Also the amateur team disbanded in 1876, long before the cup finals were held (they started in 1895) so their was no unfair advantage!! so again your facts are inaccurate You love being right even when you're wrong.

meaning, we would have a claim to their colours, and the fact they changed their nickname to the Seagulls (To parody the Eagles) they really would be in our Shadow !!

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Palace 1861 ?!' by bexleydave Im of the opinion that we should claim the honour of being the Worlds oldest club even if the history was a bit disjointed back in the 19th C .
And we still need a striker |

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Palace 1861 ?!' by bexleydave I'm not sure you can claim that Crystal Palace is the only current club name to have played in the first FA cup, as a few other names from the 15 participants remain as football clubs. Granted, Crystal Palace is the only name in the current major leagues i.e. top 4 divisions, so that'll do! As an aside...I never realised until I just looked it up that 'Wanderers FC', the reformed version of the five-time FA Cup winners, is based in Upper Norwood. Clearly I haven't been paying attention!
Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes) |

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Palace 1861 ?!' by bexleydave A short article on this site in 2004: [Link] I would say from my research they are two separate clubs with strong links, a bit like Newton Heath and Man United. United did a special Newton Heath yellow and green away kit in the 90s and I reckon it's likely we may have a 160th anniversary blue and white version for us.
