The most important thing about a match day is winning. And when that happens we all like to celebrate in different ways, clapping the players at the end is a big part and quite rightly so. Therefore it must be annoying to those who find the owners song detracts from that, however, there will be also some who like or don't mind the song and what they may find more annoying is those who let a trivual matter like a song, not any song but one from a person who pays the players wages and keeps the club running, detract away from the performance and result.
i think there's going to be a meltdown on here if the rumour is true that TS is thinking of doing a rock cover of Cyndi Lauper's hit "Girls just wanna have fun". Which will be played after every Charlton Ladies victory.
The "saved the club" appreciation honeymoon has now completely surpassed.
I can see behind the mask. The bloke does have self inflating ego and it is a problem.
Compare the problem to the Belgian waffle...then that is only the waffle to victory and it makes TS sound like a very good owner of the club.
TS is showing indications that he believes the sun shines very brightly out of his own ass, but, he attends games, he has put loads of his own money into the club and he openly communicates with the fans.
We can't have it all our own way. It just is what it is.
I think this is bonkers to be honest. I don't think there's a mask with Sandgaard, he's one of the most transparent people I think I've ever seen. The ego isn't hidden but it's not a problematic one, he just likes when the fans like him, and he's always been completely open with media, fans and anyone who has asked him anything about his intentions with the club. He's listened to feedback when he's misjudged stuff and he's binned off thousands in revenue in recent weeks to fill The Valley with freebie tickets to the benefit of loyal season ticket holders. He's not bought the club because he really hates his children and doesn't want them to get any inheritance, he's obviously someone who enjoys the positive attention he gets from fan adulation, but that's just going to encourage him to do things that improve the club's standing so it keeps coming. He's nothing like the other owners we've had who think they're never wrong. 'I can see behind the mask'. Honestly, like being proud that you've figured out pro wrestling isn't real.
Pro- wresting isn't real - you should have tried telling my grandad that! He was so into it, it was funny. A conservative, frugal, well-qualified man - even honoured by the Queen, who turned into a fanatical nerd once Grandstand started at a Saturday lunchtime.
It's clear the vast majority dislike it, so i would assume someone has told TS this. It can't be that hard to nip it in a bud and stop playing this shite after a win. I thought his theatrics before the Wednesday game with his guitar were embarrassing, if Palace did that we would be taking the piss. It's not really a big deal, but it is annoying and people are allowed to calll him out.

Is it really that clear?
No not clear at all to me, I would say the vast majority are probably in the couldn't care less camp.
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
This, absolutely spot on.
Yeah, must be difficult for you @LargeAddick, not being able to sit and have a little snooze like at your Adele concerts and suchlike. 😁
I think it’s fairly shite and the less I hear it the better unless we are always going to hear it after every home win in which case I hope to hear it often. Dilemma
Did we really used to play this after a win Henry?!? Bit before my time haha!
One of my earliest football memories was hearing this song after games at The Valley. That and crushing the paper cups on the East Terrace!
Haha...excellent stuff @AllHailTheHen. Great memories I'm sure 😀
So we now have TRRR, Into The Valley, ATV, Sir Cliff, The Begees, London Calling and that Squeeze song from 1998 on the Spotify playlist! Oh and Bryan Adams' "we're gonna win" from the Prem years. Just the timings to sort out now....
If you don't like it, take some cheese to stick in your ears (something like mozzarella or camembert would be suitable) and bite the bullet for three minutes or so however long the dirge is on for. Its not important really and it has cost TS a lot of money to carry out his amateur musical experiment on a captive audience.
It does frustrate me that football fans/human beings in general get bothered by stuff as insignificant as this.
However, on the flip side, if Thomas really wants to be a good and respected owner he should know that this is the exact sort of thing that would be divisive and should have stayed well clear of doing it in the first place.
I guess the positive to take from the moaning about a song at full time is just that. Things are good and looking forward so you iron out the little problem rather than our existence or transfer embargo’s being the issues anymore. But fuck me we’ve got some delicate fans!

So agree about us having some delicate fans. And whilst everybody is entitled to their opinion it never ceases to amaze me that some people who are wetting themselves over a bloody song sit behind their keyboard and continuously moan whilst our owner who their comments are directed about continuosly losses money whilst funding our/their club!

It is amazing how people will always find something to moan about.
By the way, 'so' should not be followed by a verb. I suggest 'I agree very much with you about ................'
Maybe wait 2 or 3 minutes and then play it? Or play it quieter at first and then ramp it up a bit? I have no problems with the song or TS's approach to how he wants to change things at our club. Refreshing actually.

'No women, no cry'
Feel a bit for TS as to how much of a big thing it's become.
But uh...it's also kind of catchy.
🎶We hear the battle cry...🎶
