    Love the Upbeats!!!

    Amidst a really poor run of results, when they went freestyle on the pitch versus Derby at half time a few seasons ago was one of my favourite and most proud moments following Charlton. So proud CL has been able to play a part in their journey

    A great team - I just love their laps of honour and seeing both home and away fans applauding them.

    I know I have said this a few times but this is an outstanding thread, one of CL's very finest.
    Magnificent stuff, Nug.

    Absolutely agree! The Upbeats are an amazing team reflecting all that is special about our club (minus RD and KM). Thanks for a teary start to the day... again. Loving this thread.

    Brilliant again. At the end of the month will there be a chance to get a link for them all together so we can share with our friends and family who don't look at CL?

    Yes, what I'll do in a couple of weeks is put a thread together with no comments but with a straight run of all the days

    Amazing. Possibly the best yet. Time to put something of for sale to raise some money for the Upbeats.

    love The Upbeats. The sheer joy, the unbridled happiness, The Upbeats is a very apt name.

    That's done it for me, brought tears to my eyes. This is one aspect of the club KM cannot destroy.

    You'd like to think so but I would put nothing past her. Hopefully the club will just continue in their support of The Upbeats and not try to hijack them for their own ends.

    Ffffs they bring back happy memories but make me wanna go all Liam Neeson on Roly .
    What a pleasure it was to watch Kermorgant play, a true artist of the game .
    Each and every person responsible for him leaving should hang their head in shame for the rest of their clueless lives .

    A goal scorer who knew how to hit the back of the net time & time again.

    Sadly, our current players need a SatNav.

    TBF Meire did the charity walk for the Upbeats.

    The Upbeats are yet another great example of how the fans, the Community Trust and football club can work together to achieve great things and change people's lives.

    Specifically in this context of harnessing the reach of Charlton Life to win the original competition and so funding that helped set the programme up.

    If you like the Upbeats you should check out the South London Special League they run tournaments just round the corner from the Valley. Truly amazing day for all concerned, the charity I work for had team that went regularly for about 3 years, generally had about 20 teams for each tournament for people of all abilities. Some amazing players out there. To Sharon (she organises it all) and any of her team if you are on CL please keep up the good work you are amazing.

    Brilliant - would love to see an Upbeats match at the end of a full match. I'm sure a good number would stay behind and there could be a collection on the way out. Wouldn't that give them a special moment?

    She did the walk but that was a long time ago. Would she do a similar walk now? I doubt it.
    I wouldn't, however, put it past her to cite the work with The Upbeats as something great that the current regime has instigated.

    She did the walk in 2015, I wonder how much she raised in sponsorship, the cynic in me she she only did it to raise her profile with the fans, I remember a number of people going out of their way to talk her. She was nowhere to be seen last year.

    plenty to have a go at the Club / individuals about, this isn't one of them. A reminder that this is a thread aimed at celebrating the good things / moments regarding Charlton. Lets try and keep it positive please guys. thanks

    Imagine if a thousand plus of us disaffected turned up to follow the Upbeats every week... a team well worthy of our full support.

    Remember when we scored from corners rather than conceded from them?

    His importance to SCP's promotion-winning team cannot be overstated.
