I'm loving this stuff - even though I don't know what it says! It's just great to see the words 'Roland Duchatelet', 'Charlton' and 'Roland Out Today Party' in so many articles in the Belgian press. Would love to be a fly on the wall when Roly sees these.
I tried joining ROT last night but couldn't see the paypal thing to join. anyone help with this at all?
@cafcwill if you don't get any joy here, PM me and I'll send you my bank details, you can send me the £10 via internet/'phone banking and I'll pass it on to ROT - I've done this for a couple of people already.

The ROT "call centre" is somewhat smaller than Roly's one at Stayen - a one man band to be honest! - so there may be a delay before you get a response to your email! Especially if "our agent" is eating his breakfast or driving to work...
However, I'm sure contact will happen - just not instantly.
Good to see more Addicks coming on board with this.
Roland Duchâtelet According to the party, it quickly went downhill with Charlton since the arrival of Duchâtelet. "Since becoming owner of Charlton, his influence has turned out to be catastrophic.

'AGOST held a certain conflict of interest with its NV Stayen (the operator of the stadium)', says Barnes. 'People have to understand how that situation was admitted.

"I want to give as little attention as possible to these rejected core supporters of Charlton", responds Roland Duchâtelet, in a newspaper where he apparently has a good relationship. Thus giving excellent attention to ROT!
Doh!!! Where's Pitch PR when you need 'em, eh, Roland?

This is the man that considered it perfectly reasonable to use duct tape to repair his shoes, so I think PR is beyond him. Perhaps he thinks it stands for 'Praise Roland'...

In an ever-escalating quarrel, fans of the English football club Charlton Athletic founded the political party 'Roland Out Today' (ROT) against the Belgian club owner Roland Duchâtelet.
With the slogan 'For sports, for respect, for transparency', the party wants to stand up in Sint-Truiden in the municipal elections in October . The 'party Roland Out Today' is an initiative of a group of dissatisfied fans of British third-division Charlton Athletic as a protest against owner Roland Duchâtelet.
One fan group, The Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet (CARD) , has been working for years before the departure of Duchâtelet. The angry fans are now going a step further by establishing a political party and increasing the pressure on Duchâtelet. "We want to encourage the Truienaars to take a critical look at the business activities of Duchâtelet from the time he was in the city council, and to ask questions," says party secretary John Barnes.

CHARLTON FANS SET UP POLITICAL PARTIES AGAINST ROLAND DUCHÂTELET
Photo: © Photonews
Roland Duchâtelet did not make friends with his passage at Charlton Athletic. The fans of the English third-division team have repeatedly protested against the Belgian businessman, and are now going a step further.
The supporters of Charlton want to establish a political party against Duchâtelet in Sint-Truiden . It must bear the name 'Roland Out Today', ROT for short, reports Het Belang van Limburg .
The supporters are tired of Duchâtelet ruining the London club. The design of 'ROT' is irritating the strong man. With leaflets in the mailboxes of the Truienaars they hope to get support from the man in the street.
They are also looking for candidates to be on the list, in exchange for a premium that generates 1,200 euros. Two people have already reported.
