Ha ha ha Edited by spartakev2 (17 Jan 2017 5.09pm) A cup final in recent history. A semi cup final only a few years ago. Only south London club to ever play in Europe. Knocking a 'big' club like Leeds out of the play offs. Recently beating prem league opposition. For a club who average about 10 thousand yeah I'd say that's punching above our weight.

All this talk about their being no palace fans in new cross or Peckham does anyone even care if you were to ask the average football fan to name a team from south london at least 75% would probably say palace maybe if you asked them to name a team from Kent they might edge gillingham out in the popularity stakes walking down the holmesdale road to see the palace aces!

The thing is proper south London now couldn't be further from the blue collar working class identity that Millwall fans have always been so proud of. it is a shame but let's be honest any new fans you get will be the sort of people that will look down their nose at someone from Croydon, everything your club stands against and the other half will be 14 year olds who live 40 miles away, coming to London for a day out, taking a few pictures of St paul's and tower Bridge, speaking like Danny dyer for the day befoe heading back to their little village in Kent and boasting how they took London bridge. That is 100 times worse than being called a nigel.

'WE need a proper rival ' is the thread's title .. its not Millwall or Charlton's fault they have never seen Palace as a rival in the same way as my club never saw Fulham as anything other than nice little neighbours .. rivalry cant be manipulated its something thats earned over decades .

yeah, they dont like us one bit but west ham are there proper rivals, i went to palace and millwall for years in the 80"s,west ham and millwall had to be the top rivalry anywhere in london, arsenal got a reputation a bit after, dentons time, had big numbers, think the spurs boys kind of took over in past ten years, maybe a numbers thing again, lots of other teams as well but numbers count, thats where millwall done well on smaller numbers, tight firm, but you got to give credit to west ham , mile end mob, bill gardners time, icf, organised, bit old for all that now but it was fun at the time

Too many chiefs at Millwall. All the little areas and mobs would come together on match day but none of them would like taking orders off each other and it would quite often kick off between groups, loads of in fighting. With West Ham they had bill Gardner and what he said went.

Originally posted by Wippa We (Millwall) have been a south London club for far longer than palace have. We crossed over the water in 1915. Selhurst Park was in Surrey up until 1965 so we've officially been a south London club for 50 years longer than palace have. Even now days most still class you as a Surrey club. Yes you might have an SE postcode but you're on the arse end of south London on the borders with Surrey, while we still play in the heart of south London. All this "south London is ours" rubbish. Most of you wouldn't be able to find your way around inner city south London without google maps. I'm not gonna lie to you now, I'd rather The Palace be seen as a Surrey club (even though we're not) than the fact that we're only 6 miles down the road than you poor white trash. If that means us being a Surrey club then Surrey me up! Babs and Clean Willie were in love they said....

Originally posted by Wippa This article sums it up better than I ever could. [Link] To actually come out with 'palace' and 'inner city club ' in the same sentence shows how deluded you are. Edited by Wippa (14 Jan 2017 7.25pm) Edited by Wippa (15 Jan 2017 11.23am) As i said in a previous post, I've never once said Palace are an inner city club. We are located in the south London suburb of south Norwood. Nothing wrong with that. When i said I have seen a few Palace in New Cross/Peckham, it could mean that they could just be in the area for whatever reason and don't even live there. When it come to these places as well as places such as Walworth, Camberwell you have the majority of the support If it is one thing i agree with other post posted is that most of South London is dominated by both Arsenal and Chelsea. You go to places like Wandsworth and it feels like chelsea city. Both us and Wall being the most supported clubs based in south London.. Never met a Charlton fan in South London central. Well certainly not in the London Borough of Lambeth anyways.
