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

Brilliant so if the ball comes anywhere near me I'm keeping itChizz said:golfaddick said: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!

Tomorrow night we'll have a packed Covered End and you'll be the only one there not holding up your piece of paper.3 -
No flags ??? They're going to be pretty pissed off when they see our "Giant Flag"Radostanradical said:
Dangerous, wish I knew the club was going to allow this as i have already bought tickets for my kids but not sure I feel comfortable bringing them in to such a cauldron of hostility and intimidation.letthegoodtimesroll said:Damn, it all makes sense now, Wycombe fans are bringing balloons so Charlton counter that with pieces of card.

expensive round, are you going to sub him?Bedsaddick said:
Much Appreciated . Can you take a few thousand with you as well ?letthegoodtimesroll said:
To help you out I’ll do my bit to alleviate the queue and go to the bar afterwards rather than going straight to the station. #youarewelcomeBedsaddick said:I'm just dreading the train station situation after the game. It's going to be manic especially if it goes to extra time.0 -

Some pundit bloke on YouTube has often said that charlton at the last Play-off final we played were the loudest for any final he's known. We can do it at times and have been brilliant of late.Woodwork said:
I think fans can make an impact on games. But I think the level of impact goes up or down depending on standard.Baldybonce said:
On a serious note. A study of players thoughts on that would be interesting. Could younger players be a bit overwhelmed and feel the pressure not to make a mistake affects their game?AFKABartram said:
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.northstandsteve said: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.
For example, the likes of Millwall, Leeds, Birmingham City can make very intimidating atmospheres for play-off and big cup and league games that do help. Millwall's record in London derbies at home and in the FA Cup cup against higher placed teams speaks for itself. They also always seem to beat the likes of Leeds and Burnley (whoever is doing well in the Championship) at home in the league. But, I don't think it would make much difference against the top, top players. The top players love to play in those atmospheres and thrive on shutting those crowds up. Inter Milan, Real Madrid etc etc wouldn't crumble at The Den or Elland Road on a Friday night. They'd love it and play to it.
We can make a loud and proud atmosphere, as opposed to intimidating imo. But that can also go one of two ways. You either have a team that respond to it, such as we had under Bowyer, or one that feels the pressure and crumbles. That is because at the end of the day, they are third tier footballers. Some will have the right mentality, others will not. Take Small, this is the kind of occasion where he needs to show that he thrives under pressure and can therefore play at a higher level. We haven't had a big, do or die match at The Valley with these players. People can go on about playing in front of 20,000 v Burton on a sunny afternoon in a dead rubber all they like, it is not the same. This feels a huge game, because it is. The likes of Liverpool would thrive on that, as they are elite players. But who knows with this group.
It's the same for Wycombe. They have third tier players too. They may feel the pressure. Or they may tell themselves all the pressure is on Charlton and actually enjoy playing the role of pantomime villains. I think if we score early, they will crumble. But I also think if it remains tight, we will feel the weight of expectation more and Wycombe will grow into it and enjoy it.
What a fun evening ahead!!
Don't knock it. Ipswich in the Play-offs at home with no roof was amazing.

still have nightmares about the time when we were playing Southampton away and the ball came straight to me as I entered the away end. I tried to throw it back and it landed half was down the stand. Cue jeers from the Charlton fans.charltonbob said:

I'm glad I'm sitting in the AC stand, so I'll be watching and criticising any slackers when I post tomorrow.
I'll be far too many beers deep by 8pm and would probably get confused and hold up my burger.1 -
Got to say I'm impressed with the paper quality; A2 glossy. Really hope everyone joins in, it could make a fantastic iconic picture in years to come.6

Rammed outside with people getting in. Queues for beer in the Curbs concourse hopeless, so will stay dry.
Decent numbers in already (19:35)0 -

The Covered End drowning out the interviews with the 2019 players and Bowyer2

5.5/10 for the execution1

But combined with the mental pyro it didn't detract from the atmosphere before the game, if anything it made it even better. (Ducks for cover!)KiwiValley said:5.5/10 for the execution5 -
Looks good. I had no idea what it said as I was behind one of the mosaics.

I thought the pre-match stuff was pretty impressive15

bloody good- best atmosphere that I can remember- got quite emotional (all the while thinking this is gonna come back and kick us up the arse!).charlton_hero said:I thought the pre-match stuff was pretty impressive3 -
It was really impressive BUT I don't think it made any difference to the atmosphere.charlton_hero said:I thought the pre-match stuff was pretty impressive
As I said earlier, when the 2019 players and Bowyer were being interviewed by Brian, the Covered End drowned out most of the interview anyway. And there would have been a mass of noise before the game and greeting the players as they came out anyway. Just as there was on Sunday without any stage managing.
Besides, once the game started, for the 1st 3 minutes, Wycombe had 80% possession, so it's not as if it affected them at all.0 -

I (and the young ones) enjoyed the pre-match entertainment. Was good to make a big deal out of a special occasion.5

Perhaps it didn't have to make a difference to the atmosphere. Perhaps it was just about doing something different, something that was fun and added a little to the occasion. Well done to whoever organised it, you did a grand job.killerandflash said:

One of the best atmospheres i can remember at The Valley, such a great night.10

Have to admit I’ve never been a fan of the pre-match flames but the ones we had also seemed set to do a specific display and the red coming out of them too was a great feature as well, best I’ve ever seen well done Charlton.8

I did get a bit worried when all the pyrotechnics got rolled out onto the pitch immediately before the sprinklers got turned on and soaked them. fortunately nothing blew up though but one of the units did catch fire and have to be put out with an extinguisher0

i was over in the West and you could feel a warm waft coming from the East- I presume it was the flames.Stig said:

There were fireworks too over the Jimmy Seed. I was seriously worried it was all a bit too much, too soon. But all’s well in the end.1
