Yeah noticed this the other day. Genuinely at first I was like wow what a nice stadium, then I saw Valiant House and the trees and was like, oh it's us!
I'm gonna say CGI? As it seems like it would cost more than the bother to get that many people in, surely someone would have noticed that many people filtering in and out on a non-matchday as well.

Either way, excellent ground use for an ad.
I think it was on a couple of times before I realised it was the Valley! Admittedly I wasn't really paying any attention to it as a sky ad, but I was surprised I hadn't realised first time! Also surprised there wasn't a thread on it before - I was too embarrassed to start one to ask if anyone hadn't realised first time, like me
We should hijack that song so that every other teams fan associates it with Charlton every time the advert is shown, the second line of the chorus for the actual words was clearly penned with Charlton in mind though it’s too cheesy imo to be used other than as an intro for something else
jones lifts us up where we belong where eagles cry under a Valley sky jones lifts us up where we belong when we’re champions we know The beer will flow, the road is long so we’ll sing this song…

Well the club contacted me and asked me to be a crowd extra for a new advert filming at the Valley. It was only me that turned up so they used CGI to duplicate me 27,000 times.
I can't remember the thread it was on but this was mentioned and I said at the time if we get paid every time the advert is on the club will make a fortune.
'This required removing any identifiable features in terms of logos, artwork and advertising bills and slightly modifying the environment around it.'
I did wonder (albeit eventually!) if some of it looked different, but generally too much the same not to know. I think I looked up at the end and saw the tower block behind the Jimmy Seed and the penny dropped
I remember it being filmed at The Valley about 2 months ago. They even borrowed a couple of shirts from the museum. There were only about 30 fans dressed in various team shirts.

Assume they filmed a block of 50-100 people and extrapolated it to make the ground seem full.
“love lift us up where we belong”

Awe shucks...I didn't know you cared...🙄
A quiet place
Silent witness
Have all been filming on the Charlton riverside over the last couple weeks.
It was mentioned on here at the time as I posted some photos, probably on the new pitch update thread.
The quasar shirt you see was loaned by the museum.
There were maybe a couple of hundred extras and one blank white overhead flag. The rest is CGI.
They also interviewed a lot of real fans of many EFL in kits for vox pops but ive not seen those used.
Should have been a nice fee for Charlton.
