Can’t help but think that far too much detail and importance is being linked to this affiliation aspect7

Not sure. @MadGerman has all the details, but the merchandise the NA Addicks have invested in is the deal breaker for them.Rob7Lee said:
Not sure how that effects being affiliated - or are you saying NA Addicks wanted to use the term Addicks International and that someone was already registered as International Addicks? I thought both were turned down? (only going by this thread I have no inside knowledge!)PragueAddick said:
That isn't the problem . Its rather that - and this is nobody's fault - you have international groups that already existed before this initiative started. I believe (and @MadGerman can confirm if I got this right) that the North American group have invested money in merchandise, and it bears the legend "Addicks International" or something like that. I can think of solutions in terms of names, but not a solution that won't result in the NA Addicks finding their merchandise a bit redundant.Rob7Lee said:I don't recall reading anything that said you have to be within a certain geographical area.

Quite possibly. The benefits (other than the priceless tour round the museum) are a bit vague at the moment but that could change and it is, IMHO, as much for the club as for the groups themselves. Then again, that there is this interest and debate shows the idea, if not the execution, is sound.AFKABartram said:Can’t help but think that far too much detail and importance is being linked to this affiliation aspect
Scottish Addicks (not sure what they are called officially) have signed up according to someone on twitter (who I assume is Mr @Weegie Addick )
@MadGerman "United Nations not otherwise connected to an affiliated Group Addicks" might be a bit too much
But I can see why "International Addicks" for a group based in North America raised eyebrows. It's a bit all encompassing.0 -
North London based fan club?0

Was their membership addresses checked?The point with the group in North America is, they started before the announcement of the club. They've chosen the name "Addicks International" and orderd t-shirts, scarves, sticker and more with the group's name on it. After that they got in contact with the club over affiliation. They coudn't solve the issue wiht the name and pulled out.We, as "International Addicks" came a bit later, but we became aware of the North American group and are in contact with them.1 -
The North American Charlton Athletic Supporters Club just became official recently as well!

Seriously, if there are enough people great time to start a group0 -
I don't believe either the Chair or Secretary of Charlton Fans in Scotland post on here. The Secretary happens to be called Robert but is not my husband.Henry Irving said:

Strangely there are at least three "Heathers" and three "Roberts" in the group. Myself and Mr W are mere members and intend to keep it that way.
Isn't it briiliant that we have found so many Addicks North of the Border?1 -

No FF for c18 months now..
Some people may not see the value of the meeting, but the best moment for me was when the group united to tell LdT it wasn't going to let him manipulate the FF to apologise on behalf of CAFC fans for some graffiti in Belgium.
1 -
That was a very united front and it was a flat refusal to apologise on behalf of the fanbase, something we had no mandate to do even if there was an act to apologise for.
The evening was very bizarre from start to finish. Graffiti gate, plus LdT announcing that they were going to demand the Football League bought Charlton for a pound and almost expecting us to applaud and support the notion.
It all seems such a surreal time in our history.0 -
Bromley Addicks chair Ian Wallis @killerjerrylee raised the issue of no fans forum meetings with the new fans liaison officer, Lucy Bishop, last week when she joined our zoom meeting.
She said there were plans for a meeting to be held but there were no details or dates.
I believe Ian has been in touch with her since but haven't heard anymore.0 -
Lucy has confirmed since the Bromley Addicks meeting that a Fans Forum meeting is high on the agenda so hope to hear further very soon.0

Lucy is seeking thoughts on the Fans’ Forum:
