Is he gonna be there? Didn’t know he was a Forest Green fan.Croydon said:
Seems im not the only one who was unsure. Didn't know if it was being sung as a tribute to the late Queen or a welcome to Charlesstop_shouting said:
I think deep down you know the answer to this.Croydon said:Stupid question but are we supposed to sing King or Queen tomorrow?0 -
The Queen is dead, long live The King. The anthem is dedicated to the reigning Monarch - our anthem changed at 6.30pm on Thursday.PaddyP17 said:I think it's now "king" but I do find it odd that this changes immediately, during mourning. I'd have thought GSTQ would make more sense as a farewell? But hey I dunno, I'm hardly a royal expert3 -
Nothing less than TS with his axe on the roof of the Covered End will do for me...Wheresmeticket? said:Maybe Thomas could do a Hendrix / May type cover.
I've already got my coat.

Great bit of business that by Curbs.Cafc43v3r said:The football league v seria B thing when Curbs tapped up Danny Mills?1 -
Wasn’t a great effort, we probably shouldn’t have sung it at the controversially quick pace that we sing Valley Floyd Road these days.0

The most horribly out of time singing of the national anthem followed immediately by a rendition of tits, fanny and Charlton was the respectful send off that proves football should have gone ahead on Saturday10

God saved our noble King
And God made Charlton
Draw at home to forest Green

I was there for England v Croatia ladies/women.Henry Irving said:been some England Women's international games played at the Valley.
In 1952 when the old King died Abide with Me was sung
What about when Charlton played the People's Republic of China, were any anthems played then?
I can't remember tbh.0 -
Can the Covered End actually hear the tannoy, as it's not hard to sing along to a recording? The rest of the ground managed to finish at the right time!se9addick said:Wasn’t a great effort, we probably shouldn’t have sung it at the controversially quick pace that we sing Valley Floyd Road these days.3 -

Yeah that wasn’t the issue. The problem was lots went straight from the first “god save the King” to the “send him victorious” bit, there’s supposed to be a little pause in between.killerandflash said:

Two blokes near me couldn't be arsed to stand, or put their phones down. One bloke actually spent the whole time just looking on betfair, barely looked at the pitch all match, could have saved himself £29 on a ticket and upped his stake.1

I stood for the minutes silence as I would for the passing of anybody short of a Putin. I sat and stayed shtum for the anthem. #NotMyKing.8 -
I was on the lower north and it seemed to me that half of us didn’t even start singing the national anthem because there was no coordination as to what stage/words in the song we were supposed to be. I seemed to be getting the sound of unclear speakers and part of the upper north hitting my ear drums and none of the 3 sources were in sync, with the upper north finishing way ahead of the muffled music.killerandflash said:

In the Curbs stand you could hear a loud and clear (sung) recording of GSTK to sing along toletthegoodtimesroll said:

He’s not on the betting page though, he’s on the HR portal.Lordflashheart said:

I’ve hardly ever sang the national anthem but I tried it last night to get in the spirit of the acknowledgement of the passing of the queen. I almost got through the sing song without fault until the last bit when I said Queen. I was so so close. I’ll go back to not singing it at all.0
