But we found it okay and entered the ground shortly after the turnstiles opened at 1.30pm. At the bottom of the slip road turn right at the traffic lights towards Woolwich/Charlton. However, today there were simply too many people to fit in comfortably, which was one indication the match would be a sell-out. I returned for the second half. I was visiting The Valley, with an old friend who I had not met for far too long. There’s also a supporting pillar roughly a third of the way up the stand in the away end which could be a problem since it’s level with the centre of the pitch.Very poor from Leeds. In one corner of the stadium between the Jimmy (South) Seed & East Stands is a large video screen. The heart and soul of English football exists much more in the Championship and further down the Leagues.I had already visited Charlton’s home, The Valley, on several previous occasions in the past three years.
We didn’t buy anything from the food and beverage kiosks, having thankfully brought some chocolate bars with us from home. The story of how the supporters got involved in local politics, gaining some 15,000 votes in local elections to force through the processes needed to get the club back to the Valley is one of the greatest untold stories in English soccer, and I’m always mindful of that when I enter this stadium ; a good stadium too that wouldn’t exist otherwise.The ground of the modern era although fully modernised, still retains character. The Charlton Fans' Action group were handing out free teamsheets and were very friendly and keen to explain their grievances. Greenwich Station platforms swamp the small trains that travel from London Bridge towards Charlton. With all tickets priced at £5 I couldn't argue and my mind was made up pretty quickly. In 1974, rockband The Who played a gig at the stadium and two years later they made it into the Guinness Book Of Records for the loudest ever gig, measured at 120 decibels from 50 metres away, again at The Valley.Charlton had to endure a seven-year exile away from The Valley between 1985 and 1992 and since its return the ground has been expanded on multiple occasions and is now a 27,111 all-seater stadium.Please see below for more information on The Valley
Driving to the ground was much easier than anticipated and one of our party had received some inside knowledge about parking which we took advantage of and left the car in a nearby megastore car park for free.Having originally intended to attend a Championship game that those helpful folk at Sky switched to a Monday night I had to settle for this east London derby and I had one of the best days out for ages.The station is so close to the ground that it only takes a few minutes before you are at the turnstiles and despite a quite large police presence there was a very relaxed atmosphere around the ground.The first half was fairly equal but Orient looked more likely to score and so it was that a well worked move saw them go in at half time 1-0 up. Even though the away end was packed with over 3000, plus we had opted for the facilities that you come across when coming through the turnstiles-as most did down to the fact the ones on the opposite side of the stand weren't apparent-the service before the game was quick. So we decided to give it a miss and had a drink inside the ground instead.The Valley is really big by League One standards. We headed into the Charlton Megastore for no apparent reason, wondering whether it was worth buying a range of branded goods from rubber ducks to flame red Charlton training kits. An independent Charlton Athletic fanzine, first published in 1988, which campaigned for the Addicks' return to The Valley, and was relaunched in 2013. Charlton scored a tap in early in the second half to make it 2-0. Photos courtesy Repfoto© 1974. I'd definitely recommend a trip to Charlton as its a large ground and can accommodate thousands of away fans.Another London club to tick off the list with only Crystal Palace left for me. A very good level of atmosphere can be generated.It was certainly a game of two halves with Bradford City dominating the first one and Charlton doing the same in the second. Watching football is a very expensive business, and it is an ambition that cannot be done every week but it is fun and relaxing entering into the life of fellow football fans, without the stress of shouting at your team. A few fans behind us made us laugh every time a fish came up on the screen!A plenty simple affair. One of the quickest journeys from a railway station to a ground you can make. On the concourse there was a deal for a pie and a pint for £5!Getting out the ground was no problem Albeit a walk up the hill to the car in thunder and lightning! Lastly a third tier could be added to the new South Stand at a later stage, meaning that the Valley would have a final capacity of 40,600'.Away fans are housed in the Jimmy Seed (South) Stand at one end of the ground, which is slightly raised above pitch level, making for a generally good view.
