1.If we all turned up every week and did not protest but watched the football, do you think Roland would be more or less likely you ensure we are run properly?

I'm anti roland, anti card.
Been thinking the last couple of days and looking at post on CL and regarding the anti card I will admit half of the anti card probably has nothing to do with the top dogs.
For me over the months Ive come on CL asked a few questions about card and seen posts from people who are anti card/ anti protest, most have taken unfair beatings.
I've blamed card for the beatings but when looking back i should think 90% of posters replying back are not the main members of card , just card followers.
In reply to Davo55 who was saying yesterday well if card were to Jack it in what happens next.
Probably not a lot, if I were to run the show probably get myself into trouble and that's me out the game.
I don't think roland would sell if there were no protests or everyone behaved themselves , will roland sell though if no one attends the games.
Is roland digging his heels in even more because of the protests, will he go if we get 3 games abandoned next year answers on a postcard Please.
I know every now and again not much I forget for a second we are all Charlton supporters.

Only 3 pages in and this comment shows you're a fool.WhenIwasLittleBoy said:
Two and half years ago, Powell was named Sir, why I don't know, but the reality is he didn't do a better job when he first come in and the club was in a far worst stateOff_it said:
I'm talking about now though. Powell was years ago. How do you feel it has been going now?WhenIwasLittleBoy said:
The season Powell took over we had a worse run and the football was awful, financially on our knees, a pitch that was like a marsh, however we won't mention thatOff_it said:
That's true about some clubs being in a worse position than us. But I'm more concerned about us, and we are in a right old mess. And as far as I can see it was a preventable mess and it is getting steadily worse year on year, not better.WhenIwasLittleBoy said:
There are clubs in this country far worse off than us. As stated earlier no one wants to back down and if anything it is doing more harm than good.Off_it said:
Fair enough, but does that mean you just don't see the problem that people are up in arms about, or that you don't like or agree with the way people are going about it? Or is it the people themselves?WhenIwasLittleBoy said:
Personally can't see the point in the protests. Totally non benifcial to the club or players. Seen a lot worse ownership of the club and I wouldn't wish for something that you don't know, all that is being drip fed hasn't come off, and if there are new owners would they be any better? Would they invest in players? Let's face it the aussies were struggling to raise 20 million so I wouldn't be comfortable if they did take that they had the funds to buy playersOff_it said:So is it that you are in favour of RD or just that the protestors - or some of them - get up your nose?
I'm just trying to understand a different mindset to my own as all this is quite literally tearing our club apart. And surely nobody wants that?
RD's ownership to date has been a disaster, by any standard you can try to measure it. Whether it would be better under anyone else is debatable, but surely we can at least agree on that?
Powell came in and took a league 1 Charlton to the championship.
Then Roland came in and took a championship Charlton to league 1...0 -
Your posts make me laugh littleboy, you really are deluded. I saw the shit teams in the 70's and 80's but at least then the club had a connection with the fans. Players then cared about the club. The club has had its soul ripped out by the owners, this is by far the worse era the club has experienced in the 50 odd years that I've been a supporter.WhenIwasLittleBoy said:Then why say you don't give up?? If you got something to say with relevance then say it but you don't make sense. Another Johnny come lately that has never seen the 70's and 80's with a proper shit team, derelict ground not a pot to piss in
For me, its now much worse than the Selhurst years.8 -

To me, the worst crime is pretending nothing's amiss. Even the most ardent of Roland supporters must look at things objectively and see things have hardly got better. At least the CEO has been managing to keep her feelings about the fans to herself in recent times, if only on instruction.0 - Sponsored links:

I am in absolutely no doubt that the quickest way to get RD to sell up is by the current team attaining promotion back to the Championship (either automatically or via the playoffs).
Like the rest of you I badly want that to happen THIS SEASON. With the quality of the players we now have at our disposal (plus the possible addition of Reeves and Martin into the mix) combined with what I see as an extremely mediocre league now is the time to cast aside your gripes with the current regime and return to the Valley to support the boys 100%.
By returning to the Valley and relinquishing any existing boycotts you are not only going to give a massive boost to the current set of players you are also potentially quickening RD's exit which, at the end of the day, is what we all want (well..2% of us at least). ;-)
I simply cannot face another year of RD and Div 1 football and it pains me that I am not in a position to support the boys at our spiritual home.
It's time to stop the boycott and put all our collective energies into a return to the Championship don't you think?

Because he's had enough of Charlton and promotion back to the Championship represents his best chance of clawing back some of his considerable losses. It's common knowledge that he is open to bidders even if his price is way OTT currently.seth plum said:

Personally I will still be boycotting, mainly as I don't seem to get any pleasure out of going to games anymore but also because I feel that it is the best thing to do in order to do my part to remove the owner (no matter how small!)... of course that'll change with new ownership , but new ownership isn't garunteed with promotion - I fear it will only prolong the current regime as KM & RD's appetite will be wetted especially when they see it as 'beating' those who oppose them!3 -
I respect your decision to continue the boycott but can I please ask why you think it will make the slightest bit of difference to an absent owner reportedly worth £500 million+ who has time and time again displayed a total lack of apathy towards Charlton fans like us?

I'm a boycotter of two years now, but had an interesting moment yesterday. My 17 year old, who lost interest after Roland sacked Powell and hasn't been back apart from the Middlesbrough protest game, suddenly said, or of the blue, 'Can we go to some Tuesday night games this season?'
I have such happy memories of going to Charlton with her that I don't think I will be able to say no, and the fact that it turns out we've got the best team since Brazil 1970 only further weakens my resolve.9 - Sponsored links:

I agree with you that it is practically impossible to 2nd guess RD but at what point are we forced to give the regime some slack? For example how would we all feel if the team comfortably achieved promotion back to the Championship this year and followed up with a top half finish in 2018/19 whilst retaining KR and the core of the current team? Would KM be entitled to blow her own trombone then? (oer missus!).cabbles said:

She's blown her own trumpet for far too long.4 -
In many ways this is a stupid thread because people will do what they want.
However I will still make a couple of points.
Firstly, in my experience, those who protest the lowest also support the team the loudest.
Secondly a kid is more likely to become a long term Charlton supporter by coming and going through some pain with some occasional highlights than if he went to watch Gillingham or became a Manure or Chelski TV supporter. So bring the kids we will need them long after Roland has gone.
As for me I will support CARD whenever possible and am awaiting the next Belgium trip as I missed the last one due to heart surgery.
