Palace had it outside with a top Birmingham firm in 89, decent turn out that day as was QPR away in the cup. Burnley away on a Monday night FA cup replay was a crack. Any one remember Oldham away ?

It was not the violence but the tension in the air that it could kick off at any moment that made the games exciting. Palace v Brighton away was always an adventure, getting bricked outside the station on the way in. Standing on the bridge over the station on the way out Palace and the weed all mixed together not knowing who's who until the kindly station bloke told all passengers for London to stand on the left and Passemgers for Brighton on the Right. Now nicely separted it all kicked of big time. The Birmingham fancy dress game was naughty. Bournemouth away 80's Someone let a firework off which got stuck in the roof of the main stand, about 6 cops came into the away end to arrest someone. But got trapped as someone shut the gate and they got a right kicking. Also I believe a stward got stabbed and may have died. Not one of Palaces finest moments. But there was a great keystone cops moment outside in the park as the cops came chasing after one of the Palace boys. You could here the Benny Hill music playing. Ipswich away. When my mate was asked where the station was and the Pr*ck replied I don't know mate I am from London. The bloke then pulled a knife. Lots of running throught the streets of Ipswich then ensued as we could not find our cars. I ride a GS scooter with my hair cut neat I wear my war time coat in the wind and sleet.
