in General Charlton
Looks like there will be another protest on Saturday - it's starting to do the rounds on Twitter...

I'm all for it, but would urge fans to stay away from songs pertaining to gender and Belgium. They do us no favours and just give the club ammo.

Who'll be going?

    Should be 2 chants only, IMHO

    1 We want our Charlton back

    2 We want a MANAGER (not a bleedin interim coach)

    As per Greenie above, I was at the first protest outside the West Stand for Wednesday, but now I will not be giving the club any more money.

    I'm wondering if this (RD's ownership) is all just some sort of weird social experiment where they ask: "how bad can things get and people will still give us money?"

    Well, I'm very sorry, but no more of mine.

    You could always go to the protest and not the game... :-)

    I'll be there, although like many others I can feel my interest in Charlton draining away fast.

    Football is supposed to be a distraction from the stresses and strains of real life. At the moment it's the other way round- my work and family is a welcome distraction from Charlton.

    Such is my level of interest at the moment, I didn't even realise we're at home Saturday!

    Hope all you guys are sending a Xmas card to both RD & KM stating your reasons for staying away.

    You know it makes sense !

    Went to the last one but wont be doing this one as not bothering with the game as have a Xmas night out. Normally I would have gone to the game and then been late meeting my friends as Charlton took priority now its the other way round and I will be staying at home.

    I hate feeling like this and it feels unnatural, so Thanks Roland.

    If everyone did this, the club would be forced to deal with the situation as they simple could not afford to carry on. All the while everyone is happy to trundle into the ground wearing a black and white scarf, after singing polite songs in the car park for 15 minutes......nothing will change.

    but how do they know the reason why you are staying away? for all they know/care you might have died. only when season ticket renewal comes round will they discover your apathy. in the meantime attend and protest.

    I already have a season ticket (i know more fool me) so they already have my money and my "attendance". but i refuse to buy anything in the ground or club shop, thats my own personal protest as I used to be partial to a beer or 14 chips, do you think if every single season ticket holder boycotted, even though they already have our money, now next season or a home cup game would be another matter

    We have to step it up. I agree- the only song we need is We want our Charlton back. Of course we will be signing to idiots who don't care. They should care as if they don't it will end badly for us and them.

    its simple these should be the songs


    We want our charlton back

    roland out

    katrien out

    murray out

    youre not fit to run our club

    sack the board

    glickstein out (for old times sake)

    i also think maybe a song or two of the names of the players that symbolise the mismanagement, such as yann kermorgant a team of kermorgant and micheal morrison should also be sung, might make a point

    I'll be there. As others have mentioned, nothing derogatory toward Belgium or KM just simple chants that get the message across.

    season ticket holders there is no point them not going as they have paid out for it, but dont buy anything in the ground and for fans like myself that buy my tickets on a match by match basis, i have been once this season, usually me and a couple of leeds supporting mates go this fixture, but this year none of us are bothering,

    Because even if they have your season ticket money, they still rely on making a 'matchday profit' on food and drink etc. Also - if the team have to play in an empty stadium, perhaps the players themselves will start putting pressure on KM and RD to listen to the fans and change their ways. If JJ and other players can apply pressure on the powers that be to get shot of Tony Watt they can apply pressure on them to pull their heads out their backsides!!

    If you have stopped going they have won,
    People have stopped going to Cafc over the last 60 years
    Because of lack of ambition.
    From the days when we sold Mike Bailey ,Billy bonds,Len Glover, Mike Kenning
    in the 60's. The only time we didn't sell players was The 1st half of Richard Murray's tenure. until Scott Parker 's Tantrum, when we had no choice.

    The easy decision is to stop going.
    The hard one is to soldier on under this Bizarre management.

    I think it's perfectly reasonable to target KM, to be honest - just not on the basis that she's female or Belgian. The "she ain't a clue" chant is derogatory but it's not abusive.

    Agreed.

    Fair game to target her for incompetence, as you would a 50 year old, slightly overweight, receding hair lined bloke from cumbria if he in charge!

    Some go OTT on the gender/nationality stuff and some are put off protesting because they find it harsh as she's a woman - it's a strange mix IMO.
