    Yes,  the day before each game, The LGBT Charlton supporters group send an email to their members with a time that they should shine their torches in order to let other people know where they sit so they can meet up and chat. 

    Please do not turn on your light if you are straight or if you are not part of their group
  • I think it’s more to do with the fact we have a lot of Robbie Williams fans who feel let down by all the lockdowns we’ve had and are just making up for it.

    And through it all….,,

    I think that’s obvious.

  • Are none of them thinking about their carbon footprint? 
  • I have noticed since the camera lights have been happening it usually young children doing it. Also we have started loosing games since this nonsense has started, is it a ploy by the opposition.

    Phone torches, vuvuzelas, just turning into a kids day out rather than a game of football, plus monotonous rubbish like the crossbar challenge.

    Throw in the dreadful football and you really do have one of the worst match day experiences in the whole of English football.
    Throw into this whenever Brian Cole has to read anything from a script I can barely understand a word of it.

    I thought it very funny. Shame on @DA7 for ruining it.
  • Noticed Saturdaynight that it’s not muggy, cringe or embarrassing when it’s coked up boxing fans doing it 


    Completely different event and setting.
  • Bring this back to add to the shitness:


  • Around where I was sitting it was kids doing it. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion. Takes your mind off the football.

  • Quite handy for assessing the amount of free tickets given out.

    I think that was people filming the ring walks.

    Vast majority of those, if not all of them, will be filming that. Not just waving their lights around

    This in spades. Kids for a quid/football for a fiver used to be once a season promotions, with countless threads on here with complaints - even bingo cards created. Is it any wonder that doing it constantly is ruining the matchday experience for a lot of people?

    Though I have no issue with the crossbar challenge.
  • I cant believe some of the comments on here. Our beloved team is falling apart at the seams, we clearly have back room issues at the club and we are somewhere close to an all time low yet attention is being given to a few kids who want to shine their torches at the game prompting others to join in.

    I happen to think some of the songs our fans sing are shit and embarrasing........................so I don't join in.

    I happen to think the catering at The Valley is shit................so I don't eat there. 

    I happen to think some of the pre match entertainment is shit..................so I don't watch it.

    However if people want to sing shit songs, eat shit food and watch shit entertainment fill ya boots and crack on. 




    So how do you explain why you turn up to watch the football?

    I've no issue with the crossbar challenge itself, more that how long has it being going on for? How long is going to continue going on for? It's run it's course, are there no fresh ideas?

    It was more entertaining back in the day when they used to wheel out the big drum and do the VG and Jackpot tickets pitchside or put some content on the big screen or something.

    That reminds me, adults shouting fish at a completely pointless and irrelevant image on the big screen is another thing to add to the list. It's desperate.
  • I don't really care either way, but I quite enjoy the drama of people jeering them, so I hope they carry on

    Amounts to the same thing
    They think they're having fun
    Makes no sense to anybody else
    As baffling quirks go, it's harmless innit?

    And you think that makes it better?!?!?!
  • Looks like I'm in the minority but I really do hate it, just... so much. I know it's only kids messing around, and there are plenty of other things to worry about at this club and in the world... but I'm also allowed to cringe with every inch of my being each time it happens.

    MK Dons scoring and taking the piss was actually quite funny, but the whole thing makes my teeth itch and I really wish I could be more tolerant but no, it's awful. Like, a mate taking the piss out of the light show would be much more withering than the usual 'clowns', 'happy clappers', 'train spotters' etc.

    Give me goal music, the fan sofa, Sandgaard's horrendous rock tune (genuinely), anything instead of the phone lights. Yes, we're 16th and Putin is starting WW3... but I hate it, and desperately want it to stop. That's all, that's my view, imagine how grumpy I'll be when I'm properly old...
