They don’t want the Covered End to clap the players when they come out ?

Oh dear.

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. 

In England, throwing objects onto the pitch at a football match is illegal and taken very seriously. Here are the key legal and disciplinary aspects:

Criminal Law

Under the Football (Offences) Act 1991, it is a criminal offence to:

"Throw any object onto the playing area or into the crowd without lawful authority or excuse."

• Penalty: This offence can lead to arrest, fines or even a custodial sentence depending on the severity.
• Football Banning Orders: Courts may issue a Football Banning Order (FBO), preventing the individual from attending football matches for a period (typically 3–10 years).

Three to ten years? Yes, Golfie, do it!

A nice touch would be a song for Seb a couple of minutes in.

I totally understand the club trying to ramp up the atmosphere, but I don't think there is any need to. The place will be rocking anyway, my concern is the hype comes back to bite us on the arse.

 Ultimately, fans can build up atmosphere, but cards being held up, flags being passed round and songs being sung will have zero impact on what happens on the pitch.

Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don’t – But Tonight, We Do!

Let’s face it — Charlton can’t win sometimes. Pull their finger out and try to make a big night even bigger? Cue the moans. Do nothing and treat it like a midweek match in February? Cue more moans. But credit where it’s due — the club have clearly pulled out the stops to make tonight one to remember. So, I’m saying it now: thank you, Charlton!

This is the most important game we’ve had in six long years. That’s six years of mid-table mediocrity, managerial swaps, and wondering if the Bovril machine will be working. So let’s give the club some applause for trying to create a cracking atmosphere. The Covered End Red Wall, the TIFOs in the West and East stands, the 1987 heroes parade — it’s all part of turning up the volume and making it feel like a proper event.

Let’s be honest, none of this is going to stop the fans singing their hearts out. If anything, it’ll give us a proper boost before kick-off. What’s the issue? Yes, it’s still “just a match” — but it’s also a semi final with a Wembley Final as the prize . The intentions are genuine, the execution isn't half-bad, and yes, they got their act together slightly late (par for the course), but it’s all positive. Even giving 1,000 seats to the Jimmy Seed stand for our lot and that cracking drummer video — it's all adding to the buzz.

You just know that the EFL and Sky are quietly rooting for a Charlton v Orient final — a proper London showcase, a guaranteed large crowd, a potential Wembley classic. Only a few thousand Wycombe fans (and maybe a nervous ticketing department) will be against it.

So bring the noise, bring the good vibes — and most of all, bring it home. COYA’s!

Damn, it all makes sense now, Wycombe fans are bringing balloons so Charlton counter that with pieces of card. This could get seriously hostile….
