Not a problem with the initiative, just not sure the timings are right here - similarly the giant flag that will be traversing the West Lower at the same time. Both should be done and dusted immediately before the team comes out of the tunnel.
"IMPORTANT: Please ensure that when our popular 'This is The Valley' video begins to play on the stadium big screen, you are ready in your seat with tile in hand! The queue (sic) to lift your mosaic tile will be the ending of the 'This is The Valley' video - just in time for the players walking out."
If the normal matchday routine is in force the 'This Is The Valley' will have finished five minutes before the players emerge from the tunnel (one of my recurring bugbears about home matches).

According to the email I got I’m in the West Lower even though I’m in the Covered Upper and got my ST seat. Had to check the ticket in my apple wallet to be sure!

Same here! Myself and Mr W both got west lower and covered end emails. We never got the email for our season ticket (covered end) tickets but simply downloaded to the wallet. Mr W is going to email the ticket office just to make sure there’s not been some mix up!
I've just received an email addressed to me personally starting " As you're sat(sic) in the West Stand Lower tomorrow...." . My season ticket seat & tomorrows is in the Curbs' Stand....
And what follows is instructions regarding unfurling & passing along a giant Charlton flag & passing it along towards the Tunnel.
How the feck does the club think those concerned ( IF the email reaches them) will remember these instructions after being in the Fan Zone/Crossbars for the past 4 hours and taking a few drams in that time ?
I wait with bated breath to see what those of us in the Curbs' Stand will be advised to do.....
" As the players exit the tunnel, stand on your seat , count to 3 & then leap off raising your arms above your head and shouting " CHARLTON"!
Cue the St John's Ambulance peeps rushing around to the East at the same that colleagues are trying to untangle a large number of fans from a flag in the West whilst trying to dodge thousands of mosaic tiles which are being hurled onto the pitch ....
What a load of pr bollocks i'ma just have a few pints and sing. Edit just realised I'm the west haha so it will be have a few pints sing and get told off for being to loud by the usual bores.
Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. The mosaic last time out was very popular and lots of people online have asked for that and the return of the (unusable) Hales flag.

But then the team can’t see it, isn’t the point to show some support to the team? I get it stops clapping but it doesn’t stop singing
I'm a bit surprised at the negativity about this. The club are pushing the boat out to try to pump things up a bit for the most important match we've had for years. Good on them, and I'm looking forward to seeing it and to the whole atmosphere.

Yes, we are having a run through this evening at 19.45;
Didn't you get the email 🤔

I'm NOW being asked to help unfurl/pass along ANOTHER Charlton flag from my seat in the Curbs' Stand !
Now, I will admit to being a multi tasking person but look like I'm going to be running around like a headless chicken as ko approaches ...
All getting a bit Palace for me, but I suppose people like it.
So, howsabout we hold them up (very Palace) before screwing them up and throwing them at the Wycombe players (very Millwall)?
They'll be collected up after the match & sold to Topps Tiles.
An ingenious idea to help increase our transfer budget.
But all credit for doing stuff. It could be great.
1-0 already to Wycombe.
Just leave the fans to do what they have always done. Sing, shout & cheer. No other bollox is needed.
This & the half & half scarves just proves to me that the owners haven't a clue how to run an English football club.
Utter gash.
Ps. I'm in the Covered End tomorrow. If there is anything on my seat when I get into the ground its getting torn up and/or thrown onto the pitch.
