On a lighter note, someone I know is taking accountancy exams at The Valley on Wednesday, a more interesting location than any of the places I used!

Which part of the West Stand do they use, is it where there used to be the gym?

    Think it is the lounges.

    They try to rent out as much as they can. Church in Cross bars on Sunday, Nepalese Community group in Corner Flag. All income

    Simon Church having a few drinks, or is he the musical entertainment!

    Getting near the crossbar would be an improvement for Church.

    I've sat exams in Hillsborough, pretty cool doing them in stadiums, it sort of takes your mind off the impending doom for a bit.

    Did a couple of my ACCAs at selhurst. Smashed the toilets up afterwards for good measure.

    Did a few in Brixton leisure centre too and we all got a dispensation for one because it was right next to the market and some fella had rocked up there halfway through with a sound system with speaker the size of a semi detached house from which he blared ragga out of for best part of 2 hours of the exam.

    Thought that, but looks a little wide?

    Wonder if Hasselbaink has been hiring the Valley whilst he finds somewhere to stay since he moved to Queens Park Rangers... If he's as big as when he was playing for Charlton, he'd need something that wide to accommodate him!!

    Lights/hot house to encourage the grass to grow.

    Greenhouse.

    They're growing grapes in it.

    Charlton wine. New revenue source.
