Supporters Trust

the only way the club and the valley / training ground are one again is by promotion to the PL. it'll be a myth.. like the ex directors loans being paid off.

for anyone to come in now to make any money will need us to be given a stadium, say near the o2, and then we'll not be held hostage by RD.

That would be a tough decision to make.

Stay at the Valley with the humiliation of being Roland's tenants, or...
Leave the Valley - which would probably lead to RD getting permission to have it developed.

In the short term I think I'd prefer the Club to stay at the Valley.
At least that would be playing for time.
The possibility (however remote) that one day the Club might be able to own the ground again would still be there.

If we move out and a bunch of luxury apartments gets built on the site, CAFC can never return there, ever.

I loath the old Scrote as much as anybody,
but never returning to Floyd Road would be a terrible price to pay.

All of this of course assuning CAFC even has a future.
If it came to the crunch and AFC Charlton had to be created, I would have to concede they would probably never be able to play at the Valley.
The new Club would have to begin writing a new history.
 
If Roland is the Landlord I won't be buying a season ticket - or any other kind of ticket.

Time for Charlton fans to be told the plain truth about what is happening with the Club, the stadium and the land.

I would not hold your breath mate.

It's been lies, lies and more lies since January 2014.

The Trust have all the best intentions but it's all too polite, I'd question what they have achieved in the past six years.

The middle classes of the Trust need the likes of Dodger to inject a bit of oomph to things.

In all seriousness, I think all English clubs should be moving towards German style fan ownership.

Fans in the UK should have some kind of joint ownership of the Clubs they love.
We have to guard against letting our hearts rule our heads when it comes to finances, but fans of every Club would never allow crooks and con-men to seriously hurt their Clubs if they (the fans) had some kind of meaningful say - backed up by a strong Government agency.

The German model may well be a good one (I don't know it well).
Just as long as we don't have to wear faded denim, grow mullets and tie scarves around our wrists <hug>

To me it looks like the Premier League and the EFL are too scared to say no to crooks.

I’m no expert on the German model of football club ownership. It’s probably far from perfect. It just seems better than the Casino, I mean English style.

I think the German model is majority fan ownership.

That way at least the fans should know what shady things are going on in their club.

If not, needs to be an obligation for transparency.

I think the Club isn't in more of a mess because of the hard work of many of its 'low level' (low paid) employees, who truly love it and went further than they were obliged to in order to try to keep it safe - first from Roland, then from the scum of ESI.

I don't mind the mascots being reviewed either.
Don't know how popular they are with the kids - if they are well liked then I'm sorry about that.

But those mascots to me belong to the same insincere and failed 'make-over' of our Club by that grinning incompetent Katrien Meire.
The fans' sofa (for Christ's sake) :headbang:
The house DJ
The smutty advert
All of those things reek of her piss-taking attitude and lack of any kind of empathy, in my opinion.
If I never see Sir Valiant & Robin again it'll be too soon.

He's probably thinking of bringing these back which would be popular
