I don't want the crap goal music or any forced atmosphere enhancing gimmicks, however, they are young girls in a team - the article, should any of you actually read it, talks about how it is a sport in its own right and should be recognised as so.
So, good luck to them, a bit of practice for their competitions whilst in front of a crowd, before the game or at half time when the majority of you lot will be farting and scratching your b0llocks whilst eating a pie and spilling a pint on the concourse.
Do explain why cheerleading is a sport.
They have cheerleading competitions. It's not much different from floor gymnastics or synchronized swimming.

OK,but there are also jam-making competitions,crossword competitions.They're hardly sports are they?

Oxford dictionary definition......
"An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment:..."
Clearly comes under the definition of a sport. Unlike horse racing.

I went Uni (hard to believe I know) in the states to play soccer and the athletic department had cheerleaders for their football and basketball games. The blokes were proper athletes and chucked the girls really high in the air at times. I wouldn't wanna give it a go!
If the Charlton chubbies try and start some bleedin chearleading/mexican wave in The Covered End, then they will at best get laughed out of there. In The East they will be ignored and I doubt they'd wake up The West.
But seriously, YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS.
I Can put up with us being "nice", "trainspotters", "anoraks" etc etc.
That's it. Roland, you wily old fox. He realised bar sales were down, so had to come up with a devious plan to make us all flock to the bars.....................
Feel sorry for the girls. If they're supposed to try and get Mexican waves started they're going to get dog's abuse off people in the crowd. It's just not something football fans want. Oh well.
Dogs abuse off people in the crowd? really? because a group of young girls try to start a mexican wave? More likely they'll get ignored, but I'd hope they wouldn't get abuse.
Some people spat on Scott Carson, a former player of the year, for conceding a goal recently. It only takes one or two and get a couple of drunk people near them and it'll happen. I'd hope they wouldn't get abuse too but I reckon they might
NO. NO. NO. Will be the most embarassing thing that has happened to our club in our entire existence
You don't remember Billy Smart circus then when the elephant shat in the goal mouth and killer Hales slipped up, just as he was about to pull the trigger.
some wag said after the animals left the pitch, now bring on the clowns!
@soapboxsam please tell me this is true - please !
Everytime I've seen cheerleaders at a football ground I've thought how naff it was, can't believe we're going to be one of those clubs.
And whilst US competitive cheerleaders are usually fantastic gymnasts, university cheerleaders in England tend to be shite. This is a terrible, terrible idea.
I don't get pom poms. Why are they de rigueur in the cheerleading field? I would've thought a loud voice would be the first requirement, and the pom poms would likely absorb and muffle the sound. It takes a whole hand to grab the pom pom, and therefore negates the artistic and gesturing potential of the fingers so vital to high quality cheerleading. I know I have practiced a few finger based gestures to all parts of the ground when I have been inspired by the cheerleaders when attending Selhurst Park.

Who are they competing against? The much improved pies? I think I've missed it.

We tried this when the London Broncos were sharing the Valley. Their cheerleaders did a routine at half time during one of our games.
It didn't work then, either...
Great idea charlton.
Too true Seth , i was wondering if i could join in wearing my Primark mankini?
No and no again
