GlossopLatic Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I couldn't be arsed and was heading up sheepfoot lane like most of the crowd by the looks of it. If the players wanted to show the fans appreciation for the support then they should have put in a performance what a thoroughly awful display that was. I hope all of the players heard the reception Roger Palmer got at half time that shows how much we appreciate greatness we might be a difficult hard to please bunch of supporters but we do appreciate those that make a difference He earned every clap of every hand that respect was earnt over 14 years of playing for the club it wasn't just given to him he earned that right to be given that kind of reception Legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKI1234 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 There were only about 200 hundred people for the players to show appreciation to... Good. Hope they realised that most fans couldnt be arsed to stay/turn up like they have done to us on many occasions this season. Hope I never see half of them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 me too, although the tumble weed was firmly rolling around the ground by time they got to the RRE. Shame, they couldn't make it those extra few feet more to the touchline at least. This actually pee me off a little bit as there was three kids with me who could have done with a wave a least. Eaves was the one who actually got to the billboard to see some youngsters and shake some hands, don't know who got his boots though as he was in his stocking feet. Got to say Charlton got the best lap of honour - IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeylandLatic Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I walked out of the RRE thinking they weren't gonna come out but i was goin past the mainstand when i heard a few clapping so i jumped in there and went up into the upper tier. I shouted GREEEEEEEEEEEEEGAAAAAAAN and that was about it. Very few stayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 No one got his boots, he had them on as he went back up the tunnel after the lap, must have hid them in a very discreet place as I didn't see then in his hand...

Thanks for agreeing, obviously they wanted to get showered and off to town. Peed me off more that my hubby sponsored one of them and he couldn't didn't make it over to the bill board as he knows roughly were we sit/stand in the RRE either: a) Didn't see me with three kids in an ocean of space by then or wanted to get the hell outta Dodge, shame really as it would have made the kids day just to shake his hand and say hello.

underdog Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Go on, drop a name, you know you want to ;) Nope gonna make you work for it - c'mon you have limited choices of only X amount of players who got on the pitch and if you have a programme even better as you could hazzard a guess of that one too Wanna phone a friend? PM me the name and if you get it right....free pie or pint first game of next season....

Nez Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 As awful/miserable as it sounds I couldn't be bothered waiting around for the lot who went onto the pitch to clear off. If I wouldn't have had to have waited for them to haul themselves off the pitch, I woulda stayed behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think about it, it could have been Stephens instead of Eaves who came over to the bottom corner. I had my contacts in and can't see a thing these days with them in...my excuse for attempting to watch a crap game. Makes you go blind amongst other things....

rosa Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Possibly the most half-hearted and perfunctory lap of honour i've ever seen. wish i hadn't bothered staying, it summed up our pile-of-sh*t season. Although if i'd headed off at the final whistle i would have missed the retarded children getting off the 24 on Nuthurst Road shouting "Champions League, you're having a laugh" (no i haven't mis-typed that) at the Charlton fans, then visibly sh*tting themselves and running like f*ck when some of the Charlton fans starting running at them. Well done, if you wanted to make a bus full of people p*ss themselves laughing,mission accomplished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetman Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I stayed, never seen a lap honour like that before, from players or the fans. Poor show all round. Glad that that season is finaly over, but already looking forward to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevesidg Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 We stayed and yes it was embarassing, for the players,and the 2 or 300 fans who stayed til then. It was Stephens who came over to the touchline. Still, better than the last home game last season, when no players came back out at all. Here's to next season, things can only get better...
