Dunno how you lot remember that far back.

Was 1961/62 or 1962/63 season that I first went to SP.I was 5 years old
Can't remember who we played or what the score was.

I do remember that we used to go to Thornton Heath swimming baths before the game and then to the ground,with our towels rolled up under our arms,with a soup from the vending machine from the swimming baths.

As for thick and thin part of the question,the oxtail soup was thick,the vegetable soup was thin.

Think it cost sixpence to get in and threepence for a program.

. . . & there peeps is the answer to all male questions.

Oxtail = Thick Veg = Thin

SIMPLES.

Yep, Allen scored a scrappy goal in the 90th minute having bad mouthed Palace in the Press all week.

It wasn't well received by the Palace contingent !

Reminds me of my dislike for QPR. Was funny when they were the boutique club. More like the shoe box club.

since Jan 1973 - was Man U saw first game 0-5 (5-0!) two weeks later became a failed glory hunter - je ne regrette rien including home 80s defeats to the likes of Shrewsbury and Barnsley in front of 4000 or so in freezing conditions with Alan Mullary all shades cigar and fur giving it out on the touchline to little effect and Trevor Aylott and Trevor Francis the ups and downs of Peter Taylor, Florient Marange and Jaroslav Jach.

My first game was April 76 a 1-1 draw at home to Halifax. Think it was shortly before Southampton literally kicked us out of the FA Semi. Next games 0-0 Chesterfield and Aldershot. First win at home to York City 1-0 opening game 76-77. Worst was getting beaten 5-0 at home to w@nky Wimbledon in 85. Only silver lining was someone trying to lynch Noades.

Mine would have been 1953/54 or 1954/55 season. I remember Ray Potter was in goal and let one in through his legs; the oppo were in red but can't remember which team it was. We lived at 4 Farnley road, so dad used to take me up to see the last 20 minutes when the gates were opened to let the crowd out. The first goal I can remember was a Mike Deakin header at the Whitehorse Lane end some years later.

First match 1957 third division south lost to QPR.Remember a couple of years later we had Mike Deakin at C/F Tony Collins L/W and Alfie Noakes F/B.Things started to look up when Johnny Byrne came out of the army and we had a good team.Followed Palace ever since.Low point when Steve Kember was manager.We played some dire football under Alan Smith but still got promoted but all things considered it has been great to be a fan for the last 60 years

Impressive

FA Cup 3rd round Replay 1977 Jan 11th

Palace 2 - Liverpool 3

Went with my Dad and his mate Dave in Daves Capri.

Went as a Liverpool fan (Don't Judge me) came out a Palace fan, 42 years and counting wouldn't change it for the world. From Burnley 79 to 9-0 at Anfield & 4-3 Semi win and everything in between.

we were in div 3 and got 43,000 for a cup replay - that's why we've got to increase capacity - some time in the mid 80s we lost the idea that we could be a big club, used to get 40+k crowds regularly back then, home to spurs in 78 in div 2 40k, all that soft surrey support, we don't have the non local following that the giants have, but we've got a higher proportion of fair weather supporters in our own locality than any other club.

I remember that Huddersfield match. They were already relegated from the old Div 1 and we were now safe. They should have won, missing an open goal towards the end. But it was awful....

That match was a shocker. A wet drizzly afternoon with two sets of players going through the motions. No goals and no thrills. Truly awful.

My first game was 55 years ago against Colchester United - Feb 1964. Unfortunately also 0-0. My dad bought me a rosette and one of those little star shaped plastic badges with a player's photo on it - I chose Andy Smillie. Unfortunately, unbeknown to me, he'd left the club a year earlier. The b****** selling it saw me coming!

I was present at this game.I recall the date 27th Nov 1976, only because my friend got married that day and I went straight from the match to the reception.
