Roland Duchsitalot-

5 years owning Charlton next week :emoticon-0119-puke:

5 years of decline on the field and off it.

5 years when all of the tremendous work of Alan Curbishley was systematically destroyed.

I think most Charlton fans - me included -‘would have forgiven the ups and downs of our team in those 5 years in “normal circumstances” ...having a bad side sort of goes with the territory.

What can’t be forgiven is the malice and mendacity shown towards “customers” by Duchatelet, Meire, Murray, Keohane and Parkes etc.

The scorn, the disdain, the lies, the physical violence (stewards) and the vitriol (grassing up to the police).

That’s what places these individuals and what has happened over the last five years beyond the pale.

Christ on a bike, 5 years. In that time so many fans have drifted away, most of them aren't boycotters, just that until Bowjacko's resurgent squad's charge the dead atmosphere hasn't been worth the effort to get to the Valley. ITTV's line of slagging "boycotters" off for not being proper supporters is stupid, to put it mildly. I bet most of them have found other things to do on Saturday, and even in the event of a take-over the attendance won't suddenly be 17,000 of pre-Roland days.
