Does Martin Simons support the protests

I noticed former chairman Martin Simons amongst those attending Saturday's post match protest. Does this indicate that he is anti the current regime, despite his close association with Richard Murray who firmly sits in the Belgium camp?

  • That's interesting...
  • Martin is a friend of a friend so I'll try and find out at the weekend :wink:
  • I recognised Martin by the size of the cigar he was smoking.

    Lie in a minute, she's going to lie in a minute.

  • Martin was definitely hanging around at the start of the demo - talking to Craig Norris.

    Craig tried to get him to stay, but I think he thought it better to move on. By his body language and chuckling at some of the ditties, I would have thought he didn't seem to object too much to the protesters.
  • Would not expect anything else. Great bloke and solid Charlton
  • I'd be amazed if we didn't have Martin's support.

    And David White's ?

    We used to say that about Judas too. (Not that i am suggesting that Martin will Do the same thing).

    Im sure I saw Dave verbally supporting the protests in another thread or at the very least he was anti regime. But Im sure he can speak for himself here ;-)

    Two totally different individuals.

    was standing alongside them, Craig had his Pinocchio mask on, Martin had a decent looking cigar as well.
  • Has anyone ever seen Martin without a cigar? :-)

    Yes
  • Bit hidden away?

    Will the Trust still seek dialogue when he has gone or when he is dead through a medium?!

    So is the Trust aim now again,despite the latest poll, to try and get on board with Duchatalet and friend Murray, and get them to change their strategy?
  • Well I guess Chappell,Sumners and Whitehand support it and are no friends of Murray as they openly came out and said they would talk to Investors about their loans.
    Dave White has been seen standing up every time the call to do so is sung and apparently rumour has it Roger Alwyn,Derek Ufton and Richard Collins are distressed by the state of the club.

  • I've had various conversations (haven't spoken to everyone, and am not going to name the ones I have or attempt to speak for them) but I'm not aware of a single former football club director* from 1992 to 2010 who isn't sympathetic to the protests and wouldn't like the current regime out. They are Charlton fans, after all. Neither have I found a single one who has been supportive of Richard Murray remaining on the board at this point. I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

    All six former elected directors are also supportive (not sure about that Hayes fellow) as are all the former staff I know.

    *excluding Jonathan Fuller, Steve Waggott and Nigel Capelin, who were on the board as employees, were not supporters, and whose views if they have any I can't guess.

    As usual he keeps his opinions to himself
