Heard it north upper but only for a few seconds inbetween the teams and the referees whistle. Reckon it could work well if timings are sorted out better.
Didn’t get played. But there was a moment after the one minute applause whereby there was no music being played, so it was sung properly then. Sounded very good and louder than it has been for a long time. Gave me genuine chills knowing that we’ve got our Charlton back

It was played immediately after the end of the minute’s applause, which I would assume led to it being sung at that moment.
There have always been two problems - the singing goes at double the pace of the song and then drowns out the track anyway, and the speakers in certain parts of the ground aren’t what they used to be so some find it difficult to hear it clearly.
Red Robin is an embedded fabric of the club. No way should anyone even think of removing/changing it. Always makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when i hear it.
One of my earliest memories of attending The Valley (I was about 6 or 7) was being taught the words of RRR by my brother. I have never not sung it since then - it is part of the fabric of our club and must never stop being played as we come out.
There was a good rendition of VFR without the PA before the minute's applause. Would always be a bit more special if we slowed down how we sung it, but that was good.
Fair play to @Ollywozere, it did indeed come on the PA after the applause, but it's pretty quiet so it just doesn't land. I think it would be worth persisting with, especially if His Excellency™ wires through some cash for new speakers at some point, but it would also take a concerted effort from those near the drum in the Covered End to sing at the slow speed too, which I'm not sure I see happening.

My mistake mate, maybe I just couldn’t hear it over the crowd and drums. Probably doesn’t help that I sit in the Covered End

The music that accompanies the video is shocking . It’s just sounds like a wall of screams in the north stand . Is there any way we can have the old music that went with the video or at least something a bit stiring .

I'm not surprised people couldn't hear it....

Agree about Red Red Robin, love it.
Me and @Badger are still known as the “Robson and Jerome” of Charltonlife after laying that track!
AGREE.
