    Great thread.  Just looking at thd grounds brings back memories and convinces me the best days for domestic English football are long gone.
    We were standing behind iron fences to watch the games, the grounds were shitholes and, sadly, literally death traps, plus hooliganism was part and parcel of the game. Best days of English football ?
    Yes.

    Football had passion then, something Sky fans will never understand.

    When old fans go on about the good old days this was the reality.

    That’s some superb topiary there. They should bring that back.

    Loving this thread. Very interesting. Not quite Charlton related  but nearby I used to play over in the vast area of the Woolwich Arsenal as a kid. Some great fishing in the moats around the test facilities full of Crucian Carp. Also used to venture down into the underground hospital near the firing ranges. Took home a grenade and hundreds of bullet cases which I used to shine up and sell to my friends. I gave the grenade to my neighbour and his Mum found it and went beserk. Happy days 
    Tenuous link to Charlton.  A friend of mine bought a German S-mine, also known as a Bouncing Betty, from a militaria show.  When he got it home he realised what looked like mud inside was the explosive.

    The tenuous link is that his wife used to come to Charlton with me for about ten years - people in the stand around us thought we were an item, we'd been going together for so long.

    Came across some old newspaper clippings today while searching for a "Me at 20" photo. These may have been posted before, but are all from local and national coverage of the return to the Valley. Anyone in these?



    Don't think Dean ever lived down that photo of him crying.
    He shouldn't have to live it down.  How many on here can honestly say they weren't emotional that day?

    was this the 2-1 win game.....I thought we were in a side stand down near the corner flag?
    I was definitely behind the goal at the 2-1 win.

    In the Millwall away game, I am somewhere at the back at that side terrace. Think we lost 0-1 to a late goal.....

    By the time crowds can return to stadiums it wouldn't surprise me if it was present again!

    IIRC we lost 1-0 that day.  I remember late in the second half Carlo being through one on one and letting fly..........The ball ended up out of the ground.

    They tried their best with putting a Sainsburys at one end not long after, but it remains a bed sore on the arse of football in Surrey!

    Is that the chap who used to always protest outside Old Trafford during games on Sunday?

    Not sure if posted before & cannot be bothered to trawl through all the previous pages, but here is the CAFC end during the battle of the bridge



    What a great turnout we had that day. Proud to have been one that was there. Guess that picture was taken from the west stand
