Miss the Percy Daltons peanuts sold by the Italian lady but hey ho!!

52 years for me. Best memory is the Man U 5-0 win.
Was the Italian lady called something like Mrs Minichella? I remember she had a tray with her name painted on. It didn’t fit so sort of tailed away at the end.

A few months behind you my first game was against Man United in the Old division one which was probably August.

Best memory tough call between Burnley 1979 and the Zenith Data Cup final.

Oh I know all about the thin can someone remind me about the thick.

Reading 1 Crystal Palace 6, Elm Park, September 1996, was pretty good.

 


Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

March 1967, lost 0-2 at home to Ipswich.

The season after next Palace got promoted to the top flight for the first time in their history, so in many ways that '68/69 season has special memories.

42 years from my first match - August 77 v Soton.

43 years from when I first started following Palace about January '77, looking at the result then next day looking where they are in the league table getting excited if they had moved up.

Find out what team is in which division, eg which division is Coppull United in?

40 years. I believe I saw something like 17 matches before I saw us win. First memory is from away at QPR with Clive Allen playing for them. Ended with a riot.

Mrs Minchella who used to stand on the Holmesdale terrace.
A lot of shells to sweep away after the game !

I recall an old chant which used to end "Peanuts for sixpence" !

First match December 28th 1959 v Gillingham .
My brother and I were taken to ground by my dad's work mate , when we moved to Beckenham , to get us off their hands so they could sort out the house as we had just moved in .
We stood in front of the hospital broadcasting box at the top of the sloop , in which is now the Arthur Wait
stand .
Have seen some great games and also a lot of **** games but once it's in your blood there is no going back

First match 1 May 1957 Palace 1 Torquay 1. Torquay needed to win to get promoted from Third Division South but Palace scuppered their dream. 22,000 people, I was standing on the terraces below the grass slopes of the current Arfur side. Fans from both sides were together and I remember a Torquay fan complaining that Palace were playing so well.
Lots of great memories since but this one still stands out.

It is quite strange someone actually coming from Coventry, because that’s where people usually get sent
