The Valley's tunnel gets a makeover!

Praise be to our dear leaders! All our problems are solved!

What a great plan from big Russ. I reckon this is just what is needed to see an upturn in results. We'll spank Coventry on Saturday, now. They'll be too intimidated by reading about the FA Cup win.

Cancel all the protests, I say. This is the turning point we've all be waiting for. They said they've learned their lessons - this proves it! I mean, it worked for Dowie...

  • think its a good idea. about time they had something along the tunnel. before it looked more like you were walking into a conference room rather than a football stadium.
    sadly this will no doubt be ripped from the walls and used as fire material when the protesters storm the west stand.

    Looks good to me, wonder if Kerms or SCP are on it from the League 1 title season, they should be.

    No, but there are life size cut outs of Charlton legends, Thuram, Lepoint and Polish Pete.

    Wow ... a reminder that we used to get crowds of over 27000 just 10 years ago. Now we're heading for crowds of 2700. Well done Roland and Katrien. Keep up the good work ....

  • Definitely a step upwards aesthetically, but not sure of the psychological effect on either the home or visiting teams!

    Yes, pretty sure I got a glimpse of Kermorgant on the wall alongside the year 2012 so assume SCP there as well.

    I'm very pleased with the makeover.

    As it says lots of other clubs have similar in their tunnels but of course as a museum trustee I'm delighted our history is being marked this way.

    Well done Russell Slade.

    No, it won't turn defeats into wins but we don't have to be negative about everything the club does.

    If Daisy and Target 20k suddenly claimed this is proof of a new era then by all means have a moan but at the moment this is good news IMHO.

    Seconded. In many ways it falls under the "least they can do" category but they did it. Well done.

    Nice bit of tunnel decoration.
  • Looks good, well done to whoever at the club organised this
  • Looks good

    The external photos all around the outside of the North Stand were a good addition too

    Well done Slade. I'll give you an extra game for that. Love Peacock btw.

  • They can still fuck off and die as far as I'm concerned.

    I like it, but it did make me chuckle out loud when they were talking about trying to make it a fortress for away sides, then the camera cuts to Rochdale walking down the tunnel!
