The crowd isn't as good, but here's a panoramic that I did a couple of years back. Attachment: Selhurst Panoramic.jpg (6,771.00Kb) It was my dream to play for Palace and to make my debut. I've always played for the club so if I'm playing here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. - John Bostock (Nov 2007)

Selhurst is always at it's best when the floodlights are on. But even at it's best still an old, decrepit 1920's (almost like me) ground but, by crikey, if we lose it I will be as mortfied as any - sunbathing on the grassy slopes with 5000 watching Newport County in the Third Division South, those were the days ...

sorry to be pedantic but the pics by Bubbs and the ones from A Burton can't both be the Fulham promotion game as one set has the Arthur stand and one does not. Also in one of the shots is that Johnny B in a Fulham shirt behind Kember

Look at the size of the space at the Whitehorse end in the 1924 shot from above. We could of had an absolute mammoth sized stand there if it hadn't been sold off to sainsbury's! Is that the Whitehorse End? I thought the picture is taken from the players tunnel now with the Holmesdale on the right and facing the Arthur? That's got to be the Whitehorse, with the trees on Grangewood Park behind Whitehorse Lane rolling up in the background? Great pic anyway How stupid, of course it is. I do hope that picture doesn't end up being a glimpse into the future 'Better stop dreaming of the quiet life 'cos it's the one we'll never know'

Also in one of the shots is that Johnny B in a Fulham shirt behind Kember Don't know the answer to the match query but that most definitly is Johnny Byrne after his transfer from West Ham to Fulham. Starting to get porky then but nothing can take away from the legend of his being our best ever player and full England international cap while still at Selhurst. R.I.P.

He only played against us once so that has to be the promotion photo. My all time Palace hero but sadly past his best by then and overweight,bit like me i guess.

You are right,not sure where the A Burton one comes from it's difficult to pin point it by that photo.
