I must admit I had never seen this before. I presume it dates back to the early 90's when I was in enforced absence from all things Charlton. It is described as a proposed rebuild design during our exile.
I've got this one somewhere. Glass went a while back though.
I have this picture, it's a little over 2ft across nicely framed. No 72/250 exlt condition.
I remember Trevor Hockey playing for Sheff U. I had him on a bubble gum card.
We used to get our bubble gum cards from a delicatessen a couple of shops up from Barnehurst library. The only Charlton player we ever used to get was Alan Dugdale. Had multiple 'swapsies' of him.
Wow, that's amazing @Duncan270566 Didn't even occur to me that either of the 2 Gentlemen would be identified, but really thrilled for you. If you like, Pm me your address and I'll post you the original to keep
@Henry Irving, His name was William Campbell, but all the players and staff called him Jock. He was primarily the weekend watchman when there was no game at the Valley and when Charlton were at home, he made the players tea, helped lay out the kit and ran the baths at the end of the match. He helped out at Selhurst park, but sadly, he passed away before we went back to the Valley.

Numerous away teams were allocated part of the East Stand during the PL years for FA matches as well as Wycombe for the League Cup. Pompey also had it for the game in 2017.
Sorry @JohhnyH2 I meant when it was still a terrace before the East stand opened. I remember FA cup games them having seats in the East Stand but never the terrace

Does the museum want it?

Great photo.
If you have any others the museum would love to have copies too.
our email is cafchistorian@gmail.com
Can we use them on our twitter account, please?
Duncan, what was your grandfather's name?
Does anyone know the name of the doorman?
Have no problem with Museum using the photo, as long as @Duncan270566 has no objection.
