EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Cairns, we are transported back to the 1980s, witnessing a significant moment in Charlton Athletic's history. It is the last match at the iconic Valley Ground before their move to Selhurst Park, and emotions run high as fans bid farewell to their beloved stadium. The image depicts an empty field after Charlton Athletic's triumphant victory over Stoke City with a score of 2-0. The nets have been taken down from the goalmouth for the final time, symbolizing both closure and new beginnings. The groundsman meticulously tends to his duties, perhaps feeling a mix of nostalgia and anticipation for what lies ahead. This snapshot encapsulates not only the action-packed nature of football but also captures a sense of emptiness that lingers in such moments of transition. As spectators gaze upon this photograph, they can almost feel the echoes of cheers reverberating through those now-vacant stands. Cairns' skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this historic event while contemplating how sports can shape our collective memories. This print serves as a poignant reminder that stadiums may change, but the passion and dedication shared between players and supporters endure forever.
