Morning all
Bored day at work so just a few questions ?

A) do any folk walk past another football clubs ground to go to the valley if so must always mutter under breath some expletive

B) who lives the closest can anyone leave after the lads go on the pitch and still make the whistle

C) passing the club everyday on the train to london bridge do you have any ritual i for on always wink at the ground and smile but always want to stand and salute but would feel right chump...

only 80.03 gonna be long day in sunny whitechapel

    I'd guess it'd be between Curb-it and Rock Spectacle for the prize for closest

    Just over 7 miles.

    Now if you bought one of the flats in the new East Stand development you could live AT the Valley.

    or
    4 stops on the rattler
  • Rented a house that backed on to the East stand between July and Dec last year whilst my own house was rebuilt - was about 150 metres from the pitch and could be in my seat within 2 mins (depending on crowds at the turnstiles) of leaving the house... Loved it but wife wasn't happy when trying to park the car on alternate Saturdays / evening games...amazing the number of people who won't let you pull on to your own drive cos they insist on walking past...must admit, was tempted to run a couple of people over myself after I had been there waiting for 10 mins in the middle of the road trying to park...

    Now back in SE10 - I reckon 1.5 miles to the ground

    Amazing the number of people who just pull onto your drive and park there assuming they can. God that makes me so angry.

    About 2 miles further away than Kigelia - I drive past Gravesend & Northfleets ground to pick him up. I never usually mutter anything under my breath but I do notice that they always seem to have home games on the same Saturdays as Charlton.

    Couple of hours from door to seat.

    If I skipped the pub it would be about 10mins.
