I got sympathy today from a spanner. That's just how bad things have become. Time to piss off Roland.
Same here, but not just one, a whole group of them, along the lines of "Normally we'd be laughing at your plight but we realise how tough you have it with that Belgian in charge".
Good statement, great rebuttle. Nice response CARD.
GET OUT OF OUR CLUB!
Technically it's his club, not ours and if you are one of those that's no longer going to be attending matches he's probably not going to consider you as a customer either. Out of sight, out of mind.
You could be an Addick living on the other side of the world, not having gone to The Valley for twenty years, but it would still be your club, not Roland's.

Last saw them in the 60's and never stpped supporting. You are so right. Never regretted moving to Australia but always seek out news of the addicks
Who can we send ideas so it's not out there in the public domain for the club to see?
Please send anything to myself or @Davo55 and we'll make sure anything potentially viable goes on the list for debate.
As an aside, Many apologies for anyone who has inboxed me over last few weeks and I haven't responded to yet (I know there are a few). I'm literally getting hundreds of inboxes a day what with this stuff and General CL stuff and I'm reading them all but just can't keep up,with replying to all at the mo, cheers!
I am sure members of CARD are already doing this, but it is important to put yourself in the shoes of the enemy with a view to considering what their strategy may be. I am sure there is an element of siege mentality amongst Meire and her diminishing support team. I suspect that they are looking towards the end of the season when there will be a three month respite from match day protestations, which might give them an opportunity to re-group. In my view, it is extremely important to maintain the pressure during that period. A season ticket boycott will ensure financial pressure is maintained, but we have to keep up the mental pressure by some means. We do not want her and her support team to be refreshed once the 2016/17 season is under way.

For Christ's sake man what are we paying our Charlton Life subscriptions for, pull your finger out!
As an aside, I was informed by a very good authority that Meire instructed Mick Everett in no uncertain terms that it was his responsibility to ensure that Saturday's funeral procession did not go ahead. I understand that Mick told her that he had no authority over events outside the confines of The Valley.
Firstly, well done all who have had a hand in organising the protests - I'm sure I am far from alone in appreciating all your efforts.
I couldn't stop laughing yesterday - after all the protests and media coverage I got an email from the club asking if I'd like a season ticket next year!
CARD would like to thank the thousands of Charlton supporters who took part in the protests that it organised at yesterday’s match against Middlesbrough.
As well as the many fans involved in the advance planning, more than a hundred supporters volunteered to help before the game with distribution and other essential tasks. We are grateful to all of you - and to Sky Sports and other media for the excellent coverage provided.
Our protests will continue, including at the next home match against Birmingham City on April 2nd.
CARD has noted the statement issued by the club. We wish to remind everyone that the Charlton management refused to meet disaffected supporters in both March 2014 and February 2015 despite specific requests from the Charlton Athletic Supporters’ Trust and others to engage in a constructive dialogue.
Promises to improve communication were made at a video-recorded meeting in October last year and repeated by chairman Richard Murray in January. However, by mid-March these promises are still substantially unfulfilled and appear to be understood by the management as an opportunity for them to repeat the same superficial and flawed analysis, more loudly, more slowly and more clearly.
We believe that supporters have fully understood the "unique offer" for the club's future expounded by chief executive Katrien Meire in Dublin last October and by owner Roland Duchatelet in February, and that they reject it.
Taking all the above into account, CARD therefore views any statement from the club’s failing management making vague promises of future improvement with considerable scepticism. as utter bollocks.
Great riposte. We aren't going away and hopefully it is going to get more and more extreme, angry and hostile, and the West lower needs to be invaded at a future game. Right in their smirking faces.

If true, unlikely to indicate that Ms Meire abandoned a great career in the legal profession....

Having read on this post that support etc is coming in from fans from other clubs for what CARD is doing,would it be worthwhile trying to galvanise their support somehow with an online petition. It could even attract support from abroad aswell???
If we're getting support from other fan bases why not try and use it somehow.If RD and the regime hear of opinions going against them from the wider football community surely that's another chink in their armour? If an online petition has enough profile and publicity ie get the football media involved eg talksport,sky and so on then it worth a shot. It would be one way getting non Addicks fans adding their voice to the campaign.

But just before we invade we all put on the same high viz as the stewards.

Joking aside excellent stuff. They have massively underestimated our fan base.
Past 2 years have been a watershed moment for the club and its support. and we'll emerge stronger for it once the current regime go.
Cannot wait for that day and I bet we will get 20k+ at the following home game. I will be there throwing my loafers at Duchatelet's toppled statue.
you can see that we have all the ACES;
And the owner has all the JOKERS.
FunnyFanni.
That was nearly as good as one of your cracking one liners...
