The Valley

The Valley is Charlton Athletic Football Club's home stadium in Charlton, southeast London, in use since 1919. The compact bowl comprises four named stands (the Covered End/North, Alan Curbishley/East, West and Jimmy Seed/South) arranged around a grass pitch and has hosted league and cup football as well as other events.

What The Valley looked like in its prime.

A compact rectangular football bowl with red seating and concrete terraces under large cantilevered roofs; the West Stand is the main, higher-capacity stand with corporate boxes and a glass-fronted directors' area, the East (Alan Curbishley) is a single-tier stand with a TV gantry, the Covered End (North) has a deep upper tier and vocal supporters, and the older South (Jimmy Seed) stand is a lower single-tier with a visible supporting pillar. The pitch is natural grass with white line markings, perimeter advertising hoardings and spectator entry ramps.
