    I'd have loved to have joined you all in Belgium today, put off by a combination of an 800 quid return ticket, a bloody long journey and a definite bollocking from the missus!

    Shame our shitty owners aren't Asian!

    To echo previous sentiments, each and every one of you that's traveled to Belgium is a hero. Thank you.

    To RD: We were here before you, and will be long after you're gone.
  • Good Luck to all of those out in Belgium, so sorry I am unable to be with them Hope they all stay safe,and show that Duchatelet what it means to be a Charlton supporter. Makes one proud to be an Addick

    Absolutely gutted not to be part of this. I nearly drunkenly booked a Eurostar ticket at 2am last night. Bloody good job I didn't I just noticed my passport expired last week!!!! Could have been awkward.

    All those out there give the deranged madman hell.
  • My heartfelt thanks to all who are making the journey and participating in the protest. I know you will make sure that RD has a real horrid day! Or maybe get him to see the light and do the right thing. We can but hope!

    The latest rain radar suggests a fair amount of dry weather this afternoon. Good luck.
  • Why are there bars on the windows ? Is it the ferry equivalent of the 1970s football train special ?
    Stops you putting your feet on the window sill.

    I'm on the overnight coach, we're into Belgium.

    When booking I didnt know about the Hasselt drop off. Therefore I've booked accommodation on a cherry farm about 2 miles from Truiden, soon as I'm in town I'm gonna hire a bicycle and rush to the farm and back so I don't miss anything.

    Flights sorted, train tickets sorted. Early start for me tomorrow. 5:50 am flight from Cork to Amsterdam, and then a train from Amsterdam to Brussels and then onto St. Truiden. I'll probably arrive a little after lunch giving me a little bit of time for a few beers and maybe a bit of a wander around the town before the protest. Hopefully I'll see some of you there.

    As this is my first protest, any advice on whether fans usually wear colours at these events? I know there were protest shirts etc but as I don't have any of those t would wearing an old Charlton shirt from a better time be considered uncouth? I might have a black or white shirt from time gone past if that is considered preferable to red.

    With your dedication you could turn up in your birthday suit and no one would but an eyelid....well done you.

    Greatest match thread ever.

    A large part of me is gutted I'm not there today. A small part of me knows it wasn't practical to be there but should have said 'fuck it, I'm going.' Too late now.

    We have the greatest fans ever.

    Each and everyone one of you in Belgium and in Northampton. Good luck and stay safe.

    For those attending, Roland has brought some money and would like you to take £50m home each as a memento

    Presumably 'invested' at a very reasonable interest rate?
