Walk & Talk: Provisional date for a trip to Charlton Football Stadium

POSTPONED.

In the heart of our community we have the most impressive football stadium. It is of interest to many not exclusively football fans.

Charlton Athletic had a nomadic existence in their early years after forming in 1905 but finally settled at The Valley. The stadium was first built in 1919, in part by a group of Charlton fans. For many years, The Valley was one of the largest stadium’s in Britain at around 75,000. Since reopening in 1992, it has undergone significant development and is now stunning.

The North, East, and West Stands have all been almost completely rebuilt, making the stadium unrecognizable from previous years. The North Stand opened in 2002, and turned what was a single tiered stand into a large two tiered stand. Should Charlton return to the top tier, they have plans to expand to a 40,000 capacity stadium.

Away fans visiting The Valley are located in the Jimmy Seed (South) Stand, named after their 1947 FA Cup winning manager, with a typical allocation of up to 3,000.

Join us to learn and see so much more.
