100 years of history ignored because some people want a signing now and can't wait.
I’ve called it the covered end since I started going and not known it as anything else since my first ST in there, hence why this is rather, meh, in comparison to a new signing, 100 years of history ignored slightly over dramatic.
Bring back the understand bar, bottles of light or brown ale, and a good row in dancing area between bar and turnstiles. Those were the days. Valley club to your right, open terrace bogs to your left.

Not at all.
Your only comment was to moan about lack of signings, nothing about the name or reason for doing this now so ignore is just what you did.
Nice touch and keeps the character of the ground rather than just generic naming. Like others I've always known it as the Covered End. Just need another sign saying "You'll never stop the F Block" to finish it off

And my next comment was to say I’ve always called it the covered end and acknowledged it as so. Anyway let’s not eh, I like the sign.
There should be a name for the upper north as well so the inhabitants up there don’t feel left out...how about ‘The Panto Stand’ ? As in ‘they’re behind you ‘...
That pic takes me back. I used to go with a mate and his dad - first time about 50 years ago. I wonder how many hours some of us have spent in the Covered End ? We used to walk round the inside of the Valley to the other end at HT to watch us score. How footy has changed.

Aye, we used to score.
Hottest day ever in the UK and some are getting their knickers in a twist over a joke!
I was know in full as The Covered End until after a particularly heavy night, reading posts by the gentlemen known as @Covered End and not remembering a thing about posting them. A couple of days later I realised it wasn’t me, so I changed my moniker to TCE and slowed down with the boozing (one of those is a lie) 😂 For the record it’s known “The Covered End” as per the song

Could always name it after you and call it the Bellend 😂

I'm top drawer.
You now have a stand named after you. Curbs will be jealous!!
Agree, looks bloody awful.
