Never went to the <old valley>
I used to stand in the arthur wait and then on to the homeos road
At upton park i stood at the back of the north bank.
When we came back to the Valley i sat in the E and F block coverd end.
couple of seasons in the south stand great times there were.
Then back to the top tier H block moved again to the M block.

    Originally to the right (when facing the pitch) of the old west stand in the dip. When I thought I was hard, tough and clever in The Covered End (I soon got sussed out) Then into the lower tier of The Covered End now in the upper tier.

    Save for three brief periods, (well two brief and one not so), I've been a Covered End boy from beginning to end!

    Moved out when they first put seats in, but moved back in shortly after. Obviously when we got kicked out and then when my kids first started going I mistakenly moved to the East, but came back as quick as possible.

    East Terrace before it shut.
    Covered end after that.
    Just about every different part of Shithurst Park - still didn't find anywhere decent.
    North Bank at Upton Park.
    Jimmy Seed, then Covered End now West Upper.

    My current seat is by far the best view out of any of them. Atmosphere is lame - but at least I can watch the game.

    Little bit of terrace between Main stand and Covered End when East Terrace was closed

    I've also sat in every tier of ever stand at the valley, perhaps we should start a facebook group?!

    No, though not. Neither did I : - )

    That was called the Chicken Run, Henry.

    Come to think of it, that's where I was standing that game v Palace, when we found out we were going to be homeless.
    Great view of all those penalties into the Covered End goal.
