Heard this chant coming from the covered end on Saturday home to Luton and am proud to say I was the only one who stood and gave you a song, was in a brown coat and thought I'd give the West stand a try seen as it was a cup game.
Fair play to the lads in the covered end, albeit there wasn't many of you, you tried to create an atmosphere from the home end as we were clearly out voiced by the 3200 Luton fans at their cup final.
If we get to the third round I hope all the covered end, bar the wally who threw something the other night, to be at Tottenham and out singing them like Luton did us! CAFC CAFC!

Sorry excluding Red Army clap clap clap
Or is that a crime?
Thing that get's me is, if the North Stand is so noisy and "passionate" then how do they know that nobody in the West Stand is singing??? Oh, I forgot - it's a sweeping generalisation. If you sit in the West Stand you must be a mute prawn sandwich eater, musn't you.
BOR-INNNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!
My wife wonders why I won't sit with him
Still, just think, if the people in the West Stand - that we don't really want and can do without - didn't come and pay about double for their tickets than most, that would mean the unwashed in the Upper North might have to fork out more for theirs. There's a conundrum, eh? What to do.
I know, do you reckon there could be one thread dedicated to the lack of atmosphere at the Valley ?
Now we just need someone to start a thread about Alan Curbishley and we'll have the whole set !!
You'd have to be pretty simple if you can't manage both.
That's like saying, i can't watch the Football while im sipping my bovril..It's not one or the other!
That was the last time I ever sat in the West stand.
You're mental. How dangerous is that? do you know how hot the Bovril is?
It's nothing to do with being simple - it's more about choosing not to sing and shout like a muppet.
Don't get me wrong I love the atmosphere when it's rocking but I'm quite a reserved chap and don't particularly like making a show of myself
Am I still allowed to attend?
If you sing or shout, your a muppet?
That's fair enough, what gives the Charlton fans there name i guess.
Flask bringing, tartan wearing trainspotters.
I will never go near the West Stand again, i like to be a "supporter" not just a happy clappy "fan".
The fact only just over half of the west stands up to cheer a goal sums it up really, what happened to the Valley!
Might hear some noise from the west if there was some bovril spilige around the goin area!
So nothing fancy

So in other words, your boring.
I am taking the piss if nobody has guessed yet.
We are the L block, we are the l block, we are the l block covered end!
I'm not saying everyone who sings is a muppet - but some of the vitriol and shit that gets spouted makes me cringe.
I'll shout if I disagree with a ref, I'll cheer when we score.
Does your singing of "your sister is yourother...." make you the life and soul of the party???
And sorry if that text pisses anybody off.
True, but the point about going to a football match is to sing, shout and enjoy right? And some people might say sitting there in silence is enjoyable (f*** knows how) but that's up to them I guess.
Ask any player or management and I am sure they would all agree with the people wanting a little more noise from the West Stand.
How difficult is it to comprehend that some people who attend football matches might not want to sing and shout? Do you really expect elderly fans (for example) to do this?
And I bet the players and management couldn't give a monkeys about how much noise is made by the West Stand.
It's the one thing (unbelievalbly) i hate about supporting Charlton. The home games are boring and it's such a nice enviroment for other teams and fans to have fun in.
Going to away games such as Southampton and other clubs of similar stature, you look at the fans making it intimidating and loud and you think why can't the valley be like this! Every club has it's stands where not much singing happens, but even the roar when teams like Southampton and Derby ect score is immense, on tv the away fans sound louder than the home fans when they score at the Valley!
It all comes down to having the raw passion, alot of our fans would rather sit there and put on the loud voice when there is moaning to do.
Well said mate, spot on and so true.
