Charlton fans throw flares and mini taxis on pitch and cause stoppage in Sheffield United clash in latest protest at Roland Duchatelet

CHARLTON’s home match against Sheffield United was halted inside a minute after yet another fan protest.

Supporters are desperate to get owner Roland Duchatelet out of the club and used Saturday’s League One clash as another opportunity to demonstrate against the Belgian.

Straight from kick off the referee had to call a halt to proceedings as furious Addick followers vented their fury.

Hundreds of rubber balls were thrown from the stand and a flare was let off as the Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet (CARD) group chanted “We want our Charlton back”.

It is the latest stunt by the club’s frustrated fans.

Earlier this month they sent a black cab adorned with their messages to Duchatelet’s his homeland.

To mark the businessman’s 70th birthday, CARD covered the traditional London taxi with the slogan “Taxi for Roland” and “We want our Charlton back”.

A number of matches at the Valley have been marred by similar incidents this year.

It was not the ideal start for Karl Robinson, who took over as manager of the club this week.
