Tomorrow is one of the most important days in the history of our fine Club.
I don't care if you are Tory, Labour or a Liberal Democrat.
I don't care if you think Parky is right or wrong.
I don't care if you think Lloyd Sam is lazy or an enigma.
I don't care that Steve Waggott is our CEO.
I care that I am Charlton and you are Charlton and tomorrow night we need to be Charlton together, united, as one a band of brothers.............
What's he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
COME ON YOU REDS!!!!

I know we are comfortably good enough to beat this mob, I just hope the players do as well.....atmosphere needs to be rocking before kick off.

Agree. Lets make sure we get singing before, Im nervous already. I booked the day off, got the dentist at 10.30 then going to get on it. This is our time to stand up and be counted. This is HISTORY.
I gotta work till 4.55pm cant be bothered to work now getting tad nervous but we can do it! Big game, we need big performance and good attitude
You know how to suffer Cray, the dentist and a play off game on the same day, are you into pain??? ;-)

I'm hoping i experiance the highs and lows all in one day ;)
I just hope after the past 3/4 seasons we can have a really good Valley moment, from seeing this team go 19 games without a win last season we are owed something tonight!
Today i am nervous.
Just hope the players go at the game exactly how they did in the Norwich and Leeds games. This is potentially their last game of the season, so lets make sure that absolutely everything is given.
I've been sent on loan to the East Stand tonight to try and raise some atmosphere, COME ON YOU REDS !

PS We all know that the play-off outcome has massive implications for us, but if events don't pan out in our favour, our continued positive support would be vital.
I blame the Daily Mail
I will be contacting the Mail about this.
Sums it up for me as well. Just hope everyone gets behind the boys tonight.
Wish I was there.
Sing your hearts out and keep the faith
That is the question!
