The Valley's tunnel gets a makeover!

SteviesDivingHeaders

Praise be to our dear leaders! All our problems are solved!

What a great plan from big Russ. I reckon this is just what is needed to see an upturn in results. We'll spank Coventry on Saturday, now. They'll be too intimidated by reading about the FA Cup win.

Cancel all the protests, I say. This is the turning point we've all be waiting for. They said they've learned their lessons - this proves it! I mean, it worked for Dowie...

Don't get your hopes up, it was done at least before the Rochdale game.

"This team never gives up"

Think they got the words "up" and "a shit" mixed up

I'm very pleased with the makeover.

As it says lots of other clubs have similar in their tunnels but of course as a museum trustee I'm delighted our history is being marked this way.

Well done Russell Slade.

No, it won't turn defeats into wins but we don't have to be negative about everything the club does.

If Daisy and Target 20k suddenly claimed this is proof of a new era then by all means have a moan but at the moment this is good news IMHO.

think its a good idea. about time they had something along the tunnel. before it looked more like you were walking into a conference room rather than a football stadium.
sadly this will no doubt be ripped from the walls and used as fire material when the protesters storm the west stand.

That looks terrific, really like it

Aw, I thought you meant Ransom Walk and was almost excited

Very good and how it should be!

Well Done RS.

Looks good to me, wonder if Kerms or SCP are on it from the League 1 title season, they should be.

No, but there are life size cut outs of Charlton legends, Thuram, Lepoint and Polish Pete.

Wow ... a reminder that we used to get crowds of over 27000 just 10 years ago. Now we're heading for crowds of 2700. Well done Roland and Katrien. Keep up the good work ....

Definitely a step upwards aesthetically, but not sure of the psychological effect on either the home or visiting teams!

Yes, pretty sure I got a glimpse of Kermorgant on the wall alongside the year 2012 so assume SCP there as well.

Aye but it's the shite that runs out of it!

Very impressive.

Will be ringing the ticket office on Thursday afternoon to renew my S/T.

Seconded. In many ways it falls under the "least they can do" category but they did it. Well done.

It inspired Rochdale, so some success already.
Russell says it will let opponents know they're playing away, so I suppose when Coventry leave the Woolwich road, go up Charlton Church Lane, turn into Floyd Road, get seen into the coach parking slot, and change in the changing rooms they will naturally think they have another game at the Ricoh, until they reach the tunnel when all of a sudden it will all dawn on them that they are in London.
Good educative initiative for those geographically challenged.

Was the sign made on Microsoft word?

Nice bit of tunnel decoration.

lancashire lad

Looks good, well done to whoever at the club organised this

killerandflash

Looks good

The external photos all around the outside of the North Stand were a good addition too

Takeovers not makeovers.

Covered End

Well done Slade. I'll give you an extra game for that. Love Peacock btw.

They can still fuck off and die as far as I'm concerned.

cafctom

I like it, but it did make me chuckle out loud when they were talking about trying to make it a fortress for away sides, then the camera cuts to Rochdale walking down the tunnel!
