Do we know who is moderating this, and how the questions from fans will be sent in and then selected.? 

@Braziliance the quality of questions on the night depends entirely on what the answers are to the above.

Fans can send in by email/whatsapp I think just like Charlton TV. I'd guess Charlotte Richardson or someone similar will host/moderate

Appreciate it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but that piece makes me realise how much we as a fanbase miss a publication like VOTV at times like these. Tying threads of information and evidence together, helping us see through the fog and posing questions of strategy and trajectory. 

For all its many benefits, social media is too in the moment and full of noise.

Credit where its due, this is timely and appropriate given the context of a poor situation at our beloved club. Would be easy (but risky) for them to hide. 

One of my criticisms has been that they haven’t done this, so I agree, although I am sceptical about the ability of the panel to speak with authority about the strategic direction of the club. Rodwell and Elliott are employees. I know nothing about Gavin Carter so look forward to finding out.

Carter was pitched by Methven as the key link between the board and the fans. So far there has been zero sign of that being put into practice, for whatever reason. I understand that CAST have been more than ready to engage with him but not been told when or how that might happen.

He has a Twiiter account:
https://x.com/gavin_carter?s=21&t=oKpEK5xuwukoPQ-YsizesQ

but is not very active with it, generally, despite having made his money in tech.His profile states that he is non-exec.  He is also based in Ontario. That need not matter, Mike Stevens was pretty effective from Chicago, long before the internet made things easier, but so far GC has been completely invisible since the announcement of his appointment. So seeing and hearing from him will be one of many interesting aspects of the event.

Carter has visited the museum although he didn't announce himself, which is fine and maybe a good thing as he wasn't doing the big "I am".  We only realised it was him after he'd left and saw his name in the visitors book.

Maybe he's just not the type of person who feels the need to be active on social media, not everyone does, but if so he is, perhaps, an odd choice to be part of this event.   

I guess that him being both a owner and a fan is seen as giving more credibility. 

He was very active on Twitter about a year ago defending Martin Sandgaard

I'm wondering if the investors put pressure on the SLT to arrange this meeting. If nothing else than to also try and understand where this is going!
I can't see why they would arrange it otherwise.

Maybe a question could be why have we signed yet another player that needs to be eased in and isn't ready to go. Why do we never learn? 

Especially when Andy Scott said we’d be doing the opposite ie permanent signings who’d been playing recently and were therefore good to go.

Yes but who believes a word that Scott says?

I can’t think of anything that the panel could say that will make me feel better. 

If they make a realistic plan - i don’t have any confidence it will happen. 

If they make unrealistic (sign Messi) plan - it won’t happen. 

That woman we had, made sure to get rid of all “Charlton people” that worked in club admin. 

We have since lost JJ and Big Jace from the coaching staff, with just Jason P left. 

RD is still our landlord. 

I’m reliably informed that “the board” passed up a chance to have Bowyer back - and Apples is not the answer IMO, he’s just another Adkins, Garner etc. 

50+ years on the terraces for me, and 87 away grounds with the team, yet I probably won’t go to watch us get tonked by Posh. Our football is total crap, regardless of the result. 

I defer to The Stranglers - Something Better Change. 

Similar for me too apart from the number of away grounds. I will be travelling down from Peterborough to watch Charlton with Junior on Saturday despite no trains running from here to London. I am looking for action not words from the owners. I am also looking for, in the words of Ian Drury 
Reasons to be cheerful

If I was to ask one question, it would be to ask Rodwell what he actually does.

Not in a negative/aggressive way, but out of curiosity, as I'm confused as to who does what, and where the buck stops. The other two at the meeting, no disrespect, aren't important, as they have no real executive role.
