Who would have thought it 31 years ago today we received the A5 sheet via t he turn style operator notifying us that our next home match against Stoke would be our last at the Valley. The chairman John Fryer was kind enough to give us directions to the ground and even notify us that you can get the 75 bus to the ground. Like many that day i still didn't believe it and something would be done prior to the move, but i am guessing that this was down to me being a 14 year old lad that couldn't get my head around sharing a ground and no longer being able to come to the ground every week that i adored and watching my hero's every week.

To make it worse the last game at the Valley was on my birthday.
That's a proper walk at 23 seconds in
Hope we banned him from the press box, but I suppose we were bigger than that.
I would have still banned him though!
ROLAND OUT!!!
Compare all that to the sacking of Chris Powell and the state of the club today, which is all the more upsetting in that much of what had been achieved was done away with. It's all very well saying a British manager has been appointed who has assembled a decent side. It's not what it was, and until Duchatelet goes, it never will be.
