    Anybody remember a very brief time in the seventies, when it was suggested we rename the COVERED END to the South East Shack ? It was thought that with the Shed, Kop, Holt End etc the Covered End was a bit of a basic name for our home end.

    Always been known as the "Harvey Gardens adjacent supporter containment centre" amongst proper Charlton tbh regardless of what the Johnny come lately- post- Roland glory boys call it.

    It's only "The Covered End" to glory hunting newbies who started coming when we got into the Football League. Some of us still refer to it as "The Flat End".

    Yes that was at the end of the 72 season when we were relegated to the 3rd division.

    Shuffler was back but no shuffle!
    He wasn't in the company of the 2 ladies he usually sits with so my new theory is that one of his companions gets peckish around the 37 minute mark and sends him off to hunt for a kit kat. She is so weak with hungry she is unable to stand to let him pass so he has to shuffle the long way.

    Shuffler was tempted back to the Valley for the annual festival of football for a fiver event.
    Early dart at 32 mins, I think he is trying to mess with my head.

    So he even has a name now! The Shuffler like one of the baddies from Batman. I had my wife and kids with me on Saturday and tried to let them know how lucky they were to have to stand for this historic Charlton figure a full quarter of an hour before half time. I told them he had his own Charlton Life thread. Shuffler is symbolic of Robinson’s team unable to hold on for the refs whistle. Surely he must be in the running for an award at the end of the season.

    The Shuffler works for the club. Fact.

    He listens intently to the wisdom of the Covered End, recording it on his phone for 40 minutes.

    Then has to hot foot it to an empty cubicle to pass on the suggested changed tactics to Robinson.

    Sadly if the smokers haven't got there first, the batteries in his Samsung only ever last 42 minutes, so the half time team talk has to rely on KR's tactical genius alone.

    Slightly different note as I sit in the East Stand.

    I suppose we've been spoilt this season with boycotters & general malaise meaning the ground had been 1/3 full most games as I spent most of the game getting up & down letting people past me. One couple filed past about 10 mins into the 2nd half - that's 25 mins after the first half finished. wtf had they been doing all that time ??? Also sitting near an aisle means that the first 5 mins of each half is spent not seeing the action on the pitch but looking at gormless idiots traipsing up & down the stairs peering along rows looking for their seats. KM's "stadium map" is obviously not working.
