I came across this old newspaper cutting but can’t see a date - nor am I aware of this record win? Can anybody put a date to it - I guess it’s the Croydon Advertiser? Attachment: D8E1518B-4592-41D3-B09A-3D0D6B9F015F.jpeg (5,158.42Kb)

Had to laugh at the other article where a game had been played at Grange Park, wonder how they coped with the slope!

Interesting to see the reference in the first paragraph to a reminder of "the pre-war rivalry". And haven't we always thought it was to do with Alan Mullery?! As others may have seen, the records on this site, which start in 1920/21, don't show a 10-0 result, which is a bit of a mystery. Great bit of reading though.

The 1942 game was actually 10-1 (which must have spoiled the day for Palace fans!) but we did beat them 10-0 on April 6, 1940. It was a War League game. Programme scans attached. Check out the league table. Attachment: PALACEBRIGHTON193940 1.jpeg (87.08Kb)

Thanks for that correction! Sorry l got the wrong game ! twenty goals in two games against them. In 1941-42 we scored ten against them five in each game home and away. In those four games Bert Robson scored ten gpals!

As mentioned it was a war time game. Jack Blackman who’s mentioned in the report played for Palace from 1936-1946. Interesting point, the local results from the Thornton Heath league down in the bottom L/H corner, a league I played in during 80’s
