Support the Valley Flags Campaign
Today saw the launch of the Valley Flags Campaign, and What was the score? has joined forces with New York Addick to help this worthy cause from this side of the Atlantic.
The Valley is no different in my view from many other new or remodelled football stadiums, where the move to create a environment for families has seen a reduction in good old fashioned passion and singing. Clapping as I have said before has become the new chanting!
Bringing back the passion to The Valley does not mean that we need to lose our envied reputation as a place to bring families and children. In my experience people like to feel they are part of something very special and this is what being a Charlton fan is all about.
Large poignant and
emotive flags and banners are used already in some of European's most atmospheric grounds. With the backing of Addicks' most committed and passionate fans, The Valley can be a special place to watch football again. Please therefore support The Valley Flags Campaign in whichever way you can.
