    Now that it's less than a month to go til this year's Upbeats walk, the club is starting to publicise it a bit more, and there's a video on their Twitter feed and Instagram from Paul Mortimer about it
    So, who's signing up this year?

    A new kick-off time has been announced for Charlton's Sky Bet Championship clash against Hull City at The Valley.

    The fixture will now kick-off at the earlier time of 12.30pm on Saturday, April 25th and will be shown live on Sky Sports+. 

    Supporters who have signed up for the annual Upbeats Walk should be aware that the walk will still be going ahead as planned ahead of the game, however, due to the earlier kick-off time, there will be a few adjustments to the day. Walkers will be contacted directly with further information.

    Not a surprise the kick off has been changed with Hull’s current place in the Play Offs

    Surprised it's still going ahead on the day

    Logistically I mean

    We usually get to the Valley at 12 so 3 hours before kick off, if they want to do they same means getting to The Valley at 9:30 so setting off between 6:00 and 6:30 

    For people who rely on public transport to get there I:E trains it wouldn't work

    Can see a few people dropping out and being a low turn out, might be better to hold off until start of next season or in the off season do a special walk

    The course is going to be shorter and there will be changes to timings of other things such as the food etc so the walk will still go ahead. 
  • Unfortunately, I can't make the walk this year, but I am concerned that this may have slipped off most people's radar due to the early kick-off against Hull. Can we give it a bump, guys?

    The Upbeats swimming challenge was featured in the ITV EFL highlights show. 

    A warning though that it includes Peter Garland in swimming trunks  ;)

    I hope those of you that participated enjoyed the wonderful day, I have such good memories of the walk I did a few seasons ago, spoke to Morts quite a bit that day, absolute gentleman. 

    UTA!

  • Always a season highlight and yesterday didn't disappoint.
