Come in red red robin your time is up?

Godstone

I think Y.M.C.A would create some atmosphere

I know whenever I need some motivation and get the blood pumping I stick on mull of kintyre. Banging.

Good question about when it was first played. It was being played in 1980 and that's good enough for me. Keep it.

It's part of us.

Think YNWA is a bit more anthemic and singalong-able than RRR.

Both American songs and both have no place in English football. I see no reason why either club adopted them. If we were still known as the Robins or Liverpool were always worried about getting home safely then maybe there would be a small arguement.

Nonsense.

I think The Red Robin is a decent poster on here and gives out a fair share of lols, so for me he stays...

Double bollix the original post...Gerry and the Pacemakers about as scouse as you can get (yes I know it was a cover but it was that cover that was adopted by the Kop)

At least we're not Everton and have to listen to Z-Cars every matchday.

Hell NO... Its one of many things that put Charlton apart as a Football club... If we were to ditch Red Red Robin why not...

(1) Get Cheerleaders
(2) Replace our Stadium with the generic bowl shape design.

Just NO end off!!

we basically have that now, what the f*ck are that dance troupe about?

Rossman92

Is Z-cars as bad as Pigbag at QPR?

First of all, can we sack the fecking drummer who beats out a drum and bass style rhythm no matter what the tune is, and secondly, can people stop chanting other songs over the top when RRR is playing (something the NU do every game) and that way people might actually take it for what it is, which is our song. Then, play VFR at the kickoff, not MOK, and get everyone to sing along to that, again at the original speed not the kiss 100 remix we seem to try and rap to

cafcnick1992

Since we're making demands, whenever the NU sing Since I was young, can everyone else just sing ANYTHING to drown it out?

Even if it means singing Miiiiiiiiii

colthe3rd

As this has turned into a general moan about what we sing, can we make sure for the big games this season that VFR is not sped up so fast? I know everyone has had too much haribo before the game but I could barely keep up yesterday. And I listen to hip hop!

What happened to since I was Young
Don't think that got an airing saturday , unless it was sung so quick I missed it

Was being sung fairly early on in the game by the Covered End Choir, but definately wasn't being sung as much as usual. Replaced with anti-Millwall chants, I think! :-)

Fiiiiiish

Why not negotiate? so how about keep the red red robin lyrics but add some sort of Dub step/drum & bass/jungle background tune to it?...

That's a classic piece of 'proper' football music! Much rather that than something allegedly more 'motivational'

Weegie Addick

Think we should make more of RRR - would help if drummers/ NU joined in, instead of conflicting with it - what about shouting "Live, love, laugh and be happy" as loudly as we can at the appropriate moment?

Please stop raising this subject, the Red Robin Rules !

We should have Dizzie Rascal sing a rap verse half way through, specifically noting his troubles with bitches and money

Have to say I am surprised, given Katrien's love of dance music, that the RRR has not been replaced yet with something northern european like 2 Unlimited. That could be fitting as there seems to be No Limit to the downward spiral they seem intent on taking us.

I think its us who want to be Set Free, from the belgian meglamaniac!

Leave the song, get rid of the management/owners, start there.

RodneyCharltonTrotta

Dangerous precedent. Start getting rid of things like Red Red Robin and then before you know it we're practising cannibalism in the west stand and worshipping satan on the pitch at half time whilst an orgy takes place on the sofa.

Slippery slope so let's not lose our morals. Not in my name.

mogodon

Personally I am astounded KM has not tackled this as part of one of her Apprentice-type corporate away-day think-tanks. Given the only Belgian singer I can think of, guess it's either Ca Plan Pour Moi or the Belgian national anthem (presuming they have one)?

Suggest the song the team runs out to is the least of our problems at the moment. Given it was played on Tuesday and we immediately went 2-0 up, how about we play a snatch of it every time the ball goes off?
