Listen Louis Walsh, you're wasting your time here alright?

Wait there, did he say he was a Charlton fan??
And he only watches the game on the tele? I mean thats not a problem, but surely hes not really the best judgement of how the fans in the ground are treated.
Time, waster.

Ok, I'll take that back re Charlton.
I don't have feelings over Fratton Park.
Why are you bothered about the singing side of the Gwladys Street? Some fans like to sing, some don't, some now and then. Why do you have a problem with that? Why should we all be exactly the same?
And so you should.
I've been to Goodison and sat in the Gwladys Street, I'll be honest and say there is a lot better atmosphere in The Valley. If anything, people should stop swearing.
I think the one thing thats better is that Charlton tries to create a carnival atmosphere, the club regularly give out klaxons and jester hats before the game to increase the fun atmosphere. My nine year old son got free tickets from Charlton in the community for winning a Fleetwood Mac singing contest in his local scouts club.
All these small things help I feel.
I heard they have the Charlton all male singing section at The Valley. Ticker tape and balloons an all.
Ticker tape was banned after a 79 year old season ticket holder tripped up over it and lost a hand. Our manager then, Curbo, announced the ban on the pitch with a microphone at our next home game.
Balloons though, we got loads of them. Really great at kick off. I regularly get my facepainted outside for 30p too.

Exactly, little things like that do help, no doubt younger kids love all that stuff. I've been going in the Gwladys St regularly for nearly 20 years, and we used to get non stop singing loads in there til reserved seating. It died down to virtually nil, and it's hugely down to ticketing. I and many others who are into that part of Everton have asked for even the tiniest improvements and its a constant no. I know of our potential you see, it's frustrating!
Facepainting seriously helps and some of the young lads get into the spirit and take their tops off, even in the winter.
I can't take my top off (I have a really embarrassing birth mark that looks like a werewolf around my left nipple) but I really would. We also hired a local bar MC, Chazzer: local legend and top bloke, who whips the crowd up into a frenzy before kick off.
Honestly mate, something as simple as foam hands for the kids would be a big gesture but Kenwright is a tight b*stard who doesn't care about the fans.
Ive just dropped my daughter off at a Church, shes singing in a choir. Sent the missus to video it. Maybe I will upload it later and we can see what GP is missing out on.
RECLAIM THE GWLADYS STREET.
THE SPIRIT OF CATTERICK.
Which part lid?
ROAR LIKE BAYERN 85.
THE PARK END IS FULL OF WOOLS.
