During their formative years playing at the Valley there was a lack of facilities at the ground. They often used to use a local fishmonger/fish and chip shop as a place to get changed for games. This is one of the theories to where Charlton's famous nickname is derived from: "addick" as a corruption of haddock, the main ware of this particular shop. Others claim the fishmonger nailed a haddock to a board and made a noise during games by slapping the two together; this seems somewhat far-fetched. However, newspaper articles dating back to the 50's mention Charlton as 'The Haddocks', giving credibility to one of these two theories. Other alternative origins of the name include that they were 'football addicts' — an interpretation that because of negative connotations of the word 'addict' is no longer favoured — but also that 'addick' is a vernacular corruption of 'athletic', in the same way Wigan Athletic and Oldham Athletic are known as the 'Latics'. None of these interpretations, however, are universally accepted. After success as a boys, amateur and semi-professional side, Charlton were elected to the Football League in 1921. They gained promotion to the First Division in 1936. The club's badge is allegedly meant to represent King Arthur pulling 'the sword out of the stone'. The club's anthem is 'The Red Robin' and the club poem is 'The Charge Of The Light Brigade', as it mentions the 'valley of death'. The Addicks have set up youth clubs in Andalucía (Spain), South Africa and California (though not Death Valley!).
