Bit torn on which tickets as both the north upper/ northwest and west stand... Plus will buying on the day be ok as not to miss out. Really appreciate the local knowledge!
If you want a bit of atmosphere, sit North Upper (central or to the right if poss). If you prefer it a bit more sedate and closer to the action, sit in the East or West If you want something in between, sit North West Quad
There are no real bad views in the stadium (other than the ones facing the pitch, boom boom), just ensure if E/W/NW you don't get one of the very first rows.
Have a great day
Avoid the North Lower though, it's full of herberts that were clearly brought up living in a cave!! ;o)

Boooooo!!! It's also £25 or £30 a ticket, not worth it.
I know its quicker to go by tube to North Greenwich but getting on the bus and knowing where to get off the bus can be confusing for someone who doesnt know the area.
If you could tell us if you are coming into Fenchurch Street or Liverpool Street - if you come back on here again - it would be helpful.
Trains go direct from Cannon Street station to Charlton and takes 20 mins. Cannon Street is a short walk from Fenchurch Street and quite easy to find.

Does Cannon Street operate on a Saturday?
6 trains an hour originating from Cannon St, only 2 an hour from Charing X on a Saturday which is annoying travelling from Waterloo - God that makes me sound like a trainspotter!
Cheers for all the help guys... Reckon its london bridge to charlton and west stand for me and the mates (call me blankets and slippers etc!) But haven't seen many football matches besides the 2010 world cup. Looking forward to it! Thanks and hopefully first of many, COYR!
@WestSA hope you have a good journey, going to leave for train myself in a while. Don't bring the vuvuzela ;-) (sp?) and if you end up in WSK I'll give you a wave!
Just got back, what an awesome experience! Wow, my mate and I managed to get to charlton alright took the train from london bridge no problem... Sat in the west stand upper block P and had a great view of the game. First half as you said was a bit subdued but second half was a cracker! Yann's first was top draw and that chip of his, wow.. Was generally nervous for Pope to come on having never played in the football league before! But all in all 4-1 what a win, what a seaon... Chris Powell is amazing great to hear Sir Chris speak, seems like only great things in store with him in charge, and the atmosphere was quality, loved the drum. Reckon I will have to sit in the north stand just for the vibe once! Can't wait to go loads of games come august, thanks for all your help The Valley is truly a special place
WestSA, did two 'blonde women' tell you that you were sitting in somone's seat? Row K? Sorry if that was you! We are really friendly honest! Glad you had a good time.

No there were two girls infront of us who were told by someone else that they were in his seat donno if that helps... Basically we were the ones with backpacks. Don't worry everyone I came across was helpful and just there to enjoy the game.

But get the bus number 486 as that literally does stop outside the train station and will take you to the pub quicker.
Fellas come all this way and you're suggesting he fights his way onto some smelly flea ridden pikey infested thing which takes ages to go anywhere.
Weird.
Glad you enjoyed your day, just remember we don't win 4-1 every game!
