Launch of the Addicks' Charter

very laudable, but that is a BIG wish list .. let's hope it all comes to pass very soon1

Can anyone really see Thomas agreeing to this, and actually mean it, because I can't, he is just so full of bullshit and self importance that it will be "yeah sure" and then forgotten as soon as he leaves the room, nice idea, and I agree with what has been written, but I can't see it becoming a sincere reality no matter who the owner is..🤷♂️1

I like the fact that this isn't specific to TS and isn't just a list of things we don't like about what he does. Makes it easier when talking to him about it to point to things in it where he's been an improvement on previous owners (eg he understood the importance of the Valley from the beginning, where some other owners have considered moving). Also it makes it more relevant when the next owners are taking over, whether that's imminent or years in the future, as they will have seen this before getting involved and will know where CAST stands. Good piece of work which captures much of what I think despite me having had no input into the drafting of it.0

Quite clearly things are going on in the background
Sandgaard could make this very easy for himself and us and avoid anymore rumours and abuse towards him and his family being ramped up
simply turn up tonight say he has tried but things havent worked out and he is looking at moving on and selling up soon but no promises as to when exactly atm
thats all we need to hear but will he be sensible enough to just be honest and say it2 -

If we leap into protests immediately without setting up these necessary steps first, we’ll get a reputation among the wider football community (who let’s face it, won’t care to look too deeply into what’s been going on under TS) as a fanbase that’s never happy no matter who is in charge.3 -

Must be around ten years ago now.
It is absolutely not a money making group seeking validation by hanging around the movers and shakers of the club, but a very decent collective self assembled then elected, entirely with the best hopes for Charlton Athletic at it’s heart.
For £5 a year it is the best Charlton Athletic bargain any serious supporter could get.0 -
I like it - well done lads and lasses!0

Thats what the Trust says.
So I imagine there will be further discussions about how to show that going forward if necessary 🤔0 -

As said elsewhere, i think it helps define the relationship, whether that provides grounds for protest or dialogue, it gives clarity in those terms now and in future. We haven't had that before.
In a similar way the charter could also help with squabbles in the fan-base. which have hampered us in the past, as there'll be more clarity as to what the collective starting position actually is.1 -

Putting the Charter in place now could be a foundational building block in that process.2 -

The consequence is that Thomas now knows as a fanbase (his ‘audience’) we will be actively mobilising to make him sell the club, that’s quite a statement.2
