    It couldn't possibly be that some naughty club exec told Roly that he was meeting fans when in fact he wasn't ? That's impossible isn't it ?

    That would be weird

    Probably missed it, but,

    Who are the CAFC Target 20k ?
    Do any of them work at The Valley ?
    Are any of them Fans Forum Reps ?
    Are any of them on the C.A.R.D. "board" ?
    Are any of them involved with Valley Gold ?

    Actually, how many people are "CAFC Target 20K" ?


    There are currently 9 fans who form the group, all voluntary, none work at The Valley and none in any other group listed above.

    I had a reply to my email and to be fair, it made the right noises in some respects and the tone of it was about right.
    But with one hand they offer some conciliation and understanding, whilst the other hand is wielding a sledge hammer at everyone.
    It really is a farce.

    "To clarify, when the owner was over in February he met with a small group of fans who are also partners of the club. These are all people who are first and foremost fans and a full and frank discussion about the direction of the club was had with this group."

    Again, I ask, Who are these people ?

    Partners = hand picked, by Tony Cajones, lounge and commercial partners as people least likely to say anything to upset Roland and sworn to secrecy afterwards.

    So secret they won't say who and make up stories about it being the Target 20k.

    RETRACTION!

    I emailed the club and said I was very concerned.


    Hello there,

    I’m a bit concerned by your response as it’s been confirmed as false by the Target20K group? They claim that no member has been involved in direct discussions with Mr. Duchatelet, and they also claim that they will be contacting the club to find out why such a statement has been made.

    I trust this was a genuine error and not an outright lie?

    Thanks,
    They have since reconsidered their excuse, and will offer Target20K an apology.
    ​Apologies for the confusion. You were given the wrong information.

    To clarify, when the owner was over in February he met with a small group of fans who are also partners of the club. These are all people who are first and foremost fans and a full and frank discussion about the direction of the club was had with this group.

    So this was an error for which we apologise to you, and we will also apologise to Target 20K.

    Best regards
    The Supporter Relations Team
    They would have retracted sooner, but we're just getting back from Scotland Yard having slagged off as many supporters as they could!!

    If they can ban as many as they possibly can, they can put their feet up as there'll only be 2% of fans left to have a relationship with!!

    If I was on T20k I would be on the blower right now to little old Kat, demanding:

    A) an explanation.

    b) a statement on the club website immediately explaining that T20k had not in fact met Roland and that any emails received by fans suggesting this were in fact lies. And that the suggestion that Roland met with fans was in itself a lie in the first place.

    I would demand that the word lie is in there.

    It's either this, or he didn't meet any fans at all. If it's as Henry believes, then it may as well have been no fans at all.

    I think I have been included in the apology to T20K from Charlton, I'm not quite convinced by the explanation but I do appreciate their speedy response... I guess.

    I'm still trying to get my head around how someone accidentally said it.

    I was part of this meeting with Roland!

    As was the Tooth Fairy, Santa was there! the easter bunny even made an appearance!

    Jack Frost said the board room was too hot and stormed out!

    OK splitting hairs.
    They were people from the target 20k group, so could be club employees.
    They were also people from the fans forums, so could be club employees.
    This is what they mean by select.

    Quite possible this is the case although they should really just be saying he met club employees rather than imply he met with the Target20k group which he hasn't.

    I'll be in touch with The Supporters Relations Team and see what feedback comes from it.
    The club will tell you that you were there and must have forgotten.

    Nope I I had to read a statement by the flag! Put me off mate!
  • I wonder if Roly believes he met a representative cross section of the support rather than a very select few ? I would like to know how this group were portrayed to RD.

    You were (Shay) given the wrong information.
    It's the fault of the Irish.
    I love that actually, when you're all next called out for a lie, simply say 'you were given the wrong information'.
    Wrong information or downright (the latest in a long line of them) lie.
    So when they say they are hoping to repair relationship with the fans they are giving us the wrong information because they want to reduce the fan base to nil, due to despising us in every way possible.
  • How lower can the management of our football club stoop. Now is the time for Target20k members to withdraw from further discussions. They are being used by management in their efforts to legitimise themselves. In 57 years of supporting CAFC I can honestly say that the current incumbents should be ashamed of themselves. Their time will come to an end - everything in life has a beginning and an end and their demise grows closer every day. And when they go, they should slink away out of the back door with heads bowed in shame.
