Just took a listen and remembered what this club can be and what we can achieve when we all pull it together!

See you Saturday, COYR!!

    My grandparents lived in Delafield Road
    Right across from the Valley
    And when ever Charlton were playing at home
    The sound of the match would carry
    As I grew older I went to the ground
    And joined in with the singing
    I became one voice in a very big sound
    It’s so great now that we’re winning
    So when Saturday comes
    There’s no time for glums
    There’s no time for losers at all
    And when the Robins sing
    It’s a happening thing
    There’s no time to take your eye off the ball

    Down in the Valley
    One Two Three Four Five
    It’s in the net
    So say goodbye

    Down in the Valley where the Robins wait
    Drums keep beating
    As a new dawn breaks
    The team’s in the tunnel
    And emotions run high
    We’re back in the running
    Our dreams are alive

    Down in the Valley
    With the Mums and Dads
    Kids in the red shirts and the woollen hats
    The tribe is meeting in the covered stands
    This is the passion of the Charlton fans
    It’s another great reason why you’d want to be
    In south east London with the family

    At the end of the day
    We’re going to roll up our sleeves
    It’s a game of two halves
    If you know what we mean
    We are over the moon
    Or as sick as a pup
    And it looks like from here
    The only way is up

    Written for the Sunderland Play off final I believe - unless I dreamt that.

    It was indeed, can't say its the greatest of songs but the sentiment is there!

    Loved that song and played it so many times before the play off final!

    Not going to lie, I really like Squeeze, but this song is heinous.

    After the play-off final surrounded by Sunderland coaches this was blasting out with a Charlton flag out the sunroof.

    Happy days.

    I bought this the day I queued up 5 hours for the Wembley tickets. Great memories....

    Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. Bought it on the basis that it might be the only chance I ever got to buy a CAFC Cup Final Song. It's not good though - sounds like the theme tune to a kids tv show! I was expecting more when they said Glen Tilbrook was doing it.

    Have to agree. Wouldn't be anywhere near my iPod if there wasn't a Charlton connection.

    I love it.
    There is no better tailor-made Charlton song
    (is there?)
