People might not agree with the trust but what are the ramifications of working against the Trust
If you disagree with its methods or principals then surely its better to join and try to argue for another direction rather than just ridicule it
"A house divided, cannot stand" is what it feels like a bit within the fan ranks at the moment
There is so much bickering outside the trust with everyone wanting to be "Mr Charlton" that it makes me wonder if the club can survive with so many divisions
I know people have had problems with the trust for whatever reason in the past.
There are some pretty evil characters with some major influence in the direction this club taking at the moment.
We are far far stronger together than against one another. Please consider joining the numbers to fight against those who are actively working to destroy this football club.
I have not been a member of the trust for very long ( I think this is the second year) but I cane to the conclusion that all the Board are talented and well meaning and give up a huge amount of personal time representing us as fans.
If I want my views represented better, or more forcefully, the best thing to do is to get involved and to add your own views to those of others and if you feel strongly enough, and have the time and inclination, tii ok seek to join the Board.
The Trust tries to represent every member, as it should, and that can lead to some inertia. If you would like less inertia, participate strongly and you will have success.
Being part of the CAST team can't be much fun. You give up a fair amount of your time (for free), manning a stall at games, compiling weekly email bulletins, attending meetings all over the place and maintaining an annually renewing membership. There is an obligation to represent our supporters as professionally and competently as possible which can be taken as weakness by some who would rather they spoke more aggressively or asked the sorts of questions to which they would have no chance of getting an answer. Today's exchange is the perfect example of why we should all back the "boring" CAST team. If you want to change things, join and get involved. If not join and pay your fiver - it's the price of a pint, once a year and it does nothing more than cover basic admin costs. Getting the membership up to 2000 would be a perfect Southall legacy.
Thanks everyone, it's changing by the minute almost but 134 so far have joined today, strangely most of them from mid afternoon onwards, no idea why.......
No idea why, if true, surely going to drive up membership numbers!
Um, if true, that would be because he’s a prize twunt and anything he gets out of his involvement in Charlton must be one of his last footballl paydays.

Around 50 short of 1500 members now it seems

Greenwich and Woolwich MP Matt Pennycook became the 1448th member of Charlton Athletic Supporters Trust when he joined last week.
What's that slogan beloved of unions? Stronger together?
I have a feeling the strength of the fans may be tested again in the not-too-distant future, and CAST will be the rallying point.
