Do explain why cheerleading is a sport.suzisausage said: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.

They have cheerleading competitions. It's not much different from floor gymnastics or synchronized swimming.Redskin said:

Its an american thing...attempt to make a big deal out of absolutely anything and everything.
It is not something that belongs in south east london.0 -
NFL have it...not knocking that, as its their tradition.0

I assume they compete against other squads as it mentions in the article. In the same way synchronised swimming does I guess.Redskin said:

No. Just trying to not be so precious about our football club. Let everyone else enjoy it even if it doesn't float your boat. As I said earlier, the comments on the food thread indicate that a large number of you go to the concourse at half time or arrive just before kick off so it may not even affect your enjoyment of the actual match. Unless they happen to be sat in your row when starting a Mexican wave and charlton fans around you start booing loudly to get their kicks0

It doesn't take a genius to know what will be the response from some sections (home and away) to seeing a group of young ladies performing dance routines at a football match. Which could be embarrassing all round
Personally I'd rather not have them but its nothing to do with me and I dont have to watch them. I'll probably go for a pint on the concourse.

If they're there to start a Mexican wave what happens if there ain't no Mexicans in the crowd?
Waste of time.3 -
If it's on the pitch for a few minutes at half time I've got absolutely no problem with that, but I do during the game for the following reasons:suzisausage said:No. Just trying to not be so precious about our football club.

1. We have wrecked Palace for this too much for us to take it on.
2. It doesn't belong in a football ground. Crowd involvement comes naturally in relation to the game or through it's heritage and history (VFR or RRR)
3. It won't work. Oh hey that 18 year old girl with her back to the game wants us to stand and wave like Mexicans. Pointless.
4. Palace do it.
5. They have their own stage, why do they need us and why do we need them?? If we want to give them exposure there is a big car park or space outside the north stand where they can perform or promote
6. Palace do it.15 -
For years we've laughed at how pathetic the Nigels are for trying to create an atmosphere at Sellout with the flares, fake ultras, cheer leaders and goal music.
Now we have a low rent version of the Palace Slapperettes or whatever they're called we're supposed to suddenly say it's OK because they're just some girls having some competitive dancing practise on the pitch?? Sorry but that would be hypocritical of me and I think the overwhelming response on here is the same from posts so far.
Also, I wouldn't worry about boos as the obscene chants and sexual "banter" thrown their way will undoubtedly be louder than that.
The whole idea is an embarrassing misjudgement... and in this rare case I actually think the use of the word "embarrassing" is valid. When they step onto the pitch and try and get the West Stand doing a Mexican Wave "embarrassing" will be the only word for it.
If something similar had happened at the AMEX on Saturday (for example) we would all have been pissing our pants laughing at it... and now it's going to be at the Valley.
No no no please no15 -
No abuse from me. I will be in Bartrams playing with my nutssuzisausage said:
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.Garrymanilow said: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.

Most of the packets were thrown back at them!BansteadAddick said:Any one remember some years back we had Walkers Crisps promo girls doing some sort of cheerleading for the first game of the season v Birmingham, around 94 or so? They did a terrible out of sync dance and then threw crisps at the crowd. One of them loved the typical chant they received and happily bent over in response. Very embarassing...

I don't care what time it is, they have no place at the club3

I've no problem with an occasional half time display in the same way as we'd have the ball juggler and the local scouts taking penalties but please not every week!4

Reading the article it definitely sounds like the plan is for them to do it *during* the match....
Oh dear0 -

I don't mean to be rude to the girls but we can't be doing this. We are a championship squad and they are no more conference south. We can't be outdone by palace.
Just dont do it in the first place.3 -
Will other young 'athletes' get the chance to perform at The Valley his season or is it just Cheerleaders?1

I ate mine. They were prawn cocktail flavoured. Very apt in the circumstance.shirty5 said:

Nothing against the girls but please God no.
This is far and away the most important thing the trust should get involved with. I now don't care if RD plans to asset strip us in the future and the club merges with SL and disappears. This is No1 priority!4 -
After a serious bout of skepticism, I've been relaxing a bit as the fortunes of our club look to be on the up. And now this. So wrong, on so many levels.
Katrien, please: NO, thank you. It's not for us. Prevent the hassle and let's enjoy The Red, Red Robin. That's us.2 -
We as fans must surely have a say in it. We don't f*ckin want it.0

Out of interest, do they they do this at Arsenal ?5

I know CL doesn't always represent the majority of Charlton fans but I think in this case it overwhelmingly does.6
