I always have mixed feelings about this sort of thing - Hopefully Charlton will be around for many hundreds of years yet to come
Yet what if four Managers in that time dwarf the achievements of Curbishley and Seed etc.
Should they take their respective stand names, as the only advantage Curbs and Seed have is they came before them
That's optimistic thinking!
I can imagine our manager in 2050 being really pissed off that despite winning the PL 3 times and the Champions League twice, he won't get a stand named after him because Adkins and Albie Morgan nabbed the other 2
Will it not be possible to have a 5-sided ground in your fantasy world?
We already have five stands. We have two northern quadrants, not strictly North stand areas.
In 2050 I hope we have:
The Jimmy Seed Stand (South) The Alan Curbishley Stand (East) The Cupboard End (yes Covered End/North) The Adkin's Stand (West) The Jason Euell NE Quadrant The Johnnie Jackson NW Quadrant The Osei Sankofa SW Quadrant
and of course, the Reza Ghoochannejhad SE quadrant.
Great news! And he’s proper chuffed and I think Thomas must have seen the legendary status Curbs is held in. I asked him to get him involved when Bow was struggling and then sacked but a stand is a nice second!

I would let the future sort out that little conundrum.
In the years to come, after we've won the Prem title and Champions League in successive years (we won't mention that seasons FA Cup 3rd Round defeat to League 2 Millwall), no doubt we'll be playing at The New Valley, in front of 100,000 crowds and some of us will be sitting in the Thomas Sandgaard stand.
good stuff - he turned us from a joke club back to a proper respected football club - jimmy seed was before my time so as far as i am concerned, Alan Curbishley is the most influential figure in charlton's history - massive respect for the man and what he did for us - he also smashed the millwall hoodoo - there is no greater legend in this club's history and i would love him to get involved again.

I know what you mean but you’ll be doing historians out of a job ;-)

More likely to be a Johnnie jackson stand.
Next in line would obviously be guy Luzon
In 2050 I hope we have:
The Jimmy Seed Stand (South)
The Alan Curbishley Stand (East)
The Cupboard End (yes Covered End/North)
The Adkin's Stand (West)
The Jason Euell NE Quadrant
The Johnnie Jackson NW Quadrant
The Osei Sankofa SW Quadrant
and of course, the Reza Ghoochannejhad SE quadrant.
It's because their name is East Stand and it will no longer be accurate.

And Match of the Day will be on Valley Pass.
Now rename Makro’s car park after Hales and Flanagan.
