    Who fucking cares about them...
  • Women's team now main topic of discussion ffs. 
    Agree. Really should concentrate on the mens team. Talking about the women’s team is not useful here IMHO.

    Discussion of a statement to be raised at the Fans Forum by CAST

    Discussion of possibility of fan ownership, and in relation to that the current financial position of the club. It's not happy reading...
  • Jon Whitfield talking about fan ownership. Like what he says - he gets my vote
  • I’ve actually no idea who Jon Whitfield is and what he does but he talks a lot of sense.

    Now discussing Bovril and whether or not hot water in bogs should be discussed at Thursday's meeting.

    (I'm not joking)

    Calm down, it was five minutes of an almost three hour meeting.

    (And the point was that those topics shouldn't be raised). 
  • I got a lot out of the meeting. Very well run too. Thanks to @Weegie Addick

    You know food and drink etc is going to get discussed with all due respect. The trust won’t, the fans advisers won’t, but someone else will

    I’m not fully sold on fan ownership for many different reasons, but thought Jon spoke and came across very well.

    I dunno, you raise the poor quality of a certain drink at one meeting, and you never get to live it down...

    I can't see how a fan ownership can work, alongside the "Addicks Charter". 

    The charter requires that the club and 'property' are owned together. That immediately means a fifty million quid cheque to Roland. I'm not going to be part of a group that donates that kind of money to him.

    I *was* listening to what you were saying, and I agreed with most of what you said. It was more that the other fella and you started having a conversation about Bovril.

    After the breaking news from Lucy we all heard during the meeting (Sandgaard obviously hasn't a clue re a manager, that's if he has any intention of getting one), and the fact that league 2 now looks like a real possibility, excuse me if I get pissed off watching a load of people chuckling about Bovril ffs.

    Aside from that, I thought the meeting was well chaired and organised, and it was really good to hear Lauren and Olly speak.

    I don't think fan ownership is viable, especially not with Charlton fans, and I think TS will find the charter thing meaningless (that's if he turns up)

    The main thing I took is that he needs to sell ASAP.

    Agreed with Jon re protests too. If you want to protest, protest. I think getting to the bloke's ego could be the only way.

    @AFKABartram I hope it came across as I was meaning it. Its time to 'stop sweating the Small stuff' and ask serious hard hitting questions!

    A very well organised meeting,  if only some of the speakers were running the club instead of our current owner.

    Good effort, well done cast and others involved - agree 100% with malc - this next one shouldn't be a business as usual forum, this is a nail him down to some answers meeting and if he cops the hump so be it - also agree with John - sick of bleating on and hoping for a good owner - lets start looking seriously into what numbers it would take for fan ownership - how many fans do we have who would be willing to stump up a £1m or more if this was done properly - i bet there would be quite a few - some recognition, some camaraderie and respect to be earned but without the responsibility and hassle of being the sole owner - i reckon some of our previous board members would get involved, bury the hatchet in some instances and come together with some new fans / money as well - people not sufficiently wealthy to carry the can on their own but enough to club together to help - then there's the next tier of contributors which would be much larger in number but obviously putting less in each and then those just putting something in, to be involved / a part of something. Airman's words didn't fill me with confidence that PV has anything concrete lined up - Plan B needs to be progressed !!

    Of course not, I was commenting on their organisational skills, which our current owner lacks.

    Apologies, I was just being facetious.

    Alas, I suspect an organised person with the necessary cash is very unlikely to want to get involved in owning a football club. That's strictly the domain of the ego-maniacs and crooks, both with and without money!

    Once the Bovril is sorted, everything else will follow suit...
