What a breath of fresh air to see such passion, pleasure and exuberance! It makes me so proud to support this club and all it stands for. They loved their appearance and showed it in style.

They were absolutely brilliant, if only the team showed as much spirit we wouldn't be where we are now.

Sillybilly

Derby fans were great with them too.

Talk about enriching a dismal afternoon, they were a joy.

LenGlover

Highlight of the day.

Cardinal Sin

Sillybilly's right - the Derby fans were as enthusiastic if not more so than ours.

Elthamaddick

Great stuff, especially when a few of them went off on another lap of honour

Henry Irving

What a great bunch of kids. Privilaged to have met some of them, their parents and coaches at their Xmas do and then see them on the pitch.

And very proud that it says "Charlton Life" on their shirts

It's what we do.

And it's why it makes that blokes criticism of CL in the last Voice even more bizarre. Wonder how he views this.

Athletico Charlton

Highlight of my afternoon by a long way.

Through all the gloom since relegation from the PL the clubs work in the Community is one thing every fan can and should be very proud of.

We support a special club.

Success on the pitch is cyclical, especially for a club of our size; and you have to learn to take the rough with the smooth.

Watching the sheer delight in the faces of the Upbeats as they did their laps of honour was special today.

Cheers for everyone who organised.

Just Brilliant, They look the part in the kit as well.

DaveStorry

An absolute pleasure to watch those laps of honour today. Athletico says it all above for me.

I was under the West Stand as they all walked through to go onto the pitch and I am telling you now I have not seen happier and madly excited kids in all my life.

Fair play to all the community guys and helpers as they looked a right handful to look after! Was interesting watching the interaction between the kids too, they just couldn't wait to get on the pitch.

Best thing Charlton as a club has ever done by a country mile.

Whenever we do something for / with our community I watch the opposition fans reactions, Derby county should be proud of their fans, great reception

johnnyhumphrey

Absolutely.Well done,Derby fans.The Upbeats were so refreshing and uninhibited in their joy.Not something you see very often.Thank you Charlton for all the club does for its community.

I spoke to a few Derby fans after the match and they all agreed that The Upbeats were brilliant

They certainly brightened up our dismal afternoon ! Bless 'em !

Th Upbeats were absolutely brilliant. I'm not sure whether Harvey the cat will have recovered from their exuberance yet though.

The Upbeats joined us in the studio for an interview before the game, you can listen here: https://audioboo.fm/boos/1800518-the-charlton-upbeats-on-charlton-live

Hearing whispers that folk may need to stay in their seats at half time next week.

I've just been told my speculative guess was incorrect, so feel free to do as you will as the Upbeats will not be on the pitch at halftime.
