What we will do in this experience
There’s something truly special about a matchday at The Valley, home of Charlton Athletic. This isn’t just football — it’s South London pride, history, and community all rolled into one.
Join a local host and experience the build-up just like a true Addicks supporter.
Start by meeting fans wearing red and white, chatting about the team news and predictions. Then head to a nearby pub on Floyd Road, the famous street sung about in Charlton chants, for a drink and lively fan conversations before kickoff.
As you approach the ground, take in the atmosphere — the smell of matchday food, local street art, and the statue of Sam Bartram, a legend of the club. Visit the club shop before taking your seat: either in the Upper North Stand, where the Covered End Choir keeps the songs going all match long, or in the Alan Curbishley Stand for a quieter but equally spectacular view.

Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, you’ll leave The Valley with the songs still echoing in your head — and hopefully a few goals to celebrate.

Jayne and the Charlton experience was fantastic! We had a fantastic time, Jayne was a wealth of knowledge and this was a true London football experience. Raw, exciting and full of real football culture. I loved it and will definitely be back.

One of the most authentic football experiences you can have in London! Jayne, her sons, and nephew were amazing hosts. We kicked off the day with a proper traditional English breakfast at the Valley Café, then headed to the Royal Oak pub for some pre-match buzz. It was brilliant hearing all about Charlton’s history and how the club is such a big part of their family. The stadium itself is a proper English football ground with amazing views from the seats and a great atmosphere. Honestly, it felt like a day out with old friends. Massive thanks to Jayne & the crew — if you want a real Charlton experience, this is the one!

I had a fantastic Charlton Athletic matchday with Jayne as our Homefans host. Coming all the way from Chile for a true English football experience, I couldn’t have asked for a better welcome. Jayne, her welcoming sons and nephew, made us feel like part of a real Charlton family from the start. A great Valley Coffee, a lively stop at the Royal Oak Pub, and Jayne’s incredible knowledge and lifelong fandom set the tone for an authentic experience. Even with an unplanned match contingency, it didn’t take away from how well the entire day was hosted. The Valley’s atmosphere, superb seats, and the overall 🔴⚪️ Charlton matchday vibe made it even better. Jayne’s passion and insights turned the day into something truly special. Highly recommended! 🔴⚪️⚽️

One of the most authentic experiences you can take part in! Jayne, her sons and nephew were amazing hosts for our game against Portsmouth. From the lovely breakfast at the Valley Cafe, to the buzzing atmosphere at the Royal Oak pub, we had the amazing pleasure to learn first-hand of the history of Charlton, the connection from her whole family with the ups and downs of the club and have a really authentic matchday experience. Jayne also arranged amazing seats and despite the fact the game got cancelled due to a sadly unfortunate event at the ground (🙏), we actually want to come back soon! Thank you Jayne & Co! You need to take part in this Charlton experience. It’s a must and one of the best footie experiences I have ever been to 🙌
