    Just registered. Well done to CAST for arranging it.

    This is by far the worst situation on the pitch I have known for Charlton. Like others I welcomed Thomas and ignored his eccentricity and crap music.

    The Garner sacking is a red line for me. Unlike JJ this was someone handpicked by the Sandgaard's. This now doesn't feel credible anymore.I dread to contemplate who comes next and am not looking forward to the window.

    I hope that we can see what is possible and don't fall out. We need to influence TS or any other new owner.

    In addition to footballing matters, I hope a stronger line of questioning will be adoped at the next Fan's Forum with regard to the toxic culture currently affecting back room staff.
    For the club to be successful there needs to be a positive working environment for all staff, from the match day casuals to the players.
    Whilst this could be regarded as an operational matter for the club and not the business of the supporters, fans are customers and have a choice where to spend their hard earned. 
    A clear message needs to be given to Sandgaard that the current situation is not acceptable to the majority of fans and continued support at the Valley would be conditional on improvement.

    Like so many of us, I actively protested against Duchatelet (as well as protesting against Michael Gliksten back in the day) and really thought those days were over. Sadly, they are not, and I have the sinking feeling that this time it may be even more important than those previous occasions. 
    I really hope I’m wrong.

    How is the online meeting supposed to work?

    It's bad enough trying to keep order with 20 people on a work call, so with potentially hundreds at this meeting I'm struggling to understand how it can work.

    Louis Mendez and Richard Cawley had a chit chat about Garner being sacked on Twitter Spaces on Monday night. All required was a twitter account to listen and away you go. At one stage there was over  600 people on the call and bar the odd Sunday night RTM issue, was all ok.

    Thanks. But there's a difference between a "meeting" and just listening in, isn't there? Who is able to speak at the meeting?

    (Not directed at you specifically shirty5, am just curious how it will work)

    You could (If allowed by the host) to have a chat on that as well. 
  • Done 
  • With tonight's rumour regarding a done deal apart from EFL approval, we could all wear party hats & pop party poppers !!

    The way CAST have usually done their Zoom meetings is that people enter questions in the Q&A box as we're all muted, and the upvoted ones get raised by the Committee members first, and they occasionally run polls. But these have usually been AGMs or Q&As so I don't know if that's an appropriate format here. Bromley's zoom meetings have generally been a bit less rigidly structured, and we could mute and unmute ourselves to contribute, but that has certain pitfalls (remembering here one specific meeting where one attendee forgot to mute themselves, so we were treated to overhearing the discussion of the second meeting he was attending at the same time. I think someone had to phone him to tell him what he was doing wrong)

  • Registered, Trust events like this are well run, and hopefully  there can be some constructive proposals to take forward for the fans forum meeting.

    Thanks. And what you describe is exactly the type of problem that frequently occurs when there's 20 people, let alone hundreds! Good luck to whoever is going to attempt to marshal that one!
