    Looks good, very good well done to whoever did this, shame none of the current staff will feature on any tunnel wall in the future with regards to glorious history (Jacko aside)
  • Let's hope it's bricked up at the pitch end.

    It looks a hell of a lot better, well done Russell and the Comms team who still get Charlton and are fighting to keep some identity in the club.
  • Looks great and a million times better than before, but i couldn't help but laugh at Slade's comment:

    "It immediately tells the opposition that they are away from home,” said Slade. “That is what is says to me – we have arrived and we are away from home today.”

    Yes Russ, pretty sure they would have already worked that one out on the team coach to the ground.

    I do like a tidy tunnel.

    I thought this one was a bit too wide.

    Who gives a shit what the tunnel looks like, we don't pay our money to look at that, we watch the shit on the pitch, sort that out first before decorating the poxy tunnel.

    Is there a picture of Graham Moore or Alan Campbell on the wall?
  • Glad to see the club focusssed on the really big stuff, this will really put the wind up the oppo.

    The Club at the moment reminds me of a building that looks good but is falling down because it has got no foundations. Let us make sure we bake the cake before we put the icing on.
  • Delighted to see our club's history marked in this way.

    Well done Russell Slade.

    When Rusty goes, at least he left his mark in the tunnel.

    It 's just that when the Belgian fucktards hired Brussell, I assumed it was as a half decent footballing man and NOT an interior designer!!!!

    So, may I suggest more 3 points on the Valley pitch please and for fuck sake stop the twat from measuring up for curtains and throw cushions?

    AND also, shall we just leave it to the visitors to work out they are playing AWAY from home?

    God if I was an opposition player I'd pretend I'd left something back at home (i.e. clean underwear).

    I ain't walking down there!!

    Good - but it'll never need updating while RD and KM are here.
  • You want to make The Valley a fortress? Fine.

    Just stop telling the oppo where the spare keys are hidden and that there's plenty of tea, coffee, and sugar in the cupboard!

    No, but it will when they leave
  • It looks good some fans will moan about anything

    It is a decent touch and is to be welcomed. A lick of paint and some very nice wall paper always smartens the place up. Without trying to question a very worthwhile message regrettably wallpaper is however only skin deep. If it is to be more than lip service we all need to see the substance behind the message.

    Fine words from KP but look around the stadium. Fortress Valley with a crowds of 6/7000 in a 27000 seat stadium rings a little hollow ......in every sense.

    The best analogy I can draw is to reference the Agile thread. For years I had run my own business projects involving any range of IT solutions. Under a reorganisation projects were outsourced to the IT function. They were good, apart from controlling budgets. IT chose to draft in several new project managers. It was truly painful. The new guys had little IT/ business specific understanding. All they knew was process. Every document had the same 6 pages on project management and 2 pages on the business deliverable/ IT requirements.

    No doubting their intent but the process is a means to an end not an end in itself.

    I recommend the SMT hold their meetings in that tunnel, study a section of the wall to try to understand what is depicted, what success looks like, aspire to that success, learn how it was achieved, learn what it means to be part of an inclusive competitive organisation, learn what it means to the thousands who want to do nothing more to come and sit in the stadium into which the tunnel leads .....and see the same successes and achievements today.

    Then the new wall paper will mean a great deal more to everyone.
  • How much did that cost? Usual crap tinkering around the edges, saying customers, look at what we have done for you, er lets forget about the last three or four years, relegation and the crap that is served up purporting to be a football team.

    Solution? get out of our club.

    We need some Killer Clown wallpaper and some real Killer Clowns at the end of the tunnel and also in the opposition dressing room, to scare the @&%$ out of them.

    If the tunnel wall paper is helping to spruce the place up for potential buyers then all well & good.

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







    No mention of first ever substitute though. Shocking!!!

    Is this the only mildly positive initiative anyone's seen since the regime moved in.

    Waiting for the blown up mural of Daisy accepting an award from the Leuven Rotary Club for being the most successful unqualified Belgian lawyer ever to manage an English third division football club.
  • Is this the only mildly positive initiative anyone's seen since the regime moved in.

    I quite liked the 1905 YouTube preview show they started broadcasting at the start of last season with @Ollywozere, @PeteF and a special guest.

    It was a shame it stopped (although understandable), hopefully Olly and Finchy can kick-start it again once new owners come in ...

    Ironic then, that Russ keeps setting us up like we're playing away from home.

    Didn't do them much good though, they're bottom of their league.

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

    I saw it last night, not sure if the players a featured but the promotion season is well covered.

    Nice bit of tunnel decoration.

    I'm sure the SMT can paper over that crack.
