Middlesborough are being portrayed as the club in crisis and that the protests were a side note to their problems.
See talksports 'moose' dragged himself away from the buffet to watch the procession! He's normally on in the mornings so hopefully something from him tomorrow.

True but going by some of the chip paper coverage, you'd think the fans carrying a coffin was a regular pre-match tradition!!
Daily Telegraph today referring to 'Boro's problems as "nothing compared to the chaos at Charlton" with coverage of the funeral, whistles, walk out and a nice big pic of the beach balls being cleared.
How's that first month in the job working out for you Mel?
Just watched the Sky footage that I recorded. They really did a great job of expressing the anger of the Charlton fans.
I know I keep bringing this up - but more really needs to be made of the fact that we hired a manager from the Belgian 3rd Division.
And our current manager has already been sacked by our owner three times.
Not really true, he was only on a short contract here the first team. And didn't he resign from Standard Liege to take another job?
He was essentially sacked here the first team, im not sure what happened the second time at Standard Liege but assumed it may have been a similar situation.
Towards the end of the season, Riga announced he would not be prolonging his contract with Standard. Slavoljub Muslin was announced as his successor on 5 June 2015
I was told that the "regime" asked Sky and CP to leave the pitch when the turnstiles opened - to avoid provoking the early arriving fans. Don't know if it is 100% true.

When I arrived at my seat shortly after 2pm there were a handful of Sky cameras recording which did quickly disappear, couldnt see Chris Powell down on the pitch by the tunnel nor did I any of them walking around the North Stand to their box in the East.
though its reported on it just shows how shit the sun paper actually is. as if the funeral march is something leeds created and that no one left on the 74 minute. gawd I hate that paper.

plus Scarborough did it years ago so we are both just copying them.

Wrong, Riga only had a contract until the end of the season with RD, no more no less. Riga came out and said so himself. So not essentially then!!

On Twitter there were a few Leeds fans saying that Charlton should stop copying them. They were quickly put in their place by many more Leeds fans, who pointed out that the two clubs are talking to each other, the funeral idea has been done many times before by different clubs (Wrexham and Preston were mentioned), and the Charlton protest was much bigger.
Makes you wonder if they checked the video embedded in that report or perhaps some of the sarf london venacular slipped through the profanity filter? Some proper Anglo Saxon in there...

Was telling a couple of Boro fans in the Oak... they couldn't believe it.

He also says, "...you cannot ignore the fans". Are you watching Katie?
