Roland's sidekick has mystery guests

Roland's point man Lieven de Turck had not been seen at The Valley since the play off final and his small band of fans feared that he may have been reassigned to a new role in the Belgian's business empire.

However, he reappeared at the match against Birmingham City. VOTV editor Rick Everitt commented that this 'may have been the first Saturday match he’s seen in 21 months representing Duchatelet.'

He had guests who had been shown around but sat elsewhere. According to the Rickster, they 'were a party of five who sat in west block C, four men and a woman. Men were Middle Eastern in appearance, according to eye witnesses. At that stage I understand they had had two meetings with LDT but not made an offer.'

The Ramsgate-based fan notes, 'Other established interested parties - Aussies, Dalman - have been briefed by Charlton about the new approach, which might suggest an attempt to smoke them out, if you’re a cynic.' As many are when it comes to takeover rumours which usually turn out to have less substance than the mist rolling in from the Thames.
