I wasn't born or raised near any major footie club,so when i was 11(1977)i had a knockout dice competition to decide who the team of choice would be involving all 92 clubs.The final boiled down to man u v palace, and man u won,but being a bit non-conformist, i went with palace, and the rest is history I lack the imagination to think of one

Quote Petealiator at 16 Nov 2002 9:25am Quote buzzby at 16 Nov 2002 8:19am Me and my mate jumped on a 68 bus at the top of Knights Hill, at the start of the 67 season and ended up outside selhurst Park!!both 9 year old kids and thought this looks good lets go in. I think we played Cardiff City, and won 4-1. we sat on the grass bank at the whitehorse lane end! The next time Palace played a few more of me mates from the 3 estates at Crown point came along and that was it, we were hooked. The mate who went along with me the first time also supported Moan u as he saw them win the european cup on tele, and has stayed with them 2 of the others still go with me season ticket holders top tier Holmesdale. In those early days where we lived it was either Palace or Chelsea, simple as that, there was no crap from the North, this has come about by putting these teams on tele to much. another comment on this thread mentioned 93/94 when we was on the box a lot i think we gained a few supporters then, i Even had a mate from scotland lodge at my mums for about 2 years, and he became hooked, even to this day he tries to make the games when we are away up north Never a dull moment supporting the palace Anyone remember the old spannish/italian lady walking through the Holmesdale, shouting roasted peanuts sixpence a bag only, (i must be sad remembering that) Bloody 'ell that brought back some memories, I was a kid around Crown Point, I went to Crown Lane school and lived on Portobello estate until the age of 10 or 11 and it's true, EVERYONE was either Palace or Chelsea, the first match I ever went to was exactly the way you described yours, we had Red Bus Rover tickets and jumped on a 68 at Crown Point, I can't remember who Palace played or what the score was, but we sat at the top of the Holmesdale and I remember it was all dirt and tufts of grass, but it was wonderful, it would have been around 1972/73 I would think. Right I'm off to Norwich to see the boys stuff the budgie scum and sink a few wets, COME ON PALACE! Edited by Petealiator (16 Nov 2002 9:26am) I also lived on the portobello estate, my mum still does. when we drive up to see her we go past the ground my 2 year old boy says, Eagles Daddy!!! where did he get that from, no prompt!!! rub a dub dub who's buying the next round in the Pub?

This post has been merged from a topic called 'why do u support palace?' by Penge Eagle Started supporting palace when i was 8/9....'75/'76.........me old man use to go with his mates from the Spread Eagle,the Signal and the Beehive in south Norwood,and one time they went to a game v willmall and they took me and that was that i started to go with them even if me old man didnt. Plus i only lived on the new estate on long lane,Addiscomb so it just seemed natural to support the local team. As far as i know most of me old school mates from Monks orchard,shirley high and John Ruskin supported palace aswell. Dont know if any of them still get to the games or not,but i would think most of them turned up for the weed game. ROY HODGSON's RED''BLUE ARMY Ohhhh Lukaaaa ooooooh.... Ohhhhh Lukaaaa ooooooh.... He come's from Serbia........... He'll F**king Murdaaa Yaaa.......... Ohhhhh Lukaaaa ooooooh........
