Abstract: We describe two opposing combinatorial properties related to adding clubs to $ \omega_2$: the existence of a thin stationary subset of $ P_{\omega_1}(\omega_2)$ and the existence of a disjoint club sequence on $ \omega_2$. A special Aronszajn tree on $ \omega_2$ implies there exists a thin stationary set. If there exists a disjoint club sequence, then there is no thin stationary set, and moreover there is a fat stationary subset of $ \omega_2$ which cannot acquire a club subset by any forcing poset which preserves $ \omega_1$ and $ \omega_2$. We prove that the existence of a disjoint club sequence follows from Martin's Maximum and is equiconsistent with a Mahlo cardinal.
