    Vernon Roper is in charge of the Valley Express according to the Official Site.

    John Commerford has stepped down as the East Kent Addicks representative for the Fans Forum, although he remains as the chairman of East Kent Addicks.

  • Bet they cancel at the last minute
  • Bet they cancel at the last minute

    Since this has now been widely publicised on the OS and involves so many groups I don't think they could get away with that this time.
  • I was accosted by him once outside a Pret in the City. Seemed OK though.
    Damn Roland and his spies everywhere...
  • How many paid up members do each of these groups have then ?

    Why the VIP guy of it no longer exists?

    Why nobody from the gay addicks group ?
  • excuse my ignorance but is Sharron Sherress from Valley Gold a CAFC supporter or just, in the nicest possible way, a paid employee who admins VG

    Now I know who to email about Fulham home and Ipswich home
  • Coach steward ?
  • I have emailed Sharron and asked who this person is and how he/she was selected, I'll let you all know if I get an answer
    Sharron is the Valley Gold Administrator and the usual Fans' Forum rep for this group. She's employed by Valley Gold, not by the football club, to be clear. She's a good egg.

    she may be a good egg, whatever that means, but is she a Charlton football supporter. we need committed supporters to represent us at this meeting not just good eggs.

    This comment is not meant to denigrate Sharron in any way but we are talking about the future of our club and that is very important.

    I was about to ask the same question. Highly relevant I would have thought.

    If a bit too good looking, if you know what I mean...
  • Lack of Red Division representation on that list is shocking

    This was suggested at the CASTrust AGM as well. The view I expressed, for what it's worth, is that it's kind of like shooting yourself in the foot. Valley Gold contributes money into the Academy, and that's the basis of people's membership. It's been a consistent success in recent years and it's done things like sponsor player trips etc that wouldn't have happened otherwise. It's kids' development and futures, all good value to Charlton in the longer term, and whilst on the surface it might appear to be an easy hit it's the wrong target and one that will cost supporters more than the club in the long run.

    I don't personally believe that the supporters are separate from the club. The club is the supporters and vice versa. Anything that costs the club costs the supporters. That is, by definition what a supporter isn't it?

    I'm not saying you're wrong but I've always been sceptical that the 'donations' provide more money opposed to them just reducing someone else's contribution. If Roland is determined to have a Tier One (or whatever it is called) academy then he might feel the need to make up the shortfall.

    I certainly think this would make a bigger statement than refusing to buy a burger from a company that has leased the outlets or from season ticket holders refusing to attend games they have already paid for.

    I also think the very fact that it is recognised in the way you describe would make it a bigger statement to the board that we are serious.

    Compared to some on here wanting us to be relegated to force his hand I think this is a lot less drastic for the future of the club. I don't think there is any way we can withhold our support (neither financial nor turning up) without the potential that it will cost supporters in the long run. I would argue that another three year spell in the third division would do much more damage than forcing the academy to cancel a few trips, but that is just my view.

    Anyway, I was only floating the idea on the basis that I believe that many will have more stomach to do that than boycott games or remember to make sandwiches to bring along to avoid buying food in the ground.

    Same old bollocks eh stu, if enough people stood they would be, cant force people to stand
  • It was a simple question, it was you trying to belittle other groups, if people are willing to put their time forward for the benefit of us fans, they should get the same treatment as anyone else.

    I'll take your answer as a no.

    No one is belittling, its a statement of fact.

    Or rather, In fact it was a question about independence and accountability.

    It wasn't a "statement of fact" you posed it as a question.

  • Yup corrected
