Sandgaards ego can do one (Ed. And it has for now)

Good post. Certainly for me I now live miles away and even before Covid didn't get to the Valley too often. But if someone said what do you remember about Charlton in your childhood it's the very first thing that comes into my mind. I do think Sandgaard will take it into account and all he's done is made a mistake, one easily fixed.Ormiston_Addick said:Red, Red Robin is OUR song and connects all of us to OUR club and OUR ground and it should not be messed about with.
I am not easily moved to tears but if you put a grainy video on of our greatest players, Bartram, Welsh et al and that big band version of Red, Red Robin then I will be shedding tears instantly.Why? Simple, because hearing that song at The Valley on a cold winter’s afternoon with the teams running out triggers something deep inside that explains why we turn up at 3PM every fortnight whether in the Premier League or League One, it’s that sense of belonging to something greater than ourselves.
Charlton Athletic is NOT just a football club, it’s not just eleven blokes running out at The Valley, it’s all of us, all of our collective memories and emotions bundled together and inextricably linked forever.
So, you see, when we see Jayden Stockley running out in 2021 with the Red, Red Robin blaring across The Valley that connects us emotionally to all those generations of Charlton fans, including our own flesh and blood, that have gone before us for all those decades before.
Please put it back where it belongs.2 -
Poor show if the opening paragraph is true.razil said:Apparently the fan adviser didn’t know about the RRR change, might make one question what the role is actually for.I am happy to go with mistaken over enthusiasm here, as others have said prefer that to sneaky bastards observing our traditions then trying to rob us. Time will tell though.
I feel communication with fans needs to be genuine and go in both directions, without that this kind of thing as well as numerous other niggles will continue to spoil the party.0 -
I guess he didn't think it was a significant change and was just a piece of old music, not something that links generations of fans to the club. Hopefully someone will have a word and it will get sorted, if it don't ...... BUNDLE!!!!!ElfsborgAddick said:

Just heard addicks to victory song for the 1st time.
I like the song itself. Nothing wrong with it at all. You've gotta love Charlton. We are one rather bizarre odd funny club to support.
Roland could perhaps be in the music video.
Looking his miserable old self while doing an enthusiastic Michael Jackson dance.2 -
He'd struggle with the moonwalk what with all that Duck / Duct tape on the sole of his shoe.....Dave2l said:https://youtu.be/oVl6cqavGZk

“Charlton has a fantastic and storied past and Red, Red Robin is a part of that history. It is incredibly important to the fans, so it’s important to all of us at the club and it will absolutely continue to be played as the lads come onto the pitch on Charlton matchdays.”

I would quite like Addicks To Victory to be played in our changing room, tunnel and the stands before the RRR starts up.
They just need to edit out the ooooooaaaahh bits.3 -

Personally wouldn't mind this being played as the players come out for the second half6

Yep, regardless of whether this was the "original" plan or not that's a very graceful step down and acknowledgement.CAFCTrev said:

if they had just explained why, as a one-off, they wanted to play it earlier then all this angst could have been avoided (although I doubt that was the case personally) but at least now it's been rectified.2

Says a lot about the man's character that he has a) taken the time to even acknowledge this and b) said what he has said on it.
Well played TS32 -
Can all those with wet pants, please go and change .. thank you13
-
Well I’m very disappointed.3
-
Good statement and I agree with the suggestion to play Addicks To Victory immediately before the players come out. Well done TS.

Can we close the embarrassment that is this thread title now please. The man has saved the club and completely has the club’s interest at heart.18

Definitely play A2V a couple of minutes before they come out . Although I didn’t want it to replaced the RRR it did sound bloody good on Saturday even through our crappy PA system.2

Never once, in the history of Charlton, has any angst been avoided. It is inevitableLargeAddick said:if they had just explained why, as a one-off, they wanted to play it earlier then all this angst could have been avoided (although I doubt that was the case personally) but at least now it's been rectified.

Good statement.
He's a wise and experienced chap.
I hope he wouldn't have taken negative feedback about it to heart and doesn't feel like it was wasted effort.
It is a good record, sounds decent and it's welcome enthusiasm for the club 👍0 -

Can all those that called this out as wrong take satisfaction in the change that it has resulted in, whilst acknowledging that TS has done the right thing._MrDick said:Can all those with wet pants, please go and change .. thank you4 -
Right, whats next on the piss and moan list ?19

The title of this thread was wrong from the get go. TS is an honourable man, in my opinion, and has listened to the fans, but as I've said on other threads people seem to finding reasons to knock him, just look at some other forums and social media!
For what it's worth I quite like A2V and hope it's played, maybe during the team warming up?, RRR is part of CAFC, but I have to say I can't remember the last time it was sung by the crowd, it's normally VFR that's belting out!
We have finally got an owner that cares, give the guy a break please!

Well played TS, felt the title of this thread was a tad over the top from the start when you consider what Sandgaard has done for Charlton20

As I started the thread at 5.33 on Saturday, I'd request that it stays. At that time it was absolutely correct, and based on the number of likeminded comments I wasn't alone in that point of view.RC_CAFC said:Can we close the embarrassment that is this thread title now please.

ps you can't close a thread title. You can change a thread title, or close a thread.3 -
Imagine that, an owner who can acknowledge a mistake and listen to what the fans so desperately want. Put down the pitchforks now please17

I think you will find that a lot of people sing and clap along to it, agreed it's not belted out with gusto but then again I don't remember the Goodison Park crowd singing along to Z-Cars.Redmidland said:The title of this thread was wrong from the get go.
