I probably only stood at the Whitehorse end 3 or 4 times when it was an open terrace. I do remember one of those games was the match in which Steve Kember made his debut. Back in the 60s before the AW stand was built you paid your 2/6 and had the choice of three terraces. Very often supporters would move from one end to the other to be behind the goal at which their team was attacking.

Yes those were the days when the young and the restless moved about either to release their pent up disappointment or worry .We use to reside on the high ground behind where the Arthur Wait stand is now erected and some of those who congregated behind the goals would join us for the second half. We were usually frozen stiff,wet through or just numb with disappointment that Palace were a goal or two down. We had lots of fun and I now reckon they were my happiest days at Selhurst Park which did not cost much money. I use to walk home from school every day during the week and save my bus fare so as to be ready to go to the Palace on Saturday afternoon first team or reserves. Gosh that was 67 years ago now but it seems like yesterday!.

ote]Kermit8 at 01 Sep 2013 7.30pm My favourite haunt. Was gutted when it was pulled down and replaced by one less than half the size. Not only a great game here [Link] but some cracking views of the terrace as it was. ____________________________________________________ I was at that game, behind the Whitehorse Lane goal,as I arrived at the last minute before kick-off and it was the nearest entrance. Couldn't believe it when we went 2 up, but kept quite as surrounded by Man U fans - remember one of them saying, after the second goal went in, "we can't lose to these w*****s". Great, game though, privilege to see Best, Law and Charlton in their prime. Strangely, I remember the score as 2-5, I'm getting old of course. Edited by delwboy (14 Dec 2013 8.13pm)

Quote collier row eagle at 01 Sep 2013 8.01pm yep i remember it when it was just mud and grass, but it was a special place. also remember palace buying birchenal and tambling for £140,000 from chelsea. Saw Birchenall today on the TV at the Leicester v Burnley game ! Understand he works for the club in some capacity - He used to be the stadium announcer but I am not sure if he still fulfils this role. Edited by Willo (14 Dec 2013 8.04pm)

Excellent, chance no. 6724 for me to post the picture of me playing at SP in the 1980 Croydon Schools' Cup Final, which my School Sylvan High beat our arch rivals Edenham 2-1.
