 The Valley (stadium) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Valley is a 27,116-capacity football stadium in Charlton, London.
In 1988, the ownership of the club and The Valley was again united, and in an event that harkened back to the ground's initial construction, thousands of supporters volunteered to clean the ground, eventually burning the debris in a huge bonfire on the pitch.
In 1991, construction began on the new Valley, and the club moved from Selhurst Park to West Ham's Upton Park.

The college is responsible for the bond — which paid the stadium's construction — and the donations from the developers were to help ease the burden of the repayments.
Construction was finished on the 2,500-seat stadium in November, UVSC Athletic Director Mike Jacobsen said, and the UVSC baseball team is already using the field.
The Orem Owlz pay UVSC to use the stadium during the summer and was not directly involved in construction, although it did throw in money for upgrades on items such as the seats and the scoreboard.

 BBC - South Yorkshire Fun - 360 views - Don Valley Stadium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Built for the 1991 World Student Games at a cost of £29m, Don Valley Stadium is not exactly loved by a Sheffield public still smarting at having to pay for the vast majority of the £147m cost of the games.
Sheffield Eagles fixtures notwithstanding, the stadium is rarely used, save for the odd athletics meeting and occasional pop concert.
It seems only a move by one of the city's football clubs would ever see Don Valley packed to the rafters on a weekly basis, although given that the stadium's current capacity of 25,000 is far less than that of Hillsborough or Bramall Lane, this seems unlikely.
