Just got back from picking some of the bulkier items of the2percent's equipment. The band were rehearsing, they sound great.
Roo is very very excited at his first roady experience.3 -
Wind drops tomorrow. It will all be fine. It will be sunny. I love the journey through beautiful Kent to the coast, the smell of the sea, the white cliffs slipping away, the sense of leaving the island for the great continent. I always dreamed of making this journey because Charlton were in Europe. Well, on Saturday, we will be.Arsenetatters said:Just happened to be looking at the P and O ferry website and at the moment crossings are delayed up to 150 mins. Doesn't say why but I assume tricky seas

To all those that will be there, please remember that althought you are there representing yourself and your family connections, you are there representing me and my family, and many many others who can't make it there.
In years to come, you are the ones who took part in a big slice of Charlton history, you travelled many miles, over (or under)land and sea.
Thank you from me, and my family40 -
Just so everyone knows, 'Operation Unity' commences at 11am tomorrow, with most of the B20 starting off, and looking to be in ST by circa 5pm setting up base camp, digging the trenches, and generally fraternising with the locals (all part of our undercover work of course). We will probably start posting from 13.00 with pictures from Eurotunnel etc and keep that going during the day.
Good luck everyone going - and see you in Belgium !32 -
Very nice words cafckev.
It's true. Well played to each and every one of that are putting yourselves out this weekend to protest and make yourselves heard.
I'm selfishly off to Belfast to a family party with my whole family. I'm really looking forward to that but feel torn as would love to be with my fellow fans.
Well done to the organisers of every single part of this. Huge amount of effort gone into this and I know it's going to be a massive success
Safe and successful travels my fellow Addicks. Give him hell!
Looking forward to watching it all unfold.

I spoke to Dan of the2percent today and he is hopeful we will be able to stream footage of the band off one of the Facebook pages.

Be fair, you don't need the coat to be very silly.PragueAddick said:
They are pessimists. If you had their weather, you'd be pessimistic too. That's actually the idea behind their gear. Built to celebrate the worst.oohaahmortimer said:slag off the norwegians but take one of their raincoats for the monsoon like conditions we will encounter
I'm still expecting the rain will clear and I will look very silly in that coat while you will doubtless be wearing a protest tee-shirt and shades.2 -

STVV (GRAS) warming up for this too, this is their Forum...
INVITATION
To support our message to Duchâtelet we will meet Saturday, March 4th, 2017 at the Grand Place of Sint-Truiden at 17:45. We will protest against the current construction NV STVV - NV Stayen and calls of sporting success again be a priority, and then in a march to draw Staaien where we will continue the protests before the game against Eupen.
We can hereby confirm that will travel a large group of Charlton Athletic supporters from London to protest it. As you may know, they have been protesting for more than a year against Duchâtelet in an attempt to convince him to sell the club.
Do you remember how proud we were to cheer for the Canaries? Do you remember "Hell Staaien"? Let us return fueling the familiar fire and enthusiasm of STVV STVV and re-create a real club.11 -
The Grand Place, is that the main town square?The_President said:STVV (GRAS) warming up for this too, this is their Forum...

Actually, if anyone is in Grote Markt early and looking for a place for a beer/coffee - the Bacchus bar is very nice,very cool/friendly people and might even have my Charlton scarf on show !2

One hour ago - received a message from Mo Emery in the USA.
A supporter dating from the late 1950s who has lived in America for over 40 years, he wished everyone going over to Belgium all the best.

Anyone going from or through Greenhithe for the 6:45 coach tomorrow? A pick up or shared cab would be great.0

BBC weather still says light rain starting in Brussels at 6pm and heading east to Maastericht starting 9pm.
St Truiden is in the middle, so I'd guess light rain starting at 7.30pm. Anyone's guess really whether the march will be dry or tipping it down.
Either way it won't be as bad as Yeovil, Swindon or WBA away.0 -
People going from Folkestone, is there somewhere to leave the car fairly near the coach pick up point?0

If we are prepared to get very wet - anything better than that will be a nice bonus!3

Whatever happens with the weather absolutely nothing can P*ss on your parade.
A fantastic effort by all concerned in the planning, funding and commitment of those going on befall of those of us that can't make the trip.
My heartfelt thanks to everyone of you for fighting for the future of our famous old club. Enjoy yourselves stay on the right side of the law and Godspeed.15 -

If I wasn't going to Belgium I'd envy your trip to Belfast, it's a great city. Have a wonderful time with your family and thanks for everything you do for Charlton.Curb_It said:Very nice words cafckev.

My weather app has become more optimistic about the Saturday morning weather in Welling. Rain should have stopped before most of us set off. @Addickted can vainly put his foot down on the M2, as the Eurostar swishes past him.0

M20.
Will be driving very cautiously after seeing the weather - particularly the drive home on Sunday. Train may have been the sensible option.0 -
Go well fellow Lifers and Addicks and thank you.2

Yes, banter aside, get yourself there and back safe and sound. It isn't a race.Addickted said:M20.

Edit: For the younger fans amongst us it's an Amphicar from the 60's, check out the Black & White protest shirt which is included.

Can't get there , but there in spirit. Good Luck and best wishes to everyone making the trip.5

Same here mate. Already committed and wishing I hadn't!blackpool72 said:Big regret for me is that i am going to Northampton and not Belgium, but I had already committed before Belgium was announced.
But i will protest in Northampton as loudly as i can and will be with you all in spirit.
Good luck everyone and let's hope it encourages Roland to sell up sooner rather than later
Good luck to the overseas army in Belgium, hope all goes well and the weather doesn't interfere with getting the message across....and thank you for your efforts too....I salute every single one of you. COYR!!3
