  • A great mention on Radio 5's 'Fighting Talk' just now - the question was something like 'what's the biggest farce in sport at the moment' - mentioned the protests last week, as well as the crazy statement - the publicity keeps coming...

    Radio 5 said the protests are the biggest farce? Or was it the club is the biggest farce, which precipitated the protests. Two different thing entirely.

    The club, mentioned the statement and said CAFC fans should carry on after that and throw beach balls today.

    Crazy i know, but I think Roland wants us relegated. We finally have a decent run with 7 out of 9 points. But then two divisive statements. Deliberate sabotage?
    Playing reza and ba today? Only giving Lookman a start in the tv game? It seems player sales strategy is more important than survival!

    Get on message please. Roland is a genius. We are idiots who just want the club relegated.

    There's also something on the website about season tickets, showing date posted 9 May 2016.

    http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/charlton-athletic-201617-season-tickets-on-sale-3002389.aspx

    and something else dated 18 March 2016.

    http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/charlton-athletic-valley-away-free-coach-travel-sheffield-wednesday-2982453.aspx

    Dunno about source code, but I get the feeling someone's been on the sauce...

    And here we are over two weeks later and they are still showing 9 May on the season ticket posting. What a joke.

    I think it's intentional to keep it top of the news,

    Correct. Something we've done for a number of items over the last couple of years. One of the quirks of the CMS, unfortunately.

    I reckon "The Statement Version 2" is being angrily typed out in the Belgian Batcave right now. Looking forward to another lesson in how to lose customers and alienate people.

    I love that the first four or five pages of this thread is the vast majority of us assuming that the website was hacked because no-one would put something THAT batshit out. But no, they managed to surpass even our low expectations.
  • I think the difference is also because fans don't see themselves as customers and {…} they go to the restaurants with their families every week and they go to the cinema but if they aren't satisfied with the product will they go and scream to the people in charge of it? No they don't, but they do it with a football club and that's very weird (meaning unique) because they feel a sense of ownership of a football club and that's a really difficult balance of how you try and engage with fans and make them, incorporated into some of the decisions of the club, {…}.

    Quite hard to believe that is actually on our Professional Football Club's website. Beyond belief

    Shocking statement.

    "is it easier to sell the club when it is in league one rather than championship"

    Roland has wanted to sell us for probably quite some time. ....For the right price etc....That's why the people that should be sacked, don't get sakced. Its also why the budget cuts are big and little investment on the pitch has happend.

    There's no future between the owner and Charlton, so no decent future planning is needed. He can be as careless as he likes, in his mind.

    He wants us in the championship but he fucked everything up and we won't go back up now. It doesn't happen like magic. Hard work and serious dedication needs to be put in.
    It's a relatively hard league to get out of.

    The fact that he didn't even get the meeting with PV is strange. Surely he would have wanted to hear him out.

    Richard Murray recently said "Roland hasn't fallen in love with Charlton"

    F*cker.

    You obviously blocked the potential communication between our neglectful owner and a takeover opportunity that would have benefited everyone apart from yourself. Snake.

    Daisy told us we were like his children. It's a fact, children who only get conditional love become delinquent.

    We are like the unwanted disrespectful goth rebel teen daughter that looks out of place on the pretentious posh dinner table with the weirdos that do as they are told.

    Roland then admits "I wish I never had you"

    Daisy and Two Shats were* both remarkable in their ability to say whatever nonsense popped into their craniums despite a lack of (and often contrary to) any tangible evidence. I'm convinced that both would swear black was white if that's what they thought would serve whatever their malignant purpose was. I'd never trust them to speak openly and honestly about anything.

    * See how easily I've slipped into talking about them in the past tense. Oh how I hope there's a quick sale.

    26 hours later, it's still there, no edit, no response, no apology, nothing. Are they just going to pretend that didn't happen?? They can't hide forever, there's season tickets to sell...

    A year later it's still there!!
