Charlton Athletic fan group CARD (Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet) have reformed in response to the row between majority shareholder Tahnoon Nimer and chairman Matt Southall.
In a statement posted to their official Twitter account, the previously defunct group confirmed that they had taken the decision to mobilise amids concerns over how the Addicks are being run.
Originally set up to oppose the ownership of former owner Roland Duchatelet - who was bought out by East Street Investments in January - CARD have called for fans protests under the banner of 'Southall is not welcome' ahead of Charlton's home game against QPR on March 17 at the Valley.
The group's statement, released on social media, read: "CARD reforms to help remove Matt Southall.
"The Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet (CARD) has reformed in response to recent developments at Charlton and plans to organise a mass protest outside next Tuesday's home game against QPR, assuming he match takes place as planned."
CARD's Twitter account now reads: "We're back to campaign for Charlton's future. And really not happy about it."
A spokesperson for Matt Southall declined to comment on the group's reformation and plans for a protest ahead of Charlton vs QPR.
Fans had hoped that the removal of Duchatelet as owner would usher in a more positive period for the south London club under manager Lee Bowyer.
However, the Belgian still owns the freehold for the stadium and training ground, even though the new owners are legally committed to purchasing his holding company Charlton Athletic Holdings Ltd.
This obligation is understood to be guaranteed by Nimer, as reported by football.london.
Charlton fans are no strangers to fighting for the survival of their football club. Even before the arrival of Duchatelet supporters had to wage a seven-year campaign to get their team back into their home ground of the Valley.
In 1985 they left the stadium following a period of financial trouble which forced the Addicks into administration, with the venue still owned by another former chairman, Michael Gliksten.
Fans even formed a political party to get their club back into their stadium, The Valley Party, and in the end supporters raised more than £1.1million was raised to achieve the goal of taking Charlton back to their historic ground.
On the 25th anniversary of the completion of this successful campaign in 2017 fans took the opportunity to look ahead to a time after Duchatelet.
Rather than closing the book on such a dramatic period in the life of the club, the row between Nimer and Southall threatens to add a whole new chapter to the Charlton story of controversy and discord.
