Sorry about that. I was checking and approving registrations until about 5pm but then was involved in meeting preparations and stuff.PragueAddick said:Very envious of all of you who got to see this. My application to join the meeting was not approved…0 -
Sadly, I was unable to watch the Zoom after registering to do so but reading this report made me feel as though I was listening to the great man himself. I could picture him relating all those incidents as if I was present.
I'd like to think we all have a bit of Mick in us ( not in THAT way !!) when faced with choices or decisions to make regarding issues involving the club we love....the most memorable being the battle of all battles- for The Valley.
And then, when many supporters made the decision not to attend home games while RD was our owner, whilst others showed their feelings by protesting both at home & in Belgium.
I believe that the faithful will always have a role to play in the future of our club but having someone "on the inside" who has our back, is worth its weight in , well, a season's hospitality in the East Suite ( just £ 11,125 + VAT for half a season according to the recent email sent out!) and in Mick, we have one very special Charlton Legend, quietly, maybe at times, subversively, beavering away behind the scenes.
Thank you, Mick. PLEASE keep on keeping on.

A great session. Sadly I had to leave in a rush, so never got the chance to say thank you at the end.0

I've checked with Mick, and he says it's OK to share the story about the policing bill. This is from memory, so may not be totally accurate, and I can't match Mick's inimitable style, but basically during the Roland years, he's in a meeting that goes something like this:RD: I want us to have the lowest policing costs in the country
Mick: I can tell you now, that's not going to happen. You can't compare our policing needs with places like Falkirk and so on.
RD: I think it's something we should be aiming for, so we'll see how you've done in 6 months.
Mick: Why would I waste your time saying we'll see where we are in 6 months, when I know now it's not going to happen? We're playing Millwall here in three weeks.48 -
Yes, really enjoyed it. It was a great AGM.0

I understand that a recording was made of the meeting.
Will it be being aired at some point……speaking for myself, even just an audio recording would be good?3 -
Can anyone elaborate?ParkinsonOut said:He had a few stories about Danny Murphy, which showed just what an unpleasant man he is4 -
yes pls0

sounds as though I missed a good evening. Certainly high on list for the people who have done most for the club over the last 30 years or so1

DM came into reception at the Valley and the young female receptionist complemented him on his wristwatch to which he replied that it cost more than her annual salary3

Should of said "yeah it ain't bad and by looking at it it's time I spent a bit of time with you"lancashire lad said:DM came into reception at the Valley and the young female receptionist complemented him on his wristwatch to which he replied that it cost more than her annual salary
Now that is classy.2 -
No, it was just for note taking purposes.ct_addick said:Will there be a recording put out for CAST members who couldn't make it ?
We would have had to agree it with Mick in advance and we think he might have been quite a bit more guarded if he had known there would be a public permanent record of it.2 -

He's only posting what he heard.16 -
Known Mick for around 40 years and he is a terrific bloke. His sense of humour and loyalty to CAFC means that those who know him well would run through brick walls for him.8
