It's fine as a song to play as fans begin to filter out of the ground but it's blasted so quickly immediately after the final whistle, it feels shoehorned in. One of the best parts of winning games at the Valley is being able to soak up the atmosphere after the final whistle and I can imagine how frustrating it must be to be denied of that if you are there.

This and afka's post is the point I'm trying to make.
No issue with it being played but same as when it usurped RRR before a game previously the way it kicks in and dominates proceedings the second the whistle has gone completely nulls the authentic euphoria.
Might work at sports "events" stateside but is ill matched at the valley and what you've perfectly outlined.
Just can't believe the things people will find to moan at. If we play like that every game he can play it as long and as loud as he likes as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed entirely. I was horrified when somebody on another thread jokingly suggested to Sandgaard on LinkedIn to start goal music. It could easily happen! And that would be horrific.
Imagine if addicks to victory came on 5 seconds after the shootout against Doncaster ended! That whole whirlwind amazing euphoric a Capella moment.
It’s not that big a deal, and I’m not into heavy metal etc but don’t actually mind it - just needs a bit more sensitivity / consideration of timing so the main event (ie supporter noise) is appreciated at its best. You wouldn’t have background music playing on the speakers at an Adele concert!
I think it probably depends where you sit. In the East it is deafening. I absolutely hate it and it’s a massive deflator at the end of the game. The players are clapping the fans and walking off, it should be a buzzing atmosphere but instead there is no singing as they are force feeding noise through the tannoy.
I love the Red Red Robin a thousand times more than that 80s crap, but I don’t want to hear that then either. Play it once the tunnel jumps done as the fans are leaving and leave the end game celebrations to the fans, players and Jacko to show a bit of appreciation to each other. Let us sing to Jacko, Stockley, Gilbey etc
What the boss says, it killed the atmosphere tonight, again, its too loud and feels forced, post tunnel jump would be fine.
Is it Thomas' instruction that that is when it should be played, or is it somebody else trying to keep him happy? At the end of the day you should listen to your "customers"!!
Heard it on the BBC Radio London coverage. Killed the atmosphere in my living room too and the radio presenters were struggling to speak over it. Glad it's been pointed out here at least.

Brilliant win and an excellent evening under the lights. Got to give it to jacko now.
It just flattens the whole experience at the end when we win. Can't stand it.
You still think you're down with the kids or something? Because, sorry to say, you're not.
Pretty clear what’s drowning what here!
if it is that loud in the middle of the pitch, it’s even more loud in the stands.
Welcome to the club!
