I played bowls in a league match last night in Essex. (Yes I'm an old git) Chatting to my opposite number and he said he was a Leeds fan. Told him I was Palace and he replied I'm good friends with a Palace fan that runs a pub near the ground. Not Danny says I. Yes he says!!! Small world eh! Anyone else had something similar? Foot note - We won 30-10!!!

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

When I was a teenager I worked in a sports department in a Coop in Portsmouth. Palace had been relegated that season and Dowie happened to come into the store and we had a brief chat and he signed something. He wanted to get a football shirt for his kid that wasn't just Man Utd or Liverpool and I told him we had the West Ham shirt. Soon after he signed for West Ham. Coincidence? Lee Bradbury also visited the store that year but I hold no responsibility for him joining us a couple of years later!

Foot note - We won 30-10!!! As I think you know I am a bowler too (we got hammered 24-7 last night by a rink of County bowlers) but this isn’t bowls related. Years ago when I was in the Philippines I made a 2 hour drive to the other side of the island I was on to stay for a few days and go diving. The first evening I was looking for somewhere to eat and went in one of the many “Restobars”, ordered a beer and some food and started to chat with the only other guy in there, who turned out to also be English. Then I noticed an old Palace scarf behind the bar, and remarked on it. Not only did he own the bar, he was a member here with whom I had exchanged messages. Needless to say we spent a lot of time talking Palace and watching live games at odd hours. I have lost touch and he no longer posts.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

It’s the silly season month of June, it’s usually worse than this, at least this close season we’ve had palace players in the England squad to give us something and help keep the boring and the lunacy on here down to a minimum Edited by monkey (22 Jun 2024 8.59am)
