Long-time Palace supporter from the States... I'm making my way to London with my father for the Wolves match on Oct 6 for our first match at Selhurst. Which stand should we get tickets? Both of us like to be on our feet and will want to be in chorus with the rest of the faithful that day. Don't want to be sitting on our hands with the family/visiting/older groups of supporters. Should we look at Holmesdale end near the HF's? How are the X,Y,Z sections in Arthur Wait? Any other recs? Also, I've heard the Clifton Arms is closed to season tickets holders only on match days? Where else would you recommend for us to dive in and have a few before heading to the match? Can't wait to see the boys play in person. Thanks in advance

I am no expert on this so I may get corrected, I do not think you will get tickets near the HF but the Arthur Waite stand generally has a good atmosphere.

Thanks in advance Won't find any of that here, even the kids as young as 6 months have to sing or the stewards will kick them out. That's just how we do it over on this side of the water.

You can’t go wrong with either the Holmesdale, or the Arthur close to the Holmesdale.
Always look on the bright side of life |

i'm piggy backing off of this as i too am coming for the first time. december game. it's 10 year anniversary and i'm using that as an excuse to take wifey to london and she has to go to a game with me. so 2 parter: 1. how to get tickets. and where to drink beforehand? 2. any touristy recommendations? we're only going to be there a few days. i know the typical stuff but don't know what's worth it and what's not. i'm sure we'll see a show one of the evenings. thanks.

Nairb75, If I can, I'll write a review on this thread of our travels/match experience so that you'll have it from the eyes of a first-time Yank at SP. Up the Palace!
