Well done to all involved today...we got some great exposure on tv again...commentators were in the most sympathetic and didnt say any good things about Pinnochio or Duchatelet...Murray gets off lightly yet again.
The regime will pretend it's people lining up to renew their season tickets after yet another glittering performance from our Premier League caliber squad.
From Twitter-: Thank you #bhafc for joining us in the protest against the awful regime. Top fans! Good luck for promotion, #cafc support you all the way
No that wasn't me, as soon as the blinds came down, I told them in the suite that my match day experience had been spoiled and came down to join the protest. Totally unnecessary to do that today, those running our club will never learn. When outside I did ask Mick Everett why it was considered necessary to pull down the blinds and he said it wasn't his decision.
From Twitter-: My dad was just manhandled and pushed away by #cafc stewards and staff after asking to use the Bartrams toilet. Disgraceful
I was there. Stewards were not allowing supporters to use the toilet. Then 3 blue vested stewards rushed a man with grey hair. I guess your Father. They all grabbed him and "ran" him outside. My son said they pushed him up against a wall and then fans who were outside came and rescued him. Police then arrived and sealed off Bartrams for a bit. Blue vested stewards continued blocking use of toilet for a bit, then allowed single visits to toilet. I would guess that original fear was that protesters were going to try and force there way into reception by the back door which is not really protected as they have to let out some supporters out this way. Total over reaction by stewards. Seemed to me they were looking to make trouble not prevent it. Some were recording events so I am sure more to come.
I think they over-reacted because they were seriously caught out when we easily got into the West Stand to protest at the Directors Box with 10 minutes to go. Probably got well and truly bollocked by Tony Bollocks.
Well the poor steward who tried to stop us couldn't do much, him , you can't come in after you left, me I'm coming in , him , you just do want you fuckin want then, me yep I am, followed by 30 others.

Same here, except he ran off like a kid going to get his big, harder brother.

All the support and love he will have given the club over the years and he can't even use the toilet. I explained to my mum that I won't be going next season last night and why - I am 51and she couldn't believe it, saying, 'but you have always gone since you were a boy'! I have supported this club with all my heart and with my money. Through thick and thin. Yesterday could be my last visit for a game for years - who knows? I said goodbye to the fans who sit by me - they are not renewing either. How can they make this happen to Charlton crazy people - I am heartbroken. This has to be one of the most staggeringly incompetent ownerships in the history of football.
Twat had no balls as I had my 14 year old son with me and two of his mates
Me and @WSS went in the other exit to hook up with you and the others and one stewards reaction was to burst into tears. We hadn't even done anything at that point!
Proud to be part of that, they didn't have a clue it was coming
Is there any cctv, pics or mobile phone footage of this incident?
I was in the suite above and started to film the incident as it looked as though @seth plum was being very roughly treated. Unfortunately by the time I had got my phone ready, most of the action had taken place and there isn't much to see.
Very soon after, the blinds were pulled down in the suite and as that spoiled my 'match day experience', we decided to leave and came down to join the protest.
It is shame that after using various hospitality suites over the last 15 years, we have only one more visit and my last few memories will be of confrontation instead of enjoyment.
ME14addick thank you for your kind words, and your kind words yesterday. Thanks to the Charlton and also the Brighton fans who stepped in outside and extricated me from the grip of whoever it was behind me and was propelling me, I was unable to see who it was who had grabbed me and was manhandling me.
