If it was played i didn’t hear it.eaststandmike said:Well how did it go?1 -
I don't think it was played. RRR, then the teams announcement, (while the crowd sang VFR), then kick off.0

It was played0

It was played. But getting the crowd to match up with it at the same time was never going to work.1
-
The PA system at the Valley, particularly the north stand speakers are knackered.
I'm not surprised people couldn't hear it....0 -
Didn't hear it at all in the west. Got a good rendition by the crowd though0
-
I heard Red Red Robin as the teams came out but then only heard the crowd singing so couldn't tell if VFR was played or not.

Didn’t hear it played in the east stand either.0

Didn’t hear it in north upper0
-
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.0

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 backeaststandmike said:Well how did it go?0 -
It was played immediately after the end of the minute’s applause, which I would assume led to it being sung at that moment.JoshAddick said:

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.5

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.0 -
I really dislike the "recorded version," sounds really tacky. Absolutely love the song, I just find playing recorded fan music very cringe.
Agree about Red Red Robin, love it.0 -
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 EndOllywozere said:

Me and @Badger are still known as the “Robson and Jerome” of Charltonlife after laying that track!😉😂5 -
Haha! Not a criticism of the singers! Just hate music like that being played. Up there with goal music for me.T_C_E said:

Is there an alternate PA system that could actually be clearly heard throughout the stadium in case of emergencies?2

Unfortunately it is Bobby Robson and Jerome BoatengT_C_E said:

Seems weird to me.Also baffled by this0 -
I don't recall hearing it. Mind you I am virtually deaf.0

AGREE.

RRR as the teams walk out.Then as soon as the ref blows to kick off, sing VFR. Don’t need a PA system forthat.1

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 .Ollywozere said:
