Playing at The Valley...

CharltonLad88

Evening all,

Been invited to play a tournament at The Valley during the Summer. Have any of you ever done it?

Just wondered what it was like and if any of you had any good experiences?

Buzzing to get out onto the pitch

Might bring a ball and have a kick about about 10pm next Friday.

I know a bloke called Christophe Lepoint. He won a competition to play there once.

Ask @jimmymelrose......

And if you want a manager you could do worse than @LargeAddick.......unbeaten at The Valley....

It was a great expérience. Should have scored though - thé situation made me lose my composite.

A whole load of current/former Lifers did back in 2007 - there's a link to the teamsheet here: https://charltonlife.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/3137625/#Comment_3137625

and video of a Paul Miller-esque goal here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci8Md7z8Qa0

(not sure who scored it, sorry)

There was a whole thread on it at the time, but I've not dug that far back in the search results to find it yet. @cafcpolo helpfully posted a link to the various threads with @medders photos of it back in January though: https://charltonlife.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/3420452/#Comment_3420452

Played there twice. Missed a sitter at the covered end and never lived it down.

Fingers crossed you get the home changing room. Away one is pony.

played there once for Villacourt Rovers in a cup final and lost badly. The other team were very good and had a maltese winger who Charlton took on a preseason tour. He never made it

I have played there 3 times. Managed to score 1 goal at the covered end In the 3rd game. That was the highlight of my footballing “career” so never bothered playing an 11 aside match again.
