Because he doesn't want his name associated with failure?Henry Irving said:Why do CARD insist on using name rather than writing "the owner" as the club do?
Before you wooosh! me, @Henry Irving , you have given me an idea.
We had a campaign of including the phrase "Katrien Meire is an incompetent CEO" in posts, to increase her exposure as such on google. We are pretty sure she had to do several "clean-ups" of her image as a consequence of this.
How about another, similar campaign to include the phrase "Roland Duchatelet is an incompetent football club owner" in as many posts on here and in social media, or comments to press articles, as possible?
Just another bit of acupuncture....13 -

Well done CARD for this imaginative idea.
In the past 18 month's or so i have been unhappy at CARD action's/lack of. So have directed my energy to the ROT party.
However this is top drawer, well done again and hope to see more initiative's. Perhaps in Belgium?2 -

If the main concern of the club is the environment and recycling then I don't understand why the policy is only aimed at a certain group?13

Possibly because they made a quick statement without thinking it through first.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:If the main concern of the club is the environment and recycling then I don't understand why the policy is only aimed at a certain group?

It's bollocks and just spin from the smarmy PR mooks paid to paper over the catastrophic ownership and mismanagement. It's got sweet fa to do with environmental initiatives...that's merely an incidental thing that has been positioned as the driver behind it. As you say if football clubs truly wanted to do it they could. Coincidental how both environmental drives referenced have cost saving benefits attached.
I really hope the PR slimeballs are content in their work of aiding and abetting the destruction of a 113 year old club by supporting this regime and undermining fans trying to highlight the destruction. Wankers14 -
this will be charltons deadline day news. 46 mins for us to cling on to a team for the season.0

Someone ought to mention to our new Eco friendly club about that bloody great big car the COO drives about in.6

Paid £2.20 for a bottle of water at Charlton a couple of years ago. Good to know there will be a tap for fans to refill their re-usable bottles from.20

I think it is sad that while the fans of the 91 other football league clubs are busy speculating on who may be their big name signing before the transfer window closes, Addicks are reduced to debating the relative merits of tap water v bottled water.
And why? The root cause is because Roland Duchatelet is an incompetent football club owner, who is totally penny wise and pound foolish.
How on earth he made a success of his microelectronics business is a total mystery to me; I can only assume he has senior staff who have good business brains and run it for him.9 -
I noticed that Makro were selling a pack of 24 bottles for 3.94 last month. That works out about .164p a bottle. Skinflint.

If there was the slightest shred of truth in it being an environmental issue, the club would have publicized it as such when the decision was made. They'd want to use the club's reach to persuade fans to avoid using plastic bottles, the number of fans they could influence would have a far greater environmental impact than a handful of players. Of course, they didn't do that because it was just a lie they made up when they realised they were on the back foot.

In the heatwave of the summer of 1976, with impeccable timing the government appointed a minister for drought...and it didn’t stop raining after that.
In the heatwave of the summer of 2018, with impeccable timing CARD decides to invest in 100 bottles of water for the the youth team...and the rest is history, as is the dry weather going by today’s non-stop downpour...CARD out...7 -
Respect to CARD. All hail to those behind this initiative, its implementation, publicising and last but not least funding by all those generous Addicks out there.

Late to the party as usual but what a simple but pertinent way to gain publicity for the protests against Roland Rat !
Well done, CARD , and all who sail in you !3 -

Fact is, a member of staff was asked to save money which ever way he can. He wasn't asked to green up The Valley.Stig said:If there was the slightest shred of truth in it being an environmental issue, the club would have publicized it as such when the decision was made.

Of course, if the club was a decent, valued enterprise and had anyone even vaguely competent at their job, or indeed anyone at all really, they'd have punted around for an official club water supplier to dump shed loads of the stuff on them as a freebie.WSS said:
“The club looked at the spend on plastic water bottles as part of a current cost analysis process.Curb_It said:
“The decision was made that given the high wastage and the environmental impact of plastic bottles the club would be better served providing water in other ways. “The club provides fresh water at the training ground, the first team have individual refillable bottles and the U23s and U18s are also provided with refillable bottles.
“The solution has saved costs, reduced wastage and has environmental benefits.
“This is not the only way the club are saving money by becoming more environmentally friendly. In June, the club’s electricity consumption was cut by 11% and in July by 29%.
“The water sent to the training ground won’t be wasted and the plastic bottles the water came in will be recycled.”2 -
Until he rocks up at Charlton Station with the keys to The Valley, he's in the category of "believe when I see it"JamesSeed said:

Take that, NLA!
No disrespect to you or NLA but it's gone on so long, with all the highs and lows I refuse to get swept along with any excitement or dispondant when bad news or further delays happen. If it happens it will hopefully benefit the club and its fans, if it doesn't as I've said elsewhere I'll call it a day. Too old and too tired to get dragged down by all this, my life has moved on although ironically Saturday is my day off where normally sit down and watch Charlton on the telly. So the love for that red shirt is still simmering on low heat and it's been difficult not attend or to walk away after the Upbeats walk. But for now Charlton takes up about 1.5% of my time instead of 90% of my life.
