    The Home End then became the North Stand then became the North Upper and North Lower - I'm confused!

    Once, at the ticket office, I asked for a seat in the Covered End.
    The nice young lady answered : the stands are all covered now!

    Not just me then, could'nt be bothered to educate her.
  • How did it escape being called the Railway End? The dream name, surely.

    When I was a kid 70s, I knew the North stand as the shed end. Probably the corrugated iron on the sides made it look a shed.

    In the picture of the Covered End, the sign looks a bit askew or is that dodgy graphics on the image ?

    Always thought it was the Coming In end, as in "we are Charlton, We are Charlton, super Charlton, Coming in"

    Nah, that was probably after Chelsea had smashed up the wooden turnstiles in Harvey Gardens, took it then had a bonfire in there behind the goal with the debris :-o

    Remember that, was in the north stand. Chelsea supporters did not take kindly to getting beat 4-0. Great game that. The football not the Chelsea supporters smashing up the ground.

    I was only 11 but recall three sides of the ground Chelsea, with Charlton reduced to a knot at the bottom corner of the east terrace!

    There was lot of Charlton in what would now be the right lower (when facing goal) who scooted when Chelsea occupied the upper left area, where the Charton supporters, who sang sat. I was under 10. Remember the big line of police walking round, preventing the game being called off.

    It's not the covered end anymore if used to be when it was covered but now the bottom tier is open to the rain..

    calling it the covered end is a false statement, let's called it the Colin Walsh end
