    Weirdly, every time I've sat in  that stand the scores been nought - nought.

    Happy about this .
  • No Joe Ledley stand?

    Rename the West Stand the Sam Bartram Stand and I'd be very happy
  • 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

    Shame there’s no touch on ‘the east terrace’ being part of our history , not quite as much as curbs but still!

    classy act nonetheless

    Aren't you supposed to say "Pardon me" after doing that?

    Definitely need a Lennie Lawrence bar or something. God knows he deserves it.

    Let's cross that bridge if we ever come to it.

    Well deserved recognition for the legend that is Curbs.

    Probably the most underrated hero of all.

    100% deserved. The ultimate Charlton icon.

    And etc. Praps Marsden and JD will be on hand to cut the tape at the grand opening...

    Great news though...
  • Our history won’t end here but in our adventures so far the name Alan Curbishley stands very tall in our relatively modest achievements. I have 100% support for this well deserved tribute.

    Wonder if this was part of Curbs ValleyPass deal? 😂😉

    Forever a Charlton legend, and for most still alive the Charlton Legend.

    Can't think of anyone more deserving.

    Well deserved - Curbishley is the biggest Charlton icon in my time supporting Charlton.

    Absolutely brilliant idea. It’s fantastic to have an owner who makes great decisions.

    I had to check this wasn't started on April 1st. Does that make me a bad person?

    Wouldn't ever make it.

    I checked too, it shows we're not used to a decent owner.

    Fantastic news! Not before time. It would be great to honour some others although not everyone can have a stand of course!

    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  :D

    Will it not be possible to have a 5-sided ground in your fantasy world?
