Those that are embarrassed, who are you embarrassed in front of? Millwall fans? They can barely spell. Palace? They always have and always will be more cringe. The rest of league one? Who cares we don’t even wanna be here. I don’t get what’s embarrassing about effectively transferring money from the pockets of fair weather fans and YouTubers to our beloved club, it’s called business.
Because it's what you do when you (as a minnow) play a big club. It's your day out Your Wembley.
Not a friggin League game !!
if you or the comms team don't understand that then its no wonder why we are lanquising in mid table.
This match is turning into pukesville big time, half and half scarves, whatever next...a fu*kin' guard of honour as they take to the pitch, bloody welsh upstarts, sounds like a good game to miss rather than a sell out...🥱
We're gonna play the national anthems before kickoff and unfurl a Welsh flag and an English flag on the pitch beforehand. Also each team will give eachother pennants. We'll also wear our away kit at home so we don't confuse the day trippers expecting to see Wrexham in Red

You think we’re in league one cos me and comms team don’t care about half and half scarves?
Certainly not going to be buying any half and half scarves, but there will be people who certainly will.
This game is clearly being aimed at targeting all and everybody - both with merch and tickets- and with Red, White and Black Day bringing around 300-400 young school kids, half and half scarves are a easy few quid!
Too many fans are quick to moan and whatever the club does to either try and increase revenues or try and get more bums on seats - and yet will be the same to moan that transfer budgets are ‘small’ or that we have to sell players to balance the books…
yes it’s awkward/cringe, but it’s not aimed at 75% of the fanbase! Our fanbase is weirdly so self important
As I said.......would Millwall do this.
The answer is a resounding NO.
They actually thrive on being disliked - and they create an atmosphere at home games that means the opposition are intimidated.
We go the other way & welcome the opposition & their fans.....even selling scarves with their names on ffs !
So I hope everyone will be happy when I cheer & clap when Wrexham score. I mean, it's what the club wants right ?
Millwall also throw coins at players, fly banners about eating babies and have punch ups with their own fans…
certainly don’t care what they do or say, nor would I want to be emulating them😂
CAST again get it wrong. No wonder they don’t have as many members as they should have.
Defending the club at every opportunity, including these terrible scarfs. Individuals who I imagine boast at dinner parties that they are on a committee of trustees!
Disappointing.
As others have said- can’t say I read it as ‘defending’ the scarves, more trying to put a more positive spin on it and bring some context to them!
you can’t mould a turd, but it’s probably worth trying to roll it in glitter once or twice!
Unfortunately, the supporters trust simply cannot win with a section of the fanbase - whatever they do is wrong, which is a sad state of affairs
Charlton fans: Our supporters are rubbish, never show up anymore
Also Charlton fans: Look at all these plastics, I prefer it when it's just the hardcore
The club literally can't win in some people's eyes. Some people like to be unhappy
Are they our supporters though? I'd like to know what regulars have heard from friends or family or those with an affilation to charlton of their genuine interest in coming for this specific game? Seems to me like the majority of this 10k extra crowd will be there for some disney franchised nonsense of a football club. If any of them lifted there head up from there tv and looked at a map they would see there's dozens of clubs in London all going through the same roller coaster of emotions that come with following a local football club. A huge difference to when we packed the valley out for doncaster in the play offs, with everyone knowing the importance and magnitude of the occasion and what it meant to the club and its genuine fans
Does it matter if 500-1000 of them love the experience and come back?
You're allowed to come and watch Charlton without having a previous affiliation with the club.
I really don't understand this "where were you when" attitude some people have. We have to build new fanbases out of new generations and this is the modern way.
Or we could just stick with the same core of 10-12k for the rest of time.
Will you complain too if we go up and our crowds improve then?
Couldn't agree more. Bums on seats brings money in to the club but also a fan has to start somewhere. Getting them in to a game is a start point to converting them to a fan. If we get another 7 or 8,000 fans in for the day and we get a few hundred that say "I enjoyed that, I'll go again" and so it grows. There's literally no negatives to getting a bumper crowd.
This will also get lots of internet exposure and lots of column inches which is all good for the club
Three points will be the icing on the cake
Agree 100%. It's more than likely a chunk of them will love it and come back, regardless of the result.
My first game when I was a nipper was a 0-1 loss to Sunderland to a crappy penalty sat in the Jimmy Seed because the Alan Curbishley stand was being re built.
I told my dad I wanted to go again the next home game, and have wasted countless hours, emotional capacity and money on this stupid fucking club ever since.
I like what the club is doing and am all for it
I think that wss our first home league defeat after returning to The Valley. Remember seeing Terry Butcher play for them.

His latest work, that he wrote, has just become the highest grossing R-Rated film
Rob McElhenney is better though!
And just because you've not heard of them, doesnt make them nobody.
No need for that childish response

Not childish at all.
