That was always my starting end of the ground, when you were able to walk round to the Holmesdale in the second half but is was always my prefered end.
I recall that match so well and was so gutted when Law twisted and slotted home the fifth, as I looked through the net.
Way back in the 3rd Division South and 4th Division days we'd go back up the top, which would be on Sainsburys roof and have a kick around.
Happy day's

........................Then along came Johnny Byrne! and the rest, as they say, is history.....................

My first game was in 65 so I remember the terrace prior to that one which I think was built after the 69 promotion along with the Park Road terrace being converted to the Arthur Wait. From memory entrance to the Whitehorse was via old corrugated turnstile huts then we walked/scrambled up the back of the grass slopes to get to the terrace, don't recall such luxury as steps or concrete paths!
I had a DIY 'stander' my dad made so that I could see the pitch plus my wooden rattle painted claret and blue by my sister.
Would love to see photos anyone has of the ground then or point me to where they may be found on the net.

I started going to Selhurst in 1963.

There was grass at the top of the Holmesdale and the Arthur Wait stand didn't exist... that was terrace with grass at the top. Even the main stand had terrace at the bottom (called the enclosure).

I never felt the urge to go down the whitehorse end for some reason.

Some cracking old photos there on that BBS thread.....

We are Palace from Selhurst.

i remember standing on there in 79 for the burnley game 51000 there dave swindlehurst and ian walsh scoring 2-0 to go up as champions what a day

Holmesdale for me too, then on the pitch!

Great night!
