What's your own matchday style?

Weegie Addick

Following on from the 'Bloke behind you' thread, time for some home truths. How might the bloke in front describe your behaviour? Guess I'd better go first:

I'm polite, professional and fairly reserved in normal life. Then I get to The Valley. I'll join in the singing, wait for quiet all around before yelling abuse at the ref or the opposition, and will occasionally even mutter loudly about our own fans when they are having a go at Dennis or leaving early. Others would probably describe me as a screecher. Mr Weegie has been known to hide his head in his hands in embarrassment on occasion...

Your turn. Go on, be honest now...

MCS

Lagg boat and smoked out. Very shouty and probably a right pain in the arriss. I mean well tho!

Ketman

Think I would be classed as a sheep I stand & Sing all game but seldom start any songs of my own, happy to join in any other song though.

Rodex

We sit in the front row, so spend a good deal of time screaming abuse at the opposition coaching staff and fourth official, most often if they get in the way of our line of view.
SIT DOWN,GET BACK IN YOUR BOX and my favourite MIND YOUR F*****G LANGUAGE.

I reckon i'm one of those completely annoying characters who everyone thinks 'oh god, here he comes again' but actually miss me when i'm not there. Not only do i sing more than the 100 people around me put together, I don't have conversations with my mates next to me, i have to share everything i say with the 100 people around me.

I try my best to be the block comedian - think i'm funny all the time, but nine times out of ten i'm probably not.

I'm away for the first game of the season, and i reckon there will be a few relieved people that will think i've moved elsewhere !!

For AFKA - I am probably the same but a bit taller AND when pissed I know I talk complete botox - NO COMMENTS PLEASE

Sco

"i have the quiet and reserved sco behind me."

I can quote the bloke in front of me :0)

StanmoreAddick

Loud- opinionated and scruffy with or without a drink in me- but add a very if i have.

(which i hasten to add is getting more common now that i don't drive to matches and have met a few of the Lifers)

Four or so seasons ago I wouldn't watch a match without having drunk at 4 or 5 stellas in the Oak between 1pm and 2.45pm...meant I would turn up half p*ssed and then generally scream foul abuse at the opposition from the off (from the quiet of the halfway line in the East Stand)... I'd lose it during the game and then end up in the Angerstein for a few more before heading into Greenwich for a night out... Quite a few of my neighbours moved seats...

I then toned it completely down when a number of things happened: more kids started sitting around me, my wife got totally fed up with me, Oakster moved to Canada, my son was born and my dad started coming to matches with me.... Now I sit in relative silence, occassional singing, fair bit of shouting, but mainly biting my nails and wondering why I didn't have a few drinks before I got to the match...

Charlton Dan

Bladdered and loud......

I read that as all Oakster's fault....... :-)

Charlton_Charlie

Lol - well, I'll accept some responsibility, but yes...he's mainly to blame (and Rav, for going on the wagon and getting a girlfriend....)

addick1965

I'm in the east stand so no noise whatsoever & stone cold sober ;)

Elthamaddick

normally half cut as I stroll in just as the teams come out, always need the loo 20 mins in and then off 5 mins before half time for a pint....normally pretty loud and outspoken and don't tend to hold back with my opinions !!

markwebb25

i like a few beers to relax me....but not 6pints as then i start to enter the 'i cant remember anything' category plus doin it on a regular basis dents the wallet a fair bit. nice and loud, but a bit of a sheep also in that im not a chant starter! although i have some good ones in mind for some of our teams this season

Off_it

It depends.

HOME GAMES: I sit with the old fella in the West Upper so don't really get involved much - the odd expletive and bit of abuse hurling but that's it.

AWAY GAMES: Early start, get bladdered up, give it large, get up on the fence, start off the singing, knock off as many coppers helmets as I can, ruck in the streets, look for other fans at stations on the way back, ruck on the train, go boozing, onto the Griffin, Africab home/night in the cells. Job done - "it's wot going football's all about"!

LenGlover

Usually drive and usually have my daughter with me so drinking limited. Depending on how early I am I might have ONE pint in The Bugle. Alternatively I will sometimes have ONE pint with some mates afterwards in The Bull on Shooters Hill.

Often though I don't drink at all.

The daughter likes to get sausage and chips from the chippy opposite Cherry Orchard so we normally do that. Sometimes we bump into members of the Charlton Board slumming it:-)

We then go to the ground and she likes to have a bet on the score and scorers so we do that and then go to our seats and watch the warm up.

Very sedate really!

valleyman1973

ive got a big bellowing voice, i do get stared at alot, its as if theyv'e never heard anyone shout before, but i lose myself in every game, try to be funny also, probably not though!!

Weegie Addick

I'm a bit worried that none of the other women have said anything. Am I the only one that screeches?
