Edited by NICK THE EAGLE (16 Sep 2016 7.17am) I was there too. All I remember is that Southampton kicked us off the Park and when their 2nd goal went in, all the Fedora Hat's bowed in unison like a group submission. It p1ssed down with rain too.

Improvement and change is good , slowly but surely I hope it carries on . That was the Holmesdale End mate

But hey nostalgia is not what it used to be
I found my palace rosette the other day that I wore to Stamford Bridge when we lost to Southampton in the cup
I was 12 at the time
I had been supporting since 67
Funny reading some of the posts on here when calling a player or a manager a " legend "
But back to the OP , yes indeed supporting CPFC has been a slippery slope
But that really doesn't mean that it should always be that way
Its human nature to raise expectation
The squad now seems better than our ones in the past due to hype or inflated fees , but how much would players such as
Kenny Sansom , Swindlehurst , Taylor , Rogers , Wright etc etc be worth in todays market ?
Improvement and change is good , slowly but surely I hope it carries on .

I remember it being a terrible game Sadly, I got incredibly drunk before the game, as I was a stupid 15 year old, and I hardly took in much of the game What an idiot. Not much has changed. I had too much to drink last night too I don't know who to blame for this Brexit perhaps

Peter Taylor was definitely "roughed up" during the match. I agree that we didn't perform to our full potential though.
