I will support the team and want it to do well. I will praise and support Robinson and the players. Charlton are my team. But I won't forget we are in League One and we do need to shore up the squad a bit in certain positions to make getting out of it a realistic prospect. There is still time for things to improve, stay the same or get worse. I am not 100% positive about everything relating to my club personally and two one goal victories against Bristol Rovers and Exeter in a League we shouldn't be in and a cup round we shouldn't be in, isn't going to change things that easily.
It's all about not being relegated again and holding on until Roland leaves.
Whilst Roland is in charge, this isn't Charlton for me, it just isn't, it holds none of the ethos, none of the values, nothing is respected by this twat and it never will be. I'm coming back to England for the first time in 7 years, am I going to the Valley, No, because I am not funding something I fundamentally disagree with, it breaks my heart, but I'm mainly numb now.
If Roland somehow got us promoted, I'd feel the same, if we some how got into the prem with this fuck stick in charge it still would feel like I'm supporting a different club, not my club.

Until he is gone Charlton is simply not Charlton.
Wow 'Charlton is simply not Charlton' is far too deep existential stuff for me. How about COYA?

Because these are feelings and instincts, not opinions. When I'm at home refreshing the match thread and BBC Sport every ten seconds for the entire second half and punching the air when the whistle blows I feel just the way I always have. On the few occasions I've been to the ground in the last two seasons I haven't felt the same at all. That's not through choice; it's a feeling.
Saturday was actually the first time in a long time that I felt the "spark" return. That's because of the football we are playing right now.
I don't consider Duchatelet being an impact on any positivity at all.
Good point however I do feel as a boy-cotter I am in a small minority that is getting smaller by the week. It has been said on several occasions that some good English signings, a good start and a few wins would get people returning.
I will be watching with interest when CARD announce their first action for this season.

Apart from the apologists we all want Roland out.
The protests were a stand against the owner and "Roland Out" was the common cause which galvanised protests. Beyond that some people had personal protests - not attending, not buying merchandise, not using the catering, invading Belgium etc. Financially, these are not going to hurt him, they are tokens of our negative feelings, but he is too well heeled and is losing millions enough as result of his own misguided interference to need us to reduce his revenue through ticket sales. His mentality is clear from the remarks of Daisy that we fans don't make much of a financial contribution to running the club anyway.
Mass protests and anything else that gets under the skin of Roland is what has worked to convince him he bought the wrong club and I am sure the "For Sale" signs are up and interference in the squad selection has stopped as a result of the protests.
The protests have ensured Roland cannot get any enjoyment from owning Charlton. He must have been looking forward to bringing his cronies over to London, carousing with Daisy on the dance floor in Crossbars and hitting the London hotspots on a Saturday night for a few lagers and a tango in the Ministry of Sound. Instead he must make do with hicksville Belgium having to suffer an afternoon watching football in a sterile shopping centre when all he wants is a few lagers and grab a few old crinklies to get his rocks off dad dancing.
Not going to watch Charlton when you are aching to get that Saturday football fix is hurting you more than it hurts Roland, and the vindictive cretin would be happy if he thought protesters were suffering more than him. Not many games we have been entertained as much as we have in the last few, why miss out? When you get to a certain age you don't know how many seasons are left to enjoy/suffer.
The danger all the time is that he could, at a stroke, destroy any progress the team makes towards success and entertaining the fans. That is why we all still want him out and I have no doubt the protests will return if he shows he is interfering in the squad for his own financial gain, undermining the manager and ruining then team. Attending a game doesn't mean you have stopped protesting in spirit.
Would suggest that sorties to his home turf to deliver personal messages is an effective way to protest and let him know he still bought the wrong club and hasten him getting rid of the club, without hurting the team or yourself.
Two large and sensitive childish egos with bundles of unprofessiinalism took charlton over back in 2014.
The car crash would have happened at every other club. The fans are not to blame.
I would be interested to see how fans of other English clubs would have reacted towards Roland and the CEO if they were at their club. How would they have handled it?
I find it hard to be happy when charlton win. I am glad, for sure. It's certainly not bad news when you win 4-1 at home.
It's just no where near the same feeling that it used to be. It's not about being in league one. That is not the problem for me in regards to losing interest. Not about what league we are in.
I sort of blame myself for letting the regime ruin it for me in a way. They shouldn't be able to do that but they have.
Such poison.
Never thought anyone would be able to achieve such a thing. Yet, they are idiots.
Will, you're getting like this wind up merchant, stop it. Some green shoots of recovery on the pitch but nothing's changed as far as the owner and useless CEO is concerned, Regime Out!
Have they learnt / understood from previous mistakes...?
This is the first season since their takeover that they have left full control of club to management. Have provided funds to build a competitive team. I know it's only a few games in but a loss or few doesn't mean Rloand Out chants and pigs on the pitch does it..
If we were in the championship then would obviously be less of a problem but we all know the relegation was avoidable..
I believe the team Robinson is building is not only competitive for a league 1 promotion charge but that also funds would be available for additional to make a championship challenge next season..

We are so fu***g shyte I can't even laugh at the Nigel's!!
