Free entry and all Addicks welcome

We have four more provisional meeting dates agreed for the 23/24 season which we'll confirm when the fixtures are out.

In the meantime follow us on twitter @AddicksBromley

Another very good catch and will make for an  interesting and enjoyable evening.

Bookies favourite to replace phillip Schofield.

Fumbluff

For the avoidance of doubt, that joke should be rewritten as “Bookies favourite to replace Phillip Schofield presenting This Morning on ITV”

Will we be able to submit questions via WhatsUp?

Well, @castrust have done it again 

We announced this meeting back in May.

Tonight the Trust announced a meeting for the same night.

Just like when they announced a meeting the same week as a Bromley Addicks meeting last season.

All that work down the drain, Scott only available during the closed season due to his media work, Hall hire fee wasted.

Will the Trust do the right thing and cancel their meeting? Will they fuck.

As this is the second time the Trust have done this in recent times, after assurances it's not deliberate, I'm confident they will do the decent thing and change their date.
It's very surprising as I wouldn't have them down as incompetent.

Rob

Come on @castrust. You know it makes sense.

I'd like to think @castrust have been in contact with Bromley by now.

They have and do not wish to cancel the meeting that they have double booked (for the 2nd time), despite assurances they wouldn't do it again, despite having been given notice of our meeting 46 days ago, despite our meeting being on the official site 34 days ago.

However, they have kindly offered to do a full write up of their double booked meeting for any Bromley Addicks like myself who would like to attend but are unable to simultaneously attend both meetings (once again).

It's sad, so sad, it's a sad sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad so sad, why can't we talk it over
It always seems to me that sorry seems to be the hardest word.

Tell them to poke the write up.
Did they give a reason for the double booking?

Why do you need to cancel the Bromley meeting?

Look on the bright side, 5 years ago the the Trust Chairman a week before the season gave an interview to a website linked to our oppenents on the opening day stating he was not happy with our choice of  Manager and stating who he would have preferred in charge.

This time they are backing our Manager at the same stage of the season so we have sort of made progress!

killerjerrylee

We won't be cancelling. Our Scott Minto evening goes ahead and hopefully the Trust will do the decent thing and move back seven days so people can enjoy both and don't have to make choices.

It's good to see the trust supporting other clubs, just a shame they can't support their own supporters groups.

A very good point.  They must have forgotten we are all meant to be on the same side.

"Their focus was on getting a date that worked for Dean and other parties".

B@llocks to you.
We've got the manager in, stuff your meeting

I'm proud of The Trust making a stand against the peoples republic of Bromley , they are a palace area and should be treated with such disdain .

Did they contact Bromley beforehand though stating the meetings might clash?

Absolutely crazy, I am certain that Holden would have been able to attend other dates, I can only assume CAST wanted to meet him before the season started.

Either way, all very unnecessary.

No, they had all our dates (again) by e mail and ignored/forgot to refer to/didn't have any regard for them.
Take your pick which it may have been (again).

Coupled with the fact that almost certainly they post, or at least read this forum and knowing full well of the Minto date.

It's a shame none of those on the trusts board don't post on Charlton life.

Come on Trust speak up

DaveMehmet

The trust not really operating with the best interests of the fans. Shouldn’t that be their raison d’etre?

LargeAddick

The silence is deafening.

There may soon be an outbreak of common sense. They are trying to move their date.

That is good, but it should not have come to this in the first place.

Perhaps next time Bromley Addicks have a meeting they consult CAST first so they can green light it

Bromley Addicks respect other supporter groups and check other groups announced meetings, before looking to arrange any meeting. Any clashing dates would not be considered.
In the unlikely event that we made an error we would of course have apologized and corrected our error by rearranging as a matter of simple respect and good manners.
