Some will disagree but jeez 2 wins on the spin and rose tinted glasses are put on by some.
We should not be in this league.
When they took over we had an established squad and a couple of extra players, which with Roland's wealth was achievable, we could have pushed for the Prem.
Yesterday only 2 players in the entire squad had played more than 30 games for CAFC and we had yet again no Manager....
We now await the next guy in line for the firing squad, in my opinion it doesn't matter who it is, it's irrelevant.
Last night Leicester won in the Champions League, without a 1st half performance by our goalie we quite easily could have have lost.We were on par with Leicester a couple of years ago. Obviously they have done miracle but look what Roland has done to our club. We are playing in front of a few thousand customers, only 3 years ago in League 1 there were 15000 at the Valley. That is what he has done.
We shouldnt throw anything on the pitch as there is a new guy (possibly) at the helm, give him a chance, it is disrespectful - diddums. Who cares about the new guy?
I want my Chartlon back, will never happen under this Regime.
Glad to hear the protests will be continuing. Yet another new era from the management and ownership that forcibly relegated us last year, sold our best players and replaced them with rubbish, called us racist, lied to us, appointed a boy with a laptop as our head of scouting, shrunk our gates to the lowest they've been since we returned to The Valley, the list goes on and on and on. And let's not forget that the only time our dear owner has chosen to communicate with his customers directly in recent times was when he sent us an abusive message via the club's website.
The bridges have all long since been burned. A couple of victories in a division we shouldn't even be in is no reason to take the pressure off.
Taxi for Roland comes to SE7 this Saturday and we're calling on all Charlton fans to come to The Valley to give Roland Duchâtelet a clear message. Fans able to help CARD for an hour or so before the game on Saturday are urged to email charlton.card@yahoo.co.uk. Thanks!
Support CARD. Rubbish to say give Robinson or whoever a chance. It's RD and KM we are protesting about. It's the regime that must go. As said we have had enough new beginnings and nothing changes. Keep protesting.
Poor form if it turns out to be Robinson's first game. He surely deserves a chance to have an uninterrupted crack at it.
He's essentially asked for the protests to be stopped during the game. Crack on with pre/post match protests and targeting the Belgians personally but when the game starts turn it in.
So when you turn on BBC / Sky & see 3000 pigs stopping the game do you really think it would have the same coverage as 3000 pigs thrown on the pitch at 2.30pm or standing behind the west stand protesting ?
No fans left, no atmosphere, no hope.......let's ramp up the protests. Anyone who takes the Manager''s job is a mug so let''s not worry about his feelings. He will be gone in January.
oohaahmortimer November 17 New manager comes in , wins 3 games on the bounce and plenty of our lame, goldfish like supporters will be salivating at the lips as they prepare to drop to their knees (no mehmet no) in deference to the wonderful Roly and SMT at Charlton .

Robinson, Curbishley . . . doesn't matter who the new 'temporary' incumbent is, the objective is to get these Belgians out! CARD deserve all our backing in their campaign to get our club back. If that means upsetting some gobby scouser or anyone else stupid enough to take on the job - tough!
I just have this sneaking feeling that unless there is more DIRECT action these people are here for the long run. Let's look at a possible January scenario; Lookman plus Konsa go - that could see somewhere near 10 million coming into boost Douchebag's coffers. His crazy plan is to sell at least one promising youngster per season, thereby obviating much of his losses.
I no longer go to the Valley also I haven't been a season ticket holder for some time for geographical reasons. According to this site about 5k still do go and they deserve respect as fellow Charlton fans. There are many ways that CARD can protest and stopping the game has been done and done well. It is now time to find other forms of protest and allow those who do attend to "enjoy" their match
One more thing, I never want Charlton to loose whoever the owner may be and I do find it difficult to understand those of you who don't care about the results of our club, but each to their own.
Yeah let's have 3 or 4 hold ups.Lets see if we can get a Points deduction.FFS.I want the regime out as well - but the team comes first .Great job what CARD did in Belgium and more of the same really brings it home to him.Stopping a game he probably is not watching won't!
I would not be against a points deduction. I suspect after a couple of wins on the bounce you are dreaming of promotion? I will tell you now if the current owners achieve promotion they will be so far up themselves and keen to tell us "told you so" they will be here forever and you will never get rid of them.
Any success under the current regime will strengthen their hand and weaken ours.
Grow up, the only chance you've got of getting new owners is in the Championship. Oh! by the way, they hold all the cards. Pun intended.
Not necessarily. What if we dropped into league 2 and he decided he's losing so much money he'll cut his losses and sell?
And on i don't want us relegated again, i'm just putting a different opinion across.
This time last year many people thought that relegation from the Championship would make him more likely to sell the club....indeed I recall such comments after the Boro match.
Personally, I think we're far more likely to get a decent buyer in the Championship than in L1 or L2.

I completely disagree. If you think that there are many ways that CARD can protest, other than stopping the game and still be as effective in the eyes of the wider world, then please contact CARD with your suggestions. I personally think that every one of the protests that have resulted in match stoppages have been a success and I hope that there will be more to come. I do respect those fans that still go, my brother is one of them, but I cannot bring myself to give money to the regime (other than the Coventry game, when CARD asked boycotters to attend). With regard to never wanting Charlton to lose then I have to say, as much as it hurts me, that I do. As long as we do not get relegated (that would just hurt too much) then I am happy to see us lose matches (except Millwall!). I really don't want Meire or Duchatelet presiding over a promotion, because we would never hear the last of how his lordship's vision is working and we would never be rid of them (I don't accept that he is more likely to sell if we are a Championship club).
If CARD organise an in game protest, that's fine in my book. They have demonstrated commendable intelligence, humour and PR/media savvy to date. Just look at the wider public awareness of our fate - it is the stuff on the pitch, built upon by both of the most recent brilliant Belgian adventures that have created the profile that panics the regime.
For me, it's the Valley Party of the social media age.
Support the team - support CARD 100% - f**k the regime.
The important thing is to carry the support of the "regulars". The majority of people attending matches are against RD, and the last we need is a split amongst ourselves.

Really, I am boycotting but from what I read on hear I do not get the impression that out of the 5 to 6 k regulars that attend each home game the "majority " are against RD?
If we go on a successful run that gets us promoted, what will CARD do then? What if the same were to occur next season? Do the protests continue in spite of our league standing? If the club starts being run in a way that sees success in the league, I'm not sure CARD will have a leg to stand on.

P.s this isn't me sticking up for anyone as we need shot of Roland as his "ownership" is doing nothing for us. We're not challenging for anything yet this season therefore lessons are not showing to have been learned at all. We in my opinion need to better a 9th place championship finish for the protests to stop and prove that the club are really trying for success.

I also want to know what CARD's end game is.
What does success look like to CARD?
Come on Dazzler, a new ownership is the endgame, that's absolutely clear. Everyone knows there are people interested in buying the club, it's public knowledge. What's RD's endgame, in fact what's his game right now, no-one knows because neither he nor the SMT have ever articulated it and all we've seen since they've been here is decline, no success in any shape whatsoever. Success for CARD is an ownership with footballing ambition willing to take the club forward and the fans with them.

Really, I am boycotting but from what I read on hear I do not get the impression that out of the 5 to 6 k regulars that attend each home game the "majority " are against RD?
I think that the vast majority of those attending are anti-roland but that their need to go to the games outweighs their hatred of what he is doing to our club.

The 'we want Roland out' chants at the last home game were a bit half-hearted/pathetic to be honest. Not many fans around me in the covered end were chanting it. I also thought it was a bit daft to try and start it when the rest of the charlton fans were still cheering the replay of the second goal. Reactions on Saturday could prove interesting

Or they don't feel that boycotting games will make any difference

But this just isn't going to happen, is it? He does not have a clue as to how to run a football club and has appointed people to senior positions who also have no idea. If he refuses to sell and seriously wants to take the club forward then he would need to forget his idea of a network and shuffling his people within it, completely change the SMT and to appoint people who have experience. Even if he did this I would still reserve judgement.

CARD have been clear from the beginning that the goal is for RD to sell, and I'm 100% behind that.
