Taking exams at the Valley

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 heard KM is taking an exam to learn Percentages at the Valley...

    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.

    These are testing times at The Valley.
  • My colleague has taken a few ACCA there and one at Selhurst too - how off putting during an exam!! I always got naff leisure centres.
  • Having just seen a photo, the exam was held in Crossbars!

    I hope the rave DJ wasn't practising his set for Saturday at the time...
  • Anyone know what that greenhouse looking type thing is on the pitch?

    Looks like the retractable tunnel to me but probably wrong.

    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!!

    Greenhouse.

    They're growing grapes in it.

    Charlton wine. New revenue source.
