This I found in a book, Football grounds from the air. Picture taken 1970. After council had brought the land from Charlton. Shows the wall that stills runs behind Jimmy Seed Stand.
Great picture. Looks like there's a river running through the pitch. People queuing up to see the world angling championships.
I know that it is all relative and we live in different times with higher expections, but could you imagine the face of someone who watched Charlton in that old ground as they stare at the modern Valley?
"Ere! There's a load of feckin light bulbs missing..."
Or there's no hot water in the nice warm, covered toilets.

What do you mean I can’t have a woodbine while I watch the game??
