    If she's costing him money (her stupid quotes that help motivate protests and boycott's) and its serious pocket per every other week, then he may want a CEO that's going to still be a yes man but do a much more simple job of not complicating things, from his point of view.

    It's now gone to Belgian press. He doesn't give a major toss about us fans but...

    I honestly think she will get sacked now out of loss of income and no sign of that stopping, and more importantly, embarrassment.

    He may have to re think having a nice young woman working under him. Which is the only reason she was here in the 1st place.

    She's gone I think. Matter of time he will fire her.

    End of the day he has an ego and probably should not be involved in football but he can't be that stupid he's a multimillionaire for Christ sake.

    Really glad I made the trip today. On the drive down I was worried that there wasn't going to be enough people and wondered if my 120 mile trip was going to be for nought. I was hugely impressed with the turn out and the fact it all went off peacefully and in a mature fashion. It's an immensely proud day to be a Charlton fan and well done for those that organised it and especially everyone who took part. It was a great atmosphere and a very special moment.

    To boycott and get along to protests is the double whammy to the regime. Well done WCA. Many miles traveled. What KM and Co probably fear most of all is direct confrontation. More of that will also help put the squeeze on.

    I don't know if you have been mentioned yet but top marks to the supporter dressed as Darth Vader, carrying the 'Force is with us' sign. We need some humour amid all this madness.

    I was right at the front great response eventually. Was dissapointed to see a lot of West stand muppets just walk on bye. Assume big mouth Sid and Uboat were one of them. ...If they were there

    t. Third row of the protest, singing my heart out.

    Great vid @Eynsfordaddick would your friend mind if I posted it on Facebook.
    Hi Stig, he will be happy for you to post it.
    Brilliant. Thank you - and him :-)

    brilliant protest this evening, my son said he was proud to support Charlton on the way home, nice to meet @LeaburnForEngland and his lads in the museum pre match and well done to all who drove this galvanisation among the support.

    Big travelling support next week at Colchester means we can support the players for 90 minutes and the cause before/half time/after.

    To me the interim one sums up everything that is currently wrong with the club, he deserves as much stick as KM and RD and the sooner he is gone the better, I cannot ever remember disliking a manager this much.
  • Well done everybody protesting, and so many! I knew when the fans united as one, we would be a force to be reckoned with.

    On a personal note, it felt really good singing, shouting, and (best of all) shaking a fist at the incompetent buggers on the first floor.

    Now we need to up the anti.

    It will grow and it is going to cost the club (owner) a lot of money. KM has made it worse and she is going to cost the owner a lot of money!

    I'd definitely chip in for something on the Ransom Walk one, would be hilarious!

    I think the billboard idea is very good. If it can be organised though, it might be better doing one right outside the Stay-Pricks offices.

    Is there a billboard outside RD office in Belgium? This might have a big impact

    Just finding his office may be a pain in the ass; he has finger in multiple pies. Would be an incredibly embarrassing gesture if we could find out where he generally works from.

    If I was 69 and a multi-millionaire I'd probably work from home though!

  • Walked round from the East stand with my son to register our protest. Very impressed with numbers, noise and also the radio links posted by @West2003. Momentum is gathering.

    How much for a plane towing a banner ?

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think this had been brought up before and had to be discounted as an option because of flight paths and the proximity of LCY.

    Using images of people or statements made without their consent might be a legal minefield.
    I'll see what i can find out.

    Selling out the west lower to verbally protest sounds like a promising idea, but how to organise it without letting slip which game it's going to be?

    Just ask the ticket office nhs call centre for patient confidentiality.
    That is why I love football supporters so very much :-)

    I was in one of the lounges but encountered KM twice. The first time was during the pre-match protest and as she walked past me (laughing as usual), I said that I hoped she had read the Guardian today.

    At half time she walked past me and I asked her why she doesn't reply to emails, as I had sent three and hadn't got a reply. She didn't look very happy that I had dared to speak to her on her own patch and didn't answer me.

    I completely agree with her. How dare you approach her majesty and expect her to lower herself to talking to a customer. When you say she didn't look happy, how does she manage this while still grinning inanely?
    That's probably why there was no milk for a half time cuppa in the upper north, it was payback for the rest of us because somebody stepped out of line...
    Could we find out who supplies the Valley with things like milk and persuade them not to? It would certainly make things difficult, running a hospitality lounge with no beer/food/wine etc.

    Agree totally.

    I just want to say to them 'and breathe'

    Was proud to be a Charlton Athletic Fan yesterday.
    Did the 2.20 to 2.50 shift and 45 mins of the late shift.( too many Varney armies,
    My voice sounded like Lee Marvin when i arrived at the other half's Family party 90 minutes late)
    Sorry to the person who's eye i took out with my Black and white Golf umbrella,
    but as i said to them it was for a good cause and they
    will look back ( with their good eye ) in years to come and feel proud.
    The double whammy of the early and late protests was the dogs.

    My old Dad, at 2.15, Who used to have a kick about with The
    great Sam (Not Me ) Bartram when he was a young lad and living in Charlton,
    Went up to the statue and polished his boots,

    I said, give Charlton fans a cause and decent football to watch and they will prove what great fans they are. (we are still waiting for the Latter)

    Let's hope this is the beginning of the End for KM and RM.;
    and not just the End of the beginning.
