Since I Was Young

RDGRDG
in General Charlton
Can someone please clear this up for me? In this song what does the line 'I followed on' actually mean? Followed on from what?

I've always assumed the song went 'Since I was young, I followed 'em, C-A-F-C, the team for me'. But having seen today's season ticket promotional material I've discovered I've been wrong all this time. Confused.

    i assume that for younger fans coming through you wouldnt just think 'ill support charlton' i think its more of a case of following on from your dad/granddad as they support them already

    And VFR, which has become a bit of a joke these days...

    Too fast, too slow, it doesn't matter.

    Another generic, moronic, non-Charlton 'song'.

    However, the people that actually sing, love it,so that's that.

    Is there any song unique to Charlton...

    Valley Floyd Road maybe in terms of the lyrics but we share those with Nottingham Forest
    Goodbye Horse maybe?

    "Oh South London" / "We all follow the Charlton over land and see" / "Red Army" they're all generic songs

    Goodbye Horse apart, true enough, but there's something about When I was that reminds me of Scotland.

    Really? Reminds me of them ultra Palace pratts!
  • CroydonCroydon
    It is a bit palacey, and we sing it too often, and for too long, and too fast, and the clapping means I can't hold my bovril. SIDDARN!

    Think both Leeds and Arsenal sing versions of Goodbye Horse. No idea who was first though.

    Correct, think its Motherwell

    Goodbye Horse certainly sung by leeds many many years ago, think it's more likely we heard it from them rather then the other way round
