THANK YOU CHARLTON ATHLETIC SUPPORTERS
You really made our supporters welcome to express our feelings about our disgraceful owners in a mutually beneficial way. I will never forget those scenes which proved genuine football supporters are a special breed and can interact peacefully for a common cause. Those who marched, those who lined the streets and those who viewed from their bedroom windows and doorsteps, I say thankyou!
The result was immaterial to me. Congratulations on a good victory. The important thing was to demonstrate a unified show of strength which I think was most evident on the day. In my eyes a special bond between the two clubs was created on Saturday and I will never forget it. Perhaps people who were there will look back in a few years time and say: "I was proud to have taken part".
Remember. The fans united will never be defeated. ROLAND OUT. SISU OUT.

This was the first time I have actively taken part in the demonstrations from the March to the ground, outside the main stand, inside the ground and throwing my pig. I just felt I had to add my voice and your right I feel proud to have been a part of it. The Coventry fans were fantastic
We want Roland OUT
We want Sisu OUT9 -
And Sky Blues fans were superb too. Each and every one I spoke to were a credit to their club and I truly hope you win your war. On the drive back oop north, I turned to my son and said remember this day, you may well be telling your own kids that "I was there." I just have this feeling that saturday might have been a turning point for our great club...22

Very impressed by Coventry's fans from the march to the constant noise to their own renditions of Roland out through the game.
Lots of singing on the train back to Victoria too, loud and funny.
Wish them all the best in their fight against an owner which appears to be even worse than Roland.5 -
Well done all that attended. I haven't been to a home game this season and will probably continue to resist. Last year with Brighton tho was a great occasion of one voice, fans united. Good effort CARD and Jimmy Hill organisations. It does make you wonder why these stubborn people remain, when they are clearly not seeming to try and make a return on their investment. Keep the fight up !! #rolandout #sisout

If we are both still stuck with our shit owners - God forbid - come the time of our visit to Coventry in April, I hope we can bring many thousands up to your place for another combined demo..23

Thank you Coventry fans. You were asked to join our mutual cause and did so with good grace.
It was probably the only time I would have preferred a 1 - 0 win to the actual result.2 -

This was an amazing achievement to get two sets of opposing supporters together for one aim. Both sets of fans deserve great praise. Now how about fans united organising one big March on the football league from all affect clubs who have unfit and non proper owners.2

Roland got his wish for opposing fans to mingle - now he has achieved his aim he should sell the club.14

Thank you @WillieStanley1883 and all city fans who could join the march and make it was it was. It lays the path to some sharing of tactics and joint organisation among us and other clubs in the future.2

Was you wearing a red sports rain jacket and came into the lib club to use the toilet?WillieStanley1883 said:My sincere thanks to all those Charlton fans who supported the march and demonstrations on Saturday. I am 61 years old and have supported the Sky Blues since 1964. This was my first visit to Charlton since the 1970's.

Coventry away is now in the diary. If we can help support their cause just half as much as they supported ours then we will have done very well.16

Do Coventry have a forum? I'd like to have a gander...1

Thank you for all your kind comments. I really hope something as good can be arranged for when you come to the Ricoh, although ideally I would hope both our situations have been resolved satisfactorily by then.
To DA9: That was not me. I started at the Anticalligan pub and walked the entire route to the main stand.

I was invited up by Coventry supporters for the return game. Cherry Tree is the name of the pub for a meet and drink with the home supporters; 10 mins from the ground, I was told.WillieStanley1883 said:Thank you for all your kind comments.

Quite difficult to navigate the sky blues site, let alone register, but the discussions are going on here, including one about the return fixture I just noticed;
