That was brilliant, I was there my ears are still ringing from all that noise! I hardly heard charlton fans make a sound all game! Brilliant the best away game ive ever been to.

you perhaps dont appreciate how loud our end was untill you here from your point of view...it was rocking!!

How did you get tickets in the Charlton end?

Were there many other city fans around you?

Great footage Spencer - thanks! Sounds pretty loud from your vantage point.

Did anyone else notice the TV sound guys moving the microphone further and further away from our end?

To start it was probably 25 yards from the byline. After ~20 mins he moved it just past the halfway line. Then, shortly after, he put it the other side of the advertising boards.

Finally he gave up... and was last seen actually carrying it up the steps into the North stand itself!

Good vid, impressed you didn''t get escorted out must have been impossible to sit on your hands during the afternoon!

from the second comment

the cheer was when lambert clapped us not doherty.

hence the singing of `there only one paul lambert` shortly afterwards

Glad you like my rough video clip folks...I just thought, if I can’t join in, I’ll film it.

My cover was nearly throw a few times thoughout the game but by the final whistle I’d given up trying to hide it...I got a few glares but no more....CAFC aren’t a bad bunch. there were a few other boys dotted around.

When we scored I devised a rather nifty stealth tactic of covering my face with the programme with both hands whilst shouting "YYESSS/GET IN/OTBC"etc...it worked a treat. Hopefully I won’t have to do it again.

I''m in the home end again next week...thankfully that one is at Cara - so all good!

Great video. I knew we were loud, but to hear it from elsewhere in the ground is amazing! I thought the Charlton fans were pretty quiet, but difficult to judge given the cacophony in our end!

I absolutely love this.

I didn''t appreciate how loud we were when I was in the middle of it.

The really great thing is how much our accent comes through - "... up the football league we gew..."

Great day - I''ll never forget it and I wish there were more like it!

It''s no wonder fans from other teams compliment us when we travel! Sounds amazing from the other stand. Cheers for posting this. And fair pla to the decent number of Charlton fans who stopped by to clap the boys off and just watch it all unfold afterwards.

I was in the same stand as you spence but next to the tunnel right at the front.You can see me on the football league show (claim to fame *L) It was hard not to leap up when Norwich scored and the home fans sussed i was Norwich when i didn''t sing or cheer.Kept me mouth shut till 90 was up then i started whistling........didn''t go down to well but hey i didn''t care! Got tickets through a school friend of my son (who was in the away end) his grand dad is season ticket holder at the valley and was only to pleased to get us a ticket.Great seat and great game.......even better on the way home at Kings cross where some dejected Leeds fans got a barage of "on the ball city".......great footage spence would have been nice sitting up your end even closer to the away fans.
