Quote Noz at 15 Oct 2010 8.49am I went to a lot of games with my dad in the late 70's but I was just a toddler colouring in books with crayons and I have no real memory of them. My first "proper" game i went to see was a strange one, back in the 80's, i think it might have been 86. It was Palace vs Japan under 21's. I used to stand at the holmesdale end behind a little concrete wall just behind the pitch. I think we lost 1-2 if memory serves correctly. did we play them then? I went to most games then and cant recall that one, mind you it ws a quarter of a century ago. too far gone.. aint no way back this post was sponsored by fubar.com

Went as a Liverpool fan (I did not know better)came back a Palace fan Was it the right choice a 4-3 FA semi final win a few years latter says yes. Palace lost 3-2 but we scored first the place went mad. We were in the 3rd Division they were top in the first. Touched Kevin Keegans shirt as he got the ball for a throw in. Remember Doris screaming one in at the Holmesdale from about 25 yards i think to go 1-0 up..was right behind it and yep the place erupted....happy days I was also at this game. school mate got bashed by scousers,mugged him & nicked his sheepskin. THe Doris screamer of a goal - Holmsdale went berserk, but I think Keegan equalised within minutes,while the place was still buzzing. Great, great game though! I was there too. I reckon Doris broke the back of the net at the Whitehorse end not Holmesdale though. 42,000 were there and we were 3rd Div. Not bad. defo the Whitehorse Lane end. And George Graham got a late 2nd at the Holmesdale end. Supporting the mighty CPFC since September 1971

My first home game was in '97 -- Palace vs Southampton on Boxing Day, 'Itzak Zohah's penaltly day' My first away game was the 6-0 loss to QPR -- it was 'character building' 19 years, 13 season ticket holding years later, it's still character building!

First game was a friendly away at Highbury, just after we sold Wright. We won 2-1 (Wright scored for the Gooners.) 8/8/94 (I think) First home game, I am ashamed to say, was this year Pompey 14/9/10! Have been to all home games since though so hope I can be forgiven!
