Like to say a massive thanks to every cafc fan who's responded to this so far, we were expecting to take some criticism over choosing the non aggressive approach, could have gone further, but we saw the value in appearing out of the blue, at his ground, his café, and embarrassing him like that, it left him massively uncomfortable and wondering how the hell we found him and managed to stage such a class hit and run protest so to speak. Its great to see that everyone so far has supported that decision. And then for him to get wind everyone in st Truiden has had a leaflet with his name and face all over it, and for CARD to rock up with a massive public protest with the taxi, huge media coverage, typical class from cafc fans, couldn't of played it any better in my opinion.
Absolutely spot on. There was no need to be confrontational, as the point was made and he was obviously suitably embarrassed. Being confrontational will always be the last resort, but hopefully his patience will run out before ours.
No idea who this intrepid group of urban guerillas are, but I understand they represent my aspirations for the future of our football club, and are doing something to try to bring about positive change.
I suspect, during thier previous visits, they've made connections with locals, many of whom share in our derision of RD, who are happy to leak information in order to assist the protests.
Congratulations and a big thank you to all involved.
Well played all. Hopefully the press pick up on it, especially him in a restaurant whilst the game was on. You should have stayed to give him updates of the score.
Belgium20 Trip 1 - Banner in the stadium (arrested) - Roland heard on conf call at the valley going mental! Belgium20 Trip 2 - Leaflet his flats and leaflet parents- The Statement and Katrien's rants Belgium20 Trip 3 - Leaflet whole town and crash his birthday lunch - Possibly coming to the valley this week SELL OUR CLUB!
Amazing that most of this has been funded separate to the protest fund and it just shows how amazing charlton fans are!
Apparently they were supposed to invite people to his party in the square with CARD today.

Is this in the pipeline or a guess?
I would say get ready for a valley protest today tomorrow or Wednesday.
Excellent job. There was no need to be confrontational, you embarrassed him in front of his family and in a public restaurant, these kinds of things may well hurt him more than confronting him, as he can't try to claim the moral high ground. Charlton fans continue to amaze.
Thank-you all . You are special. Keep it non confrontational and when they try and play the victim, which they will, they will get far less support. Magnificent effort. I'm confident RD will be gone in 12 months.
Think you played it perfectly, non threatening, no confrontation just completely and utterly humiliated him infront of people he actually cares about. Brilliant.

And if they care about him, let's hope they ask him whether owning Charlton is worth the expense and hassle.
Fantastic work by all involved, The 2 Percent and CARD.
Sadly, any protests at The Valley, as good as they have been, are easy for him to ignore or be dismissed by Katrien Meire. Humiliating both of them in their homeland really is the only way forward and in my opinion is the quickest route to forcing them out of our club.

Non confrontational is the way forward as others have said. It's essential we do not allow them to take any kind of moral high ground
