The old photo of the ground went a couple of years ago, but now the sign is being sold by a residents' group to help them prettify the area.

    I never went in there and the sign looks like it was painted by an 8 year old, but it's still tempting.

    it is tempting.  But what would you actually do with it?  Where would one hang it?

    My dad used to clean the windows of The Valley and told me Harold Hobbis was a right miserable old bugger. The pub used to have a Mynah Bird which was just about the best thing about it. I went in a few times on the way to a match but always thought it was a bit of a dump to be honest.

    It's no doubt much bigger than you think and weighs a great deal......as much as 50 Kilos or more with the framework etc.

    I'll watch out for it though and maybe make an offer if the bidding doesn't get too silly.

    Wonder how much this is going to go for... Charlton could be looking lovely and flowery if it does well?

    £350?

    Buy a pub called The Valley (If you can't find one with this name, buy any boozer and change the name) and stick it up outside it.....Simple!

    Or don't change the name and just paint over this sign.

    I remember buying some of the old floodlights from the Valley years ago thinking I would make a feature out of them in my garden. Ten years later they're still sitting in my garage

    Had a great night in there after the first game back in 1992. Can think of at least half a dozen who post on here who were there that night.

    Nearly 20 years ago.

    Depressing.

    Had some very good pre-match beers in there along with complimentary hot dogs. Think it's a bit sad it has gone to be honest.
