Voice of The Valley published its final issue of the season on Saturday, April 14th, for the visit of Scunthorpoe United. But if you didn't make it to The Valley it's available to order here for first-class posting out. 

With a change of manager since the last issue and a sharp reversal in form, at least until the midweek defeat at AFC Wimbledon, there's been no shortage of issues for our regular line-up of contributors to sink their teeth into. 

Matt Wrihght takes a detailed look at Karl Robinson's 17 momths in charge, while Kyle Andrews and Rick Everitt look at the early transformation under Lee Bowyer, which revived the team's play-off hopes.

Everitt also anaylses Charlton's recently published annual accounts for 2016/17, while Wright tells the fascinating story of the club's troubled 1954 tour to South America with the help of original letters home. John Ingram ends the season by looking back at past encounters with Blackburn Rovers, who are the final visitors to The Valley.

Ex-Charlton winger John Robinson spoke exclusively to Voice of The Valley's US correspondent DOUG CHAPMAN in Florida in January 2018 for VOTV141. 

Robinson updated our readers on his activities in the States - and revealed that he is still feels so passionately about his 11 years at Charlton that he shed a tear when fans chose him for the club's hall of fame. Now you can read the main part of Doug's interview here.

The cover of the penultimate Voice of The Valley of the 2017/18 season was remarkably prescient, given that it was published on March 17th just before what proved to be manager Karl Robinson's last match in charge. It reflected his comments four days earlier, unlike the Valley Review, and also covers what director Richard Murray had said about the takeover situation, as well as why the sale of Charlton had looked to be a done deal earlier that month.

Matt Wright takes on the boo boys who targeted Josh Magennis at Peterborough and, in a not entirely unrelated piece, tackles the use and abuse of the #cafc tag on Twitter. Matt set up @CAFCofficial and sent the club’s first tweet in 2009.

Kyle Andrews reports on the remarkable progress of recent Charlton goalkeepers - including Nick Pope’s World Cup prospects; Wyn Grant writes on football and politics; and Mike Head tells the story of scandalous 1950s Valley striker Jimmy Gauld.

Elsewhere, John Ingram remembers the 1967/68 season, Paul Breen writes on the matchday “customer experience”, Keith Ferris recalls oddities down the years and Rick Everitt discusses contracts, as well as player and ex-player misconduct. Plus all the regular features and news .

Time is running out for Roland Duchatelet to announce the sale of Charlton before the end of February – leaving the club leaderless, rudderless and unable to put in place plans for next season.

RICK EVERITT reports.

Former Charlton chief executive Peter Varney has confirmed that he is not involved in any current bid to buy Charlton - but scotched any suggestion his shock departure from National League Ebbsfleet United was due to health reasons or retirement plans.

Varney, who leaves after Saturday's FA Trophy clash with Warrington Town, says he intends to carry on working - and that the decision to quit the north Kent club was entirely his.
