The match, and also a glimpse into the future, cos if we move to the athletics stadium this might be our view of the pitch!!! Edited by Bubbs (22 Mar 2011 8.02pm)

THE MERCANTILE CREDIT CLASSIC! Yes, the first time Palace really played at Wembley! This was a football league centenary tournament that clubs qualified through their form in a specific set of league matches. I seem to remember we just qualified at the death. A bit of a damp squid really with Wembley half empty - needless to say I think we were the most represented there. Anyway, we played Sheff Wed; drew 0-0 and went out on penalties with Barber I think missing the crucial one. The Palace end
I always had it in mind Glenn Pennyfather missed his pen but my old noggings not what it was

I was there! if memory serves me right qualification was through league performance in a specified number of games earlier in the season, and ultimately we qualified through a last minute goal in a match. Hazy memory now but didnt we go through at millwalls expense?

Infact, there is a credible argument to be made that had Pennyfather not got injured, promotion, FA Cup Final, 3rd in Div 1 wouldn't have happened. Fate working in our favour for a change. Pennyfather promised a lot when he came, and he did look like he could play a bit, but always seemed ineffectual to me. Think we paid a fair bit for him for those days too. Then in struts free transfer Madden and gets the whole team by the scruff of the neck and leads us into the promised land.

Great pics Gary Megson scoring Weds' penalty and Neal Redfearn scored the Palace one not shown to become the first Palace player to score at Wembley.

I remember that Luton had the section to our right and that their supporters were wearing hats which resulted in the Palace supporters singing "Who's the prat in the silly hat". after the palace game during the second round games a group of palace supporters decided that as our section was a bit too crowded we would go into the Luton section which was almost empty. The Luton supporters couldn't believe it when we walked in and sat down on the old terracing. Quote Cartoon Head at 26 Mar 2011 6.08pm
