The shooting box was there when I first watched the reserves in 1949.Jimmy Seed or one of his coaches would take prospective new players there to see if they could kick with both feet.ross1 said:

If I could time travel anywhere, I think I might just go to the old Valley and have a wander round !Henry Irving said:

Think it's an optical illusion. Shadow is to the side, not beneath the floor. It also sits on the same plane as the flat terracing.
Was flat on the ground the day I recall seeing some naughty boys climb the wall behind the snack bar and raided it for its goodies. I only watched.0 -
This was a hut that used to sell teas, coffees, pies etc. Admittedly, it does look a bit strange in this picture and I don't remember the surface being anything other than flat. A hot cup of tea on a cold day was always welcome and what a view there was from the top of the East Terrace. They did a fair amount of business as many fans, including me, used to enter and leave through the turnstiles you can see on the right.Raith_C_Chattonell said:I find myself wondering about this section of the photograph.
How did the hut get there? Does it flip flop as you walk from one end to the other? What was inside it? Who owned it? And as for the mystery sign with its hieroglyphics - what's it saying, to who and why?

You weren't half posh, all I remember getting was a small bag of peanuts from the man wandering the terraces yelling "peanuts!", if was lucky (and we were winning!).BerkshireBob said:

One of those peanut sellers was Dave Roberts who I knew from school. If Charlton scored, he would stop what he was doing to raise his scarf above his head and then carry on where he left off.Hal1x said:

I also remember there always being some joker in the crowd standing behind his mates and shouting. 'ere are mate'. The seller tramping up the terrace looking around and getting completely pissed off. As for the make, I'd have called them monkey nuts you had to shell 'em yourself - none of this modern day convenience rubbish.PEANUTS.......ROASTED PEANUTS was the call in my day1 -

I remember the guy standing at the top of Floyd Road shouting out ‘roasted peanuts, tanner a bag.’ The following week I saw him at the Den, doing the same for Millwall fans.By the way, I was not a closet Millwall fan. My brother and I would watch the occasional Millwall home game hoping to see them lose. Sadly, it was around the time they went 50 odd home matches without losing.1

The peanut selling guy used to say 3rd division peanuts when they were in the 4th. The next season he was selling 2nd division peanuts when they were in the 3rd.
Don't remember him offering 1st division peanuts when they were in the 2nd he must have had some sense.0 -

Sounds like the opening line of a letter to Mellow Magic.4
