    What's the actual attendance. Looks on TV as if it has to be under 10,000

    I reckon about 6,000 home fans
    If there are the best part of 3k in the away end I estimate about 8 or 9 k in the home ends.
    And I've seen 5 balloons so far

    Sky made it look good. All those that didn't stand up with flyer have a major problem.

    Had some proper nasty comments as I was on Floyd Rd handing out posters but it seemed generally well received. :-)
  • How many of these posters will become paper planes?

    Home areas look about half full on tv
  • I think the only way to protest properly is to boycott home games. By continuing to go it just enables the board and other than mild embarrassment for KM a couple of seconds mild protests like Black and White/ 2% posters will be ineffective in engineering change (no disrespect to all those who put the effort into it)

    Nothing will change until they notice a real further drop off in attendances at home unfortunately. Whilst they're still getting your money and your arse on a seat in the ground they've got no incentive to give anything other than the lip service they are giving the Trust right now.

    It's not dialogue that's needed it is a major amendment if not complete overhaul of the strategy that's required unfortunately.

    Worse than that - there are circa 24,000 home seats and there isn't anything like 12,000 home fans
  • Boycott has to be up next. I hope Makienok, Sarr amongst others boycott with us.

    STs not turning up doesnt make much difference, visual demos, food/ merch strike will make the owner take notice, he will have seen todays thing

    Course it will. By sitting in your seat it gives the impression you are consenting to the way the club is being run regardless of whether you hold a poster up for a minute or not. Boycotting sends the message bluntly and is more blatant than turning up and not buying hot dogs.

    Attending is enabling them to carry on with the current strategy as it is.

    Dont agree, message needs to reach Roland

    Precisely ,....and how better a message than boycott? KM will be on the blower later "Yeah a fair few held up some posters in the second minute but still cheered the team on and clapped them off so Operation clusterfuck is still well on track my dear leader as the mugs will still turn up next game."

    A few tame protests will make fuck all difference to Roland....a bloke who won't even afford fans the courtesy of attending to see his experiment going pear shaped. Liege fans stormed his office and it didn't make a jot of difference.

    Dialogue via the Trust and tame protests will not make any difference. If you are genuinely unhappy with the strategy and running of the club then boycott home games.... nothing else with have any meaningful impact and we'll continue to slide.

    I reckon the attendance is 8/9,000 in home areas today, I don't think an organised boycott would really take those numbers down much more.

    Well if that is the case and 8000 are happy with the way things are then I really fear for the future under this current lot. We'll be a Millwall that can't win derbies.

    He watches all the games, money is where it hurts plus publicity from demos. Unless you're gonna ask for a refund it won't hit the pocket until next summer

    I'm not sure that going to a football match automatically equals approving of the way the club is being run

    But lots of people who went to the game today managed to show their disapproval...
  • Did the protest happen? If so it was pretty poor in my opinion, not sure it really had any impact other than to show it really was only 2% that have a problem....which I'm still not entirely sure what it is? Come on Charlton!

    Some "f*ck offs"

    Only about 2% though. The majority of our fans are completely reasonable and polite.

    Weirdos
    I had a couple of muppets looking for a reaction but laughed at them and said thanks and have a lovely day. Everyone else I talked too and leafleted was sound out and very supportive.

    Well done Joe for getting today set up. From small acorns.....
