1963 lived in West Norwood at the time,used to walk up to Selhurst with Denny Warren and the boys.

South London born and bred
red and blue till im dead.

1st time I started looking out for Palace's results and looking at them in the table was around March 1977 when I was 10.

1st match I went to was with my Grandad on 30/08/77 against Southampton in the League Cup - result 0-0 (thank you history section for the date). I loved it, I was standing in the Holmesdale end. Please could anyone tell me if Alan Ball was playing for the Saints in this match?

I was going to go to the previous home match against Hull - result 0-1, but it was pouring with rain.

The pyramid to beat all pyramids!!

Find out what team is in which division, eg which division is Coppull United in?

April 1969. Palace 3 Portsmouth 1. At the age of 12 just before promotion to the old First division for the first time.
My parents weren't really into football but my Uncles all supported Chelsea and used to drag me to Stamford Bridge and tried to drum Chelsea into me. I hated it and prefered watching Sutton United. My first trip to Selhurst got me hooked and I eventually managed to persuade Mum and Dad to come along. Mum got hooked as well and was a fanatic until she died in 1991. She was always in love with Big Mal! There is a brick in the wall for her on the outside of the Old Stand. Dad was never that fanatical and gave up after Mum died. But my lads now love going along when they get down from Crouch End and Warrington (Cheshire). We moved to Leicestershire in 1989 and my wife and I still do the trip up and down the M1. I hate the journey but still love going to Palace. The experience is brilliant.
Chelsea or Palace? I made the right decision.

Beat that.

I was there that day. I used to sell the "jackpot tickets" on the Whitehorse end in those days for pocket money. ( free entry to game as well!)

Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? [Link]

Was a 7yo Man U fan in '72 - I am Robert, called Bobby as a boy, so big fan of Bobby Charlton, who missed the game at Selhurst in December which was my first game. Dad left early so missed our fifth goal (Don Roger's second). Two weeks later I came out the closet a claret and blue 8yo glazier. We lost the return 2-0 at Old Trafford at Easter. Loser both times. Je ne regrette rien.
