    if you get a response, copy and paste the automated acknowledgement and reply with it - that's what I'm going when they reply to to the email I sent them asking for a signed picture of Mel Baroni.

    They didn't reply the other 5 times I've tried to get it so now I think is the time seen as they basically have to reply. For old times sake and such.

    My email, which I have also put on the statement website.

    I am writing to show my annoyance at the letter addressed to me (and other fans!) and put up on the CAFC website.

    Firstly it is not true that I didn't go the Valley to support the team. Evidence at the game and on TV shows that most supporters were the same. The support for the team has always been very strong bearing in mind our poor position in the league. It is true to say that we also came to ensure that the owner, management and general footballing public are under no illusion as to our dissatisfaction as to the way the our club is being run at the moment. This action was supported almost completely by every supporter present and the many thousands who are not attending because of their total disillusionment with the present management (it is so sad many are currently boycotting or just not coming).

    Secondly, I am astounded that the CEO should continue to defend herself and in particular her comments from the Dublin seminar.

    Finally, I am even more astounded at the comment about who the club should be sold to. A comment made as if it would not be possible to find a buyer. It has been very public that Peter Varney is in contact with a potential serious and credible buyer. Other potential buyers are also rumoured.

    I would be very interested in the clubs comments on the above.

    As it stands it is very unlikely I, or the group of friends I go to games with, will be likely to renew our season tickets for future years while the current ownership and management an in place.

    During our L1 promotion season the club ran a Twitter competition where you had to guess which players were behind a set of Chris Powell masks.
    I won the competition and was supposed to be sent a Chris Powell mask signed by the man himself.
    I never received said mask therefore I shall email now to ask for it.

    RD put it on his dart board

    Sent an email. I will share the response unless, of course, I'm asked not to...

    Subject: Concerning the future sale of Charlton Athletic FC

    Dear sirs

    At what price would the owner be willing to sell the football club?

    Kind regards

    What's the point of this?

    CARD don't want to engage in dialogue do they ? Or is it just to create inconvenience and a load of work for some poor sod (who isn't RD or KM).

    The point is:

    1. To pour more ridicule on Roland and through that, seek the sale of the club and the removal of KM as CEO.
    2. To contribute to making the club "unmanageable" in order to dishearten the senior management team and hasten their departure.
    Ridicule, yes. My professional background is in psychiatry, and I suspect that RD does not only lie somewhere fairly high on the autistic spectrum but also has pronounced narcissistic traits. Ridicule seems far more likely to get under his skin than any amount of violent hostility. We should definitely ramp up the ridicule, and ensure it comes home to him.

    They'll probably send you a Pinnochio mask signed by Squirrel Face (if you're really lucky they might throw in a beach ball to make up for the delay)

    My email, that I'm not expecting a response to.

    As a very loyal and long term fan (feels great to be a fan again I tells ya!), I would just like to tell you that I feel we both need and deserve better communication from the club.

    If you agree, please prove you've listened by doing the following:

    1. Tell me you've listened to me and other fans.

    2. Promise communication will be better in the future.

    3. In 3 months time, reiterate the same promise

    4. 2 and 3 again. Chuckle while you say it.

    5. Sell the club and fuck off. Pretty please?

    Dear Sir.

    I wish for all my details to be removed from your database.
    I have supported Charlton Athletic since 1970, including having season tickets at both Selhurst and Upton Parks.

    The current ownership of MY club have ruined everything.

    I am also disappointed that I was not one of those who have met with the owner, please remind me when and where these meetings took place ?

    Please let me know how I go about removing myself from your system / computers ASAP.

    I look forward to your response.

    Well you know that these emails won't be answered now that Mel has gone.

    Which is why they've all, hopefully, had the Football League copied into them.

    Anyway, I've had a crack. Not that I expect a response now.

    With regard to this statement - http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/statement-3009419.aspx - posted on the club website on the evening of 15 March 2016, could you please explain how this squares with your desire for me to spend £325 on renewing my season ticket?

    I wasn't at the match on Sunday - I have broken my ankle and am unlikely to make many more matches this season - but have full respect for the demonstrating fans. They are not the ones seeking to destroy the club. They are well-organised, passionate and imaginative. Everything the current ownership of Charlton Athletic is not. I am proud to have given the protesters some small assistance at recent matches and hope to be able to assist them again before the season is out.

    I actually live in Charlton - my flat is within earshot of the Valley. Both my parents grew up in SE7, and I inherited my support from my grandfather. It pains me to see the club run into the ground. After sixteen-and-a-half seasons, I will not be renewing until both you and Mr Duchatelet have departed.

    By deliberately seeking to antagonise fans, neither you nor Mr Duchatelet are fit to run a Football League club, and I hope your behaviour will be investigated.

    I also attach the letter I sent you in December 2015, outlining my concerns with your stewardship of the club. I am still awaiting your response to that

    "To whom it may concern,

    I have been made aware of the recently vacated post of Head of Communications. I'd like to introduce myself, outline what I can bring to your organisation and officially register my interest. Firstly, I believe I am the right candidate for not only the position, but your organisation as a whole.

    My illustrious career has been characterised by my unique approach to customer engagement, using my trademark'ed techniques known as the "Fuck'em'all Methodology". This groundbreaking new methodology has been proven to advance the brand value of other great and trusted sporting organisations such as FIFA. To underline this radical approach to PR, I even have a catchphrase: "Silence speaks a thousand words, drunken statements paint a picture"...

    Charlton probably won't win that fans engagement award.
