    Sacrilege, they can mess about with the kit, change the song or whatever but they can't take away the memories or change history. And on a solemn note many Addicks sadly no longer with us will have had this played at their funerals. KM take note and have a word with RD to stop the meddling with tradition please.

    This is the survey! Leak a rumour. See how fans respond. React accordingly.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, the players should run on the pitch to Kick Out The Jams by MC5.

    Say goodbye to your feathered friend. Katrien has the red-breast in the sights of her twelve-bore.

    Precisely. Got it in one. My own view is that its harmless if a little twee. But it would not do at the moment to get rid of one tradition too many. And RedChaser makes a valid point about traditions and history. It costs RD nothing to keep this.

    It has to be that one. 'Let's welcome the two teams onto the pitch.' 'KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHER******S!!!!!!'

    Maybe we need a new version of RRR, by a modern beat combo like Arcade Fire?

    She wondered about it changing the song. People sung it back to her, case closed.

    It won't be changed.

    the voice of 10 fans drunk singing it to her may have not changed her mind :)

    Goal Music is the worst thing EVER

    Its more Embarrasing than putting a thread about hair highlighting on a football forum

    It was mentioned the other week by a director who won't be named! that red red robin was boring and they were thinking of getting rid of it!

    We'll this resulted in it being sang numerous times out in Belgium to show this said director that we weren't having it :)

    If you like it and want it to stay before kickoff it might be time to sing up lads!

    Thoughts?

    wind up? if true, then the "director" is an idiot that really doesn't get it, much like the new hull city owner. if resolute, "people power" will always win out, so yes, i am grateful that those on the ground will sing up & make the point loudly!

    No NO NO NO NO
    What?
    ...replace it with the obsessive indulgent idea of one individual who thinks they know best.
    NO NO NO NO NO
    Seriously, I would not have bought a season ticket if that had been announced before.
    What?
    The Eye of the Tiger?
    ca plain pour moi?
    ...or that techno crap above???????
    Some other copied chite from Arsenal like we have copied their catering?

    This is sacrilege.
    BOLLOCKS
    No NO NO NO NO
    Some other chite that pins us down to 2014 or whatever.

    The RRR is now timeless, it is not getting us tied to an era even if it is just post war, it is identified with Charlton Athletic for good or ill and it lives beyond any particular context.

    No BOLLOCKS TO THIS

    I really love 'Achilles Last Stand' by Led Zeppelin but I wouldn't force it on the folks at the Valley simply because I like it and think that musically it is better than RRR.

    I hope this is a wind up...it has worked I am wound up.

    Heard we are getting the theme tune Standard Liege Reserves run out to. They are getting Carl Zeiss Jena's tune. Carl Zeiss are loaning the Alcorcoran, (or whatever they are called), ditty for a season. Alcorcoran will be getting Red Red Robin - all of this is provisional though on the Standard B theme agreeing to the move to London - it wants guaranteed first team airtime.

    But if it's true, then should we just stand back and watch one more bit of our heritage, history and tradition be stripped away because a couple of Belgians don't like it because they don't understand it?
