Palace - same as Monkey….grew up in Bromley. Didn’t fancy Millwall and went to Charlton with some school mates but just never liked it there. My dad finally gave in to my badgering him and took me to Palace v. Ipswich in 1967. Lost 0-2. I was hooked. Bromley - hometown club. And I went to school across the road from their ground in Hayes Lane. Got a table of 10 booked in their Executive Club for their last home game this season FC Sion - Sion is where my Swiss mates live and a visit to a game there is always fun. Standard of football isn’t great, but they have superb Ultras that bring a lot of atmosphere to the stadium. Oh, and you can drink beer on the terraces Weymouth - used to watch them as a kid while staying with my cousins in Portland. One of their former owners had a hotel in Weymouth which I stayed at many years later. We talked football and kept the bar open until 3am ! Dorchester Town - used to watch them too when on holiday in Dorset. 2 notable games, both friendlies. First v Plymouth when Malcolm Allison was manager and second when Palace played there under Warnock . Sat with Sean Scannell and told him I thought one of our young players looked half decent. Whatever happened to Wilfred Zaha ?

Palace - from Bromley, Mum was born in the Holmesdale Rd. We are all Palace. There's a few of us. Kidderminster Harriers - lived there for years. Would go to Palace away games in the Midlands or go to the Harriers. Watched their original FA Trophy win and their original FA Cup run - including beating Birmingham away - which was a bit hairy to say the least. Galway Utd - live here now. I basically always support my local team. Play on Friday nights in the rain and cold. It's a bit like watching a non league, conference side. I once saw Stranraer in the Scottish second division. If I'm pushed about Scottish football, I support them. I won't have a Celtic or Rangers affiliation. I've been to a lot of Liverpool games but I can't say I support them, can say I prefer them to Man U or Everton, that's about it. I know a season ticket holder. He brings me to our away game every season, I bring him to Selhurst. Secretly I think he prefers Selhurst and he knows all the songs. I don't know the Liverpool songs and never will.
