I sense the hand of our highly paid PR gurus behind this. For not much outlay the club get to point to a few free coaches going up to Northampton as evidence they are engaging fully with supporters.Rob7Lee said:
Whats all that about. Still, protest is working well already, so the club are having to pay the coaches and now free breakfast. I reckon sooner or later they'll be a raffle for a seat on the bench, sort of job share with RoJo, he never gets on either.WSS said:
And free breakfast!sammy391 said:The club are putting on free coaches to Northampton now , wonder why

Lol, do you have to buy a ticket to book a place on the coach & breakfast? They'd never be that silly I guess........ i'll check in the morning ;-)MrLargo said:
Sadly I have a confession, i'm going to Northampton, but then i'd promised my youngest daughter at Christmas we'd go to Northampton as it's her Birthday.
On a brighter note thats one less tea totaller on the trip and i've just bunged £50 in the Protest fund.19 -
You're taking your daughter to watch Charlton on her birthday, blimey she must have been a naughty girl last year. I've never forgiven my Dad for indoctrinating me you knowRob7Lee said:

Are CAST organising the coach travel!RedChaser said:Free breakfast? Mind you you'll need some sustenance if it's the usual 2 hours of pick ups in South East London and Kent. Well done the club

Don't you start.bolloxbolder said:
Yes to both, quality Charlton service.... oh wait a minute!! Just hoping to get to the buffet before @Addicktedsuperclive98 said:
In a similar vein, has anyone had a response from TheBelgium20 regarding the Pre-Protest Buffet?RedPanda said:Have those who sent the form & paid yesterday had a response...?
Rather pleasant Italian just off the square will probably be getting our custom - @SoundAsa£ is too sophisticated to do a 'buffet'.

Always happy to get the first round in. It's the third round that's a problem as by then you are usually on the Kir Royal and gone all native.Henry Irving said:

Well done to all involved in organising this.7 -
Be careful everyone, the Belgian beer seems to start at 5%, normally 7% and some 'special beers' anywhere up to 13%.

Have to echo your comment. It must have taken weeks and months of preparation to get to where we are today. Very well done to everyone involved.Onlyme said:Eurostar, Hotel, & now buffet all confirmed. Can't wait !!

Will people please stop mentioning the buffet, poor old Perks won't know whether to go to Northampton or Belgium.20

Please tell me the coaches are goingcharltonnick said:So can we get a free breakfast at The Valley and then jump on the Unity coach to Belgium ?
I've told her at Charlton there are up's and downs, she keeps asking when she'll see any of the up's...... I'm surprised i've not been reported to the NSPCC.....RedChaser said:

In all seriousness, her Birthday list has 5 items on it, No 1 is "Northampton away tickets"........3 -
Sorry, being slightly crap here but can someone responsible tell me what the Paypal details are if I want to sponsor the Belgium trip please?2

As a dedicated Charlton supporter this is surely a rare win/win,
On one hand CARD are offering a fun packed, cultural, protest packed weekend overseas and on the other the club are offering free coaches and sourcing extra tickets!
You are literally spoilt for choice
I cant wait for the day that,
A - CARD achieve the ambition and of a viable ownership
Or
B - The club offer us all free housing in Kidbrooke Village (not to be confused with the Ferrier Estate) to encourage us to go to the Valley.
Woohoo!8 -

However no apologies for reposting, as the fantastic organisation for this trip has rightly been compared to a military operation.

Perhaps that's why they don't want us to get promoted, because the fans have been to those nice Championship grounds.cherryorchard said:From the club's blurb promoting free travel to Northampton:

If we stay in League 1 then there might be a chance that there's a new ground or two among the promoted clubs and you never know but, maybe not next season but the one after, we could possibly go into League 2 ourselves. Oh, how excited the fans would be.7 -
Slightly late to the party but what's the cheapest option still available for this?
I have deadlines for the Monday afterwards so might have to cancel on it last minute so would want to keep as cheap as possible?

Would love to have gone to this but I'm away most of March. Excellent idea and can't wait to see the pictures and hear the stories.0
