C4FC4L1f3 - you're not going to win this one i'm afraid. I would like to have seen several games forced to be abandoned as only then will RD and KM realise it's the fans that have control, not them.
But it will never happen. Look - we are now relegated. No sign of change ahead. Yet we will probably go down and start next season with one of the highest number of season tickets sold!
All the while there are still fans, several thousand infact, who are prepared to put up with what is going on, there is little incentive for RD to make changes. Remeber - he's not in this for football reasons. Relegation is not an issue for him, if anything it's a bonus! This forces him and gives him the perfect, legitimate excuse to sell players and play youngsters, thereby putting them on display to the rest of the English football system.
Sell a few and he's quids in.
He may believe that now but I doubt it in reality. Our fixed costs will remain enormous next season, especially as they have recruited a load of tosh on reasonable contracts. Our costs are unlikely to be covered by a £3.5m sale (Gomez).
And thats the problem, whatever way you look at RD there is no business plan that makes sense.
Get it Abandoned. Dig the pitch up,let the spinklers off, cascade balls (any) onto the pitch the whole game - fly drones over the pitch, smoke bombs, flares - do it all. All the 'fans' that don't want to do this, can stay away - coz they are clearly the ones that a) don't leave after 74 mins, b) don't care what league we play in c) will still be buying their season ticket when we're in the Vanarama league d) buying burgers at half -time whilst wearing their black and white scarf e) are happy that RD will be selling any player he can get any money for every 6 months f) criticise people from their armchair who are getting up and doing 'stuff' to try to get our club back e) think its not 'fair' on the opposing team .
Well, I tell you what - I don't want anything to do with that - you can have your lidl ol Charlton - you have can have your aspirations for mediocrity (I wish) and failure - and you can stuff them where the sun doesn't shine.
This is the absolute perfect time to try to get Duchtaelet and the club in the dock and in the squirming chair - and you don't want to do anything significant or serious - where have I heard that before?
Shame on you.Shame on you all that are quite prepared to allow some despot to destroy our club - shame on you, shame on you, shame on you all- I will make sure I mention you to my grandchildren.

Seriously think an abandonment would be the right move personally, as said before i'm not the type to sail to belgium or rush the pitch, however an abandonment followed by protests could be our last chance.
I don't like to agree to something like this, because it's not the way of the Charlton I grew up with...
However we have one last chance to show how much we want them out, lets use it.

Force the abandonment, then after that everyone head to the car park to protest.

I think it is more the penny is starting to drop for some fans that bullshit and gimmicks wont work.
The Burnley game is the last stand.
Next season will be like Blackpool - there protests have all but stopped
But the bullshit and gimmicks as you call them are working. Just look at the press coverage - overwhelmingly positive in our favour and they are clearly having an impact on KM/RD. Last stand my arse - it's a long fight and we can't just put a gun to their head like Luca Brazi in The Godfather and say either their signature or their brains will be on the sales contract!
How do you think the press would react if we got an important (for Burnley and promotion issues ) Championship game abandoned? I would hazard a guess that the press would turn against us.

It's not the last stand though, is it ? It's the last game this season.
I think people need to set their expectations, realistically the match isn't going to be abandoned. The last time someone tried to organise a pitch invasion, which is about the most minor thing you could do which might cause an abandonment, it was a massive failure as the circa 200 people who has signed up to it bottled it.
I really think it's a bit rich to describe the stuff that's been done so far as "bullshit and gimmicks" given that you've spent the last couple of months revelling in your extremely gimmicky daring raids into Belgium. I think a lot of the stuff that's been done (including the Belgium trips) have been extremely well thought out, brilliantly executed and have had a profound impact on changing the picture of this struggle we're all engaged in. A few months ago I thought we had no hope of impacting RD, now I think we're gaining ground, let's not dismiss that progress.

So after a pitch invasion and the game abandoned Duchatelet suddenly throws in the towel and sells the club. Can someone explain why he would do that, I'm all ears. Roland knows the fans are very, very upset already, why does he care HOW upset we are?
It's a war of attrition, we don't have a nuclear bomb, and if you think a pitch invasion is a nuclear bomb you are very sadly deluding yourself. Pitch invasions are normally to get initial attention for your cause, we already have plenty of attention, it's keeping it going will be the challenge.
When you can get attention with humour and keep the support of the media what is added by doing the naughtiest thing you can think of short of getting into real trouble?
If you want to show how naughty you can be like a child having a tantrum to show how angry he is because he's not getting what he wants, why don't you do something that's useful as well as naughty, like kidnap Meiere and Murray and hold them for ransom until Roland sells the club.

We went from a simple question into full on NUKES!
Only on CL
Good laugh though - Im trying not to stir up the on the pitch thread but it Is hard not to
However, on the plus side, he's said we're more than welcome to have it and throw it on the pitch, so every cloud ....
