I remember my first visit to the Valley. It was 1981 and I stood on the huge East terrace. It was a midweek game v Reading and the crowd was only about 3,000. From the top of the East terrace you had a fantastic panoramic view of London. Great video Matt. Kind regards Francis
Great video matt. If £28 is the cheapest ticket thats way too much.. seemed an even game, looked like the 12th man ... (the crowd)... helped towards the victory..
after years I will go to the stadium to see the team of my city play, Novara in Serie C, there will be the derby known as the derby of the rice fields with a team called Pro Vercelli, the prices depend on where you want to sit, the cheapest price it's €9, then there's €18, €30, etc
Thank you Andrea for your comments and info about Italian ticket prices, all very interesting to be able to compare. I am hoping to venture over to Italy to cover some games in the near future. Can you recommend any clubs?
You donut!!! You think we might finish off the stadium if we get promoted to the premier!!?? You MELT!! We already did!! That's why it looks like that now... Know your history!!
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 but it’s not the way we do things in Britain. It’s like those massive flags that European clubs fly behind goals. Our culture is being diluted. At Luton drums aren’t allowed. Not sure about pianos though!!
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 I forget more than I learn these days mate. But yeah…no musical instruments allowed in the Vatican of football. I’ve been talking to Christopher Lee, architect at the dreadful Populous. They designed the Emirates, Wembley, Spurs, Etihad, Benfica and 11 of the 12 Russian World Cup Stadiums and others. The same design but in different colours and different outer wrappings. I’m trying to get an admission that Spurs Stadium is a con. It was almost identical to Arsenals ground so they needed to do something to make them a little different. So they made the largest home end in Europe using a single tier. Spurs fans fell for it. Populous have the creativity of a brick. Wembley is the same as the Emirates but slightly larger so they had to do something a little different again. So built a fucking arch! They couldn’t be bothered moving the iconic Twin Towers. And don’t get me started…too late!…on Everton’s new IKEA stadium. It’s identical to Espanyol’s. Same colours too. I’m sick of being mugged off by the football people. From the growing wealth gap and the FFP bullshit to demolishing traditional old stadiums in favour of soulless piles of plastic and concrete. Sorry mate. I’m the famous Rant a Cop!!!
@@haddocktheaddick an admitted plastic. At least you’re honest! Betting compnaies and musical instruments are banned form the Vatican of football Kenilworth Road. That’s because we are the most mighty and glorious rarely victorious we hardly scorious so bloody fucking innit.

Thanks Francis, club and ground has had a major uplift since those grey days back in the 1980s 🏟️

Maybe there is a cheaper ticket but I couldn’t find it online

The crowd make such a difference to the game, great atmosphere!
I think the design of the stadium also helps keep the noise in
Good game by the looks of it!
Very good atmosphere
They need a crowd
All 13,000 of them made a lot of noise!
Good game
It was very lively
Great crowd. Must be best in London
That’s what Charlton fans tell me, the rest of London seem to disagree, thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️

Michael, donot is spelt doughnut in the Uk, you doughnut 🍩😀
Clubs with drummers are embarrassing.
Everywhere I have been to with a drummer has definitely added to the atmosphere 👍🏻
