The permitted capacity of Roker Park when it closed was ..what 22,000? The SoL was built to accommodate twice that and then the stadium was expanded within a few years to its current 48000. So no we didn't redevelop Roker Park to build a smaller stadiumcapacity at Roker over the says different

Aye before it collapsed due to subsidence caused by pissthought one end got reduced?
ok so I was rightAye before it collapsed due to subsidence caused by piss
That wasn't out of choice it was for safety reason the Roker End stand could have collapsed -it had actually suffered bomb damage during WWII . We had to put up with it until a new bigger stadium could be built as at the end of its life Roker Park could not accommodate all of the fans. In Charlton's case The new Valley stadium was purpose built with a capacity of less than 25,000.thought one end got reduced?
Roker End
wasn't the back of it knocked down?
so therefore yes you did redevelop to a smaller capacity
I wouldn't say The Valley was purpose built , the Jimmy Seed stand ( away end ) is still the same stand as before we left the Valley in 1985. The Valley has a capacity of 27,111 and there were plans to increase it to 40,000 before the fall out of the Prem.

I mimagine that HUGE side they had here was in just as bad disrepair though as anything at Roker?That wasn't out of choice it was for safety reason the Roker End stand could have collapsed -it had actually suffered bomb damage during WWII .

Correct. That’s why the bookies has both teams at the same odds to win.Momentum means fuck all. It's a cup final now, two equal teams, it's 50/50
The middle one is like a 70s porn bushI mimagine that HUGE side they had here was in just as bad disrepair though as anything at Roker?

The old east terrace had a 40,000 capacity and used to be the same height behind the goal at the Jimmy Seed end ( bottom pic ) until the back part was sold offI mimagine that HUGE side they had here was in just as bad disrepair though as anything at Roker?

so therefore yes you did redevelop to a smaller capacity
What I don't get.. I thought they weren't happy with there owners and were boycotting? But get to Wembley and sell over 30k??
So what's happening if they go up (I think u guys will win) and there owners that they don't like, don't invest and they are bottom of championship.. do they protest again?
I don't get it or have things changed?
It's amazing what a few wins achieve as our near neighbours prove. All the boycouts and prertests postponed once Rafa got a few wins.
Better than not having a ground I suppose.thought one end got reduced?
