Only ever been to one pre-season friendly. Never again. Years ago, away to Welling Utd. Took the day off work because CPFC were coming to play my local team (well them, Dartford or Erith & Belvedere were relatively equidistant). Baking hot day and a waste of an afternoon's potential drinking time. Gave up mid-way through the 2nd half; nipped into Danson Park next door to play pitch and putt.
Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes) |

You should still go........ The ground is in the town centre with plenty of bars, restaurants and shops near by.
Bexley Dave Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing! "The most arrogant, obnoxious bunch of deluded little sun tanned, loafer wearing mummy's boys I've ever had the misfortune of having to listen to" (Burnley forum) |

If any Maidstone fans are reading this (unlikely), I'm just kidding. I have a lot of respect for non-league football and wouldn't ever take the mickey out of a non-league team. Except Dover. They are a bunch of c**ts.

I've been to the Crabble Athletic Ground. Told this story before, but when they came down to Leylands Park their chairman flounced about moaning at what a tin pot club we were in a loud voice, and how much bigger Dover are as a club. Evidently when Palace played Dover in the FA Cup they must've done the same because he appeared in a local Dover newspaper complaining at Palace acting like the big boys when they came to visit Crabble. I nearly had a fist fight with him as well because he was moaning at the ref about a yellow card not being given for a foul in the first half of the game. He moaned for an hour before I told him the ref was unlikely to change his mind an hour later and he got proper stroppy. Fat little pig. He reminded me of Den Perry from Phoenix Nights.

I mean he probably had a point about the relative size of the clubs. Not just probably, of course Dover have better facilities. But there's such thing as being a bit courteous on your travels. He was on a mission to upset people and laud it over folks. Really not a nice bloke. Still, got a taste of his own medicine for a bit.

Maybe this wasn't his intention at all.Maybe just a bit of banter with 'Home' supporters in response to what they had to say ? Could have been just harmless banter with smiles all round ?

Only ever been to one pre-season friendly. Never again. Years ago, away to Welling Utd. Took the day off work because CPFC were coming to play my local team (well them, Dartford or Erith & Belvedere were relatively equidistant). Baking hot day and a waste of an afternoon's potential drinking time. Gave up mid-way through the 2nd half; nipped into Danson Park next door to play pitch and putt. You sure know how to live
When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC |

You sure know how to live Well it was either pitch and putt or the Nag's Head over the road, except the previous time I'd been in there, there was a full-on pub brawl. The only one I've ever seen. Anyway, Danson Park was landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, so it was at least a little bit classy. I don't think he did the pitch and putt though.

Yep that pub is still there next to a Morrison's now and there's a big Tesco there. Could do a weeks shopping to pass the time I suppose.
