The forthcoming season is going to be so important if we are to recover from the losing mentality of the last 3 seasons, and the off-the-pitch turmoil.
We, the fans, need to get behind whichever 11 players pull on the Charlton shirt. We need to sing, chant and generally make The Valley intimidating for other teams.
Over the last few seasons I have been quite embarrassed by our fans attempts at singing - all we ever seem to launch into is the offensive "Oh south london is wonderful" "build a bonfire" (wtf are we singing about our two hated rivals, do you think they sing about us), a couple of lines of VFR and the two north stand blocks competing with each other.
Can I respectfully suggest that if there are any Covered End choir members reading this that you put your heads together and come up with some better (and less offensive to female supporters) songs and chats. Make up songs showing support for individual players.
Hearing Leeds fans singing Marching on Together creates a positive and intimidating atmosphere. Man City have Blue Moon, Wet Sham have Bubbles. Norwich, Coventry, Sheff United fans all make a lot of noise which frankly makes me ashamed of our fans attempts. Watching Spanish or Italian football on tv I see fans chanting along to familiar tunes.
No doubt someone on this forum will find fault or mock my words, but I'm sure I can't be the only fan who wants to hear more atmosphere and support of my team.
Come on you Addicks!

Instead of asking others to make songs up make some yourself
That has to be the funniest comment I have ever read on here.
Oh, and as someone who has been to the Camp Nou on more occasions than you've watched it on Sky Sports I can guarandamntee you that the noise level there only exceeds that at 'noisy' English grounds about six times a year. Most of the time its as quiet as Highbury/The Emirates. This goes for Italy as well - I've seen Palermo play about ten times now - only twice have I seen it 'noisy' - and they were games against Catania - which weren't so much 'noisy' as 'insane'
