The crowd isn't as good, but here's a panoramic that I did a couple of years back.

It was my dream to play for Palace and to make my debut. I've always played for the club so if I'm playing here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Selhurst is always at it's best when the floodlights are on.

But even at it's best still an old, decrepit 1920's
(almost like me) ground but, by crikey, if we lose it
I will be as mortfied as any - sunbathing on the grassy slopes with 5000 watching Newport County in the Third Division South, those were the days ...

View from Arthur Wait Stand in late 80s.

I used to stand in that exact spot, then moved along a bit to the left, to join in with the 'singers'.

Happy days.

sorry to be pedantic but the pics by Bubbs and the ones from A Burton can't both be the Fulham promotion game as one set has the Arthur stand and one does not. Also in one of the shots is that Johnny B in a Fulham shirt behind Kember

Jesus! Look at the size of the space at the Whitehorse end in the 1924 shot from above. We could of had an absolute mammoth sized stand there if it hadn't been sold off to sainsbury's!


Is that the Whitehorse End? I thought the picture is taken from the players tunnel now with the Holmesdale on the right and facing the Arthur?


That's got to be the Whitehorse, with the trees on Grangewood Park behind Whitehorse Lane rolling up in the background? Great pic anyway


How stupid, of course it is.

I do hope that picture doesn't end up being a glimpse into the future

Don't know the answer to the match query but that most definitly is Johnny Byrne after his transfer from West Ham to Fulham. Starting to get porky then but nothing
can take away from the legend of his being our best ever
player and full England international cap while still at Selhurst. R.I.P.

That's right Johnny returned to Selhurst with Fulham in the promotion game,but i didn't realise the Arthur had been started to be built with the roof apparently on.
He only played against us once so that has to be the promotion photo.
My all time Palace hero but sadly past his best by then and overweight,bit like me i guess.

You are right,not sure where the A Burton one comes from it's difficult to pin point it by that photo.
Did you realise they had already started the Arthur Wait before the season ended?

It was started straight after promotion and was completed for the first top flight home game against Man Utd.Arthur Wait's building firm were involved in it's construction.
All done in about 3 months incredible really.

Isn't this the footage of the building work in process? (posted earlier in this thread)
