No stone left unturned

No stone has been left unturned as the Valley Review welcomes Yeovil Town on Saturday - and two men from that side of the pitch, Kyel Reid and Grant Basey, take centre stage.

Right-backs Frazer Richardson and Chris Solly also join an impressive cast list which includes manager Phil Parkinson.

Following three successive away games, the only matchday magazine that matters catches up with a man who finished the Monday night match at Bristol Rovers, and one who scarcely started it.

From his vantage point on the bench, Reid had a good look at the horror challenge on teammate Basey, and gives his opinion on events at The Memorial Stadium.

He also discusses life on loan in SE7 and why coming to Charlton was like returning home, plus the steps he is taking to improve his performances - by sitting in front of the television.

The big talking point of the week from inside SE7 has definitely been the serious ankle injury sustained by Basey - and the left-back talks exclusively about the events against Rovers.

From his pain at the challenge from Dominic Blizzard to the treatment in the aftermath and his recuperation plans, the youngster talks frankly about his difficult week.

Boss Parkinson also gives his thoughts on the challenge on a night to forget for the visitors, and in a bid to end a five-match winless streak, reveals why he is ignoring the clubs' rivals and concentrating on things a lot closer to home.

Fans can relive events at Rovers courtesy of a full-colour action replay spread, and there are also pictures and action from the previous three games against Tranmere Rovers, Walsall and Swindon Town.

There is all the latest on Basey's injury, plus the late knock to striker David Mooney that saw Charlton face the closing stages with 10 men, and chief executive Steve Waggott assesses the financial gulf between the earnings of high-profile players and the money needed for clubs in the lower leagues to stay afloat.

Richardson is the latest player to take on the 100 to One challenge and fans can find out why a plan always came together when he watched television as a youngster, why the garish colour of his first car was a footnote and find out which interesting collectables adorn his mantelpiece.

As Yeovil make their first ever league visit to The Valley, there is everything fans need to know about the Glovers, including an Underworld link between the club's two managers.

Fans of all ages can tackle two new puzzles courtesy of the kids' page with Spot the Bail debuting alongside the staple - but still fiendishly difficult - Spot the Difference.

The encouraging sales of the new VIP five-year season ticket are revealed as fans are told how they can become board members for the day, while academy manager Steve Gritt welcomes new assistant Rhys Williams to the club.

Development coach Damian Matthew gives his thoughts on the U18s' first two matches since their long lay-off, and the long-serving Sean Daly, who was among those who first spotted the talents of Basey and Tamer Tuna on community courses many moons ago, is the subject of the First and Last feature.

From star-spotting to Royal visits and summer raving in Ibiza, the Charlton Community Trust officer and Addicks U12 coach gives an insight into his work at the club.

This edition is brought to fans by the letter P as the alphabetical Addicks review reaches its 16th letter.

Managers past and present go under the microscope, and there are closer looks at spot-kicks, the end-of-season lottery, the first man to ever emerge from the bench, not to mention the greatest man to ever play the game.

Fans can plot their way to Roots Hall thanks to another indispensible travel guide, and they can read the amazing story of how a current Addicks defender played a part in the birth of one of the club's youngest fans.

There is a full colour poster of Solly and all this, plus the usual columns and features, make the Yeovil Valley Review an unmissable read. The 60-page edition is priced £3 and will be available to purchase around the stadium or in the Valley Superstore as usual, and will also be sold by mobile sellers and in the west-stand kiosks. Fans can also take out season subscriptions via the official Charlton website - click here or call Paul Ellis, who also deals with back issues, on 020-8333 4000.
