Bought my car off a bloke from Atherstone near Coventry. His favourite local pub? The Crystal Palace.

In my little north wales town we have about a dozen eagles (granted they include son,daughter nephew and his lad)brainwashed by myself a supporter since Bert Head who watch most away matches in North West and Midlands (no guessing who pays)and local taxi driver Gerry Humphreys played for palace in early seventies.Also about an hour inland in slate mining/edge of Snowdonia a small village called Penmachno the palace are most supported club.Apparently in 1960/70 a couple of lads in village had trials and played forCPFC.I wonder how many other areas around Britain have pockets of palace fans for these reasons

What a great story. Love it.

In terms of moving around the ground I recall supporters moving at half-time to behind the goal we were going to be attacking in the second half.
In those days, before the game teams used to enter the pitch separately - Big cheer for our team and boos for the opposition!
Furthermore none of this perfunctory 'Hand shake' ritual before kick off.

Respectfully I’m not sure how much of this I agree with.

First you say there were 50k diehards at Wembley A few years back.
I knew people who went to that game who hadn’t been since the cup final 25 years before! People were coming out of the woodwork trying to get tickets. Some weren’t even Palace fans.
To me a diehard is someone who turns up when we are playing Crewe etc.

Secondly, I don’t get why by we would get 30-35k every week by building a 40k stadium when we often don’t fill Selhurst which holds 26k

Just my opinion

The old saying, If you build it they will come.
Its fact that if you give people bigger, newer facilities far more people will turn up. Been proven many many times, sometimes even with staggering results.
