My daughter who is a wheelchair user would be affected by this but given the club's attitude here and towards cup matches I think she'll just not bother.0

roly really does demonstrate a winning combination of sociopathy and business idiocy
there's no guarantee of more than 2 home cup games, even including the pointless competition; attendances will be miniscule, so how anyone can quantify a "saving" is baffling. With the prospect of saving no money at all he picks on a disadvantaged group. It's as though he actively seeks opprobrium and hate. Is that masochism, munchausen's syndrome or wickedness?
All the best to CADSA in circumventing this latest transgression.9 -
I'm sure decisions like this will help Roland claw back his £1m p/m deficit...0

Just when ya thought this club with that Cnut in charge couldn't get any lower...disgusting individual of the highest...6

Correct me if I'm wrong, are the covered parts for the wheelchair users in the north east and north west quadrant? If the answer is yes, were they in use last season for the home cup games?
The covered end was closed for those games?0 -
this is disgusting, is it actual allowed though is this not discrimination?1

Pure speculation here but it seems unlikely that Duchatelet was personally involved in this despicable cost-saving measure (although he is of course ultimately responsible) and more likely that he gave a general target to be achieved month on month to drive costs down?
If so then someone at the Club is actually enacting this directive with the training ground cuts to youth team provisions, the reduction in cleaning staff and now this. No doubt there is more which has yet to filter out.
So perhaps one person at least at the Club is still on track for a bonus and will do whatever it takes to attempt to hit the saving figure which RD has decided to pull out of the hat?0 -
Still amazed the Upper West has not been closed yet, if they are going down the route of saving money.Coyotejohn1947 said:Pure speculation here but it seems unlikely that Duchatelet was personally involved in this despicable cost-saving measure (although he is of course ultimately responsible) and more likely that he gave a general target to be achieved month on month to drive costs down?

The only wheelchair bays that the club are making available for any of our home Cup matches this season are at the front of the West Stand, which are un-covered.shirty5 said:Correct me if I'm wrong, are the covered parts for the wheelchair users in the north east and north west quadrant?

The club opened the North West wheelchair balcony for the home cup matches played in November last season.shirty5 said:

So the club close a disabled section and as a means of fundraising you hold the event in the clubs pub?4

Well, on the plus side the club is also cutting back on participation in cup games to mitigate this problem.5

Fucking hell, stay classy Charlton
Our abysmal cup record at least dictates this will have minimal impact on those affected2 -
I don’t have those details but it will certainly not be the cost of an external venue.LargeAddick said:

It's a fair point. When the club held the prostate cancer quiz evening at the Marriott, they got that free of charge.LargeAddick said:

Obviously the club anticipates that our home cup tie with Oxford/Huddersfield will not bring the crowds flooding in. They are already planning a lower west , lower north and Jimmy Seed only cup game. Looks like the sat nav will be being loaded with leauge 2 grounds for next year, the positive vibe emanating from the club is nil.0

No wasn't mentioned and no CADSA rep (nor question raised from what I know).AFKABartram said:Did this come up in the Fans Forum last week guys?

Get it out in the media.
Every despicable move RD makes cutting costs must be highlighted and used against him such as the great job the B20 have done in there leaflet job.4 -
This is utterly despicable. In fact, even for someone like Roland, this is hardly believable.
I hope a number Lifers with connections within the fourth estate, like @LouisMend and @Airman Brown are aware of this. In short, we have a multi-millionaire football club owner insisting that disabled people sit in the rain, to save him money.
I didn't think Roland could do anything more shocking than he has already done. But, yet again, he's lowered the bar.12 -
What is the alternate solution referred to out of interest?0

CADSA are planning to pay for a few covered wheelchair spaces provided they can raise sufficient funding.valleynick66 said:What is the alternate solution referred to out of interest?
