The problem is that we all have our own ideas about the protest and are often at odds with each other. Yesterday we were led, and ideas are great and should continue, but we need leading so we all move as one. Rick is that natural leader. Cometh the hour and all that.7

I am lucky enough to have known Rick since the late eighties. He was, and remains, a top man who cares about the club passionately. Great interview.5
-
very eloquent, very committed, extremely well explained and argued and showing controlled passion .. he's convinced me ...
although I STILL maintain that Duchatelet is not evil, he sincerely believed that his 'plan' would lead to a successful CAFC .. time has shown that he was wrong and radical change is necessary, otherwise Duchatelet should admit defeat and sell up4 -
Excellent stuff @Airman Brown3

Brilliant Rick, great contributions from Mike, Ollie and all of you!
You have made my Sunday. Great to have Stan Colleymore on our side.
Keep spreading the word! You guys speak for all genuine Charlton supporters,
can't thank you enough!2 -
Henry Irving ?
You should've been on the stage4 -
Great work Rick. The turnout was superb and I heard both the Talksport and BBC interviews which came across brilliantly. Be proud, you called and a thousand plus Charlton fans answered. With the publicity we are getting, I very much hope the numbers will explode.
Let's also remember the other contributors too, I'm sure Rick will not want to take all of the credit. Joe and the rest of the Spell it Out guys helped get things to this point, plus I'm sure many others that I can't quite think of right now!10 -
"We will make the club unmanagable" not a threat a statement of fact.Reminded me of Arnold in the terminator"I'll be back".
No one need doubt it as this made is a DOER as well as a talker5 -
Rick's Wars
Scene 2040
Rick Everitt is sitting in his lounge quietly enjoying a nice cup of tea when the hologram rings. A heavily cardiganed Ben Hayes appears.
Ben : Rick, it's urgent, Charlton needs your help! The club has been taken over by Martians who want to send us to The Conference League and turn the Valley into an intergalactic hoverport!
Rick: Oh ffs! Not again! I've just sat down with me tea!
Ben : We're all counting on you, mate.
Rick: Well can I at least eat my garibaldi biscuit first?
Ben: Er....
Rick : ( big sigh) Right, right.... where's my red shirt....

Echo everything that has been said. Fantastic work Airman.
He's one of our own, he's one of our own, airman brown he's one of our own.
Got a bit carried away there, that's lunch time drinking for you.0 -
Loving this, Airman Brown has gone from permafrost villain to hot favourite. Well done Rick and all who have worked so hard to try and save the club, again.5

Don't be a bitter ex-employee uboat ?Uboat said:Bitter, ex-employee.
I can understand your angst thou;
I can't remember if you were Floyd or Harvey but to be made redundant
and then stuffed and put in the museum would be hard for anyone to take.

On the bright side, if we were taken over by Martians there would be some great new exhibits for the Museum3blokes said:Rick's Wars

:-) Tommy, one of my very favourite poems.Henry Irving said:I WENT into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, " We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, go away " ;
But it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.
I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, wait outside ";
But it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide.1 -
My first ever football match (hence 85). Dad told six-year-old me it was all completely normal. I expected to see pitch invasions and turf theft every week after that.Hastingsaddick said:Lewis Coaches said:Dear old Rick love him or hate him you have to say he hits the nail on the head ever time.Keep up the good work you have done over the last 30years .Glad to have been on the pitch with you 21-09-1985.
The infamous Stoke game, had a nice piece of Valley turf that I kept on my mums kitchen window-sill (in a tupperware box....it lasted 3-4 weeks). I've known Rick for years (through several mutual friends) he certainly is an asset shame he isn't still working for the club....but that's another story.Lewis Coaches said:Dear old Rick love him or hate him you have to say he hits the nail on the head ever time.Keep up the good work you have done over the last 30years .Glad to have been on the pitch with you 21-09-1985.

We have an exclusive interview with Rick on Charlton Live this evening, along with plenty of quotes from fans I interview at the protest.
Charltonlive.co.uk at 7pm.10 -
You're about the same age as my son @JiMMy 85 (who was a Junior Red) whom me and my Dad dragged over to Sellout in the nomadic years. Lo and behold we were rewarded with top flight football for the first time in my lifetime of supporting the team and second time round for Dad who first went to the Valley in 1933. Sadly this is what the current regime just don't get or give a toss about, it's been a way of life for so many of us, is in our genes and we cherish our memories dearly.JiMMy 85 said:

I can't describe how I feel right now about the supporters who are protesting on whatever platform. I thought that we were dead. I was wrong. I'm choked up tbh.9

AB as eloquent, committed and forthright as ever but now bringing something of the elder statesman to his game which adds even more authority to his words. This is only the start of a whole new chapter in the rich history of our incomparable club.

Well said Airman! As far as most Addicks fans are concerned the Belgians are finished at OUR club!!!
The spirit of the back to the Valley days has emerged among supporters and we will do what is necessary to rid ourselves of the current regime.1 -
Thanks Airman, that was brilliant. Proud to be a Charltin fan this afternoon and your interview topped it off.
Also well done to all the other callers. Charlton fans can state their case with eloquent language. Well done all0 -
Superb work, Rick, thank you. The tactics of silence beloved by RD and his hapless sidekicks only works when nobody is listening to the voices of opposition. But now they are. Your move, Katrien.1

I think they are finished. They are so arrogant though, it will take them a while to realise this. Check out Carol's quote that we are protesting because the team is not doing well.
