Palace 13th 2017/18.

I used to travel on Coach 1 in the 70's....Gerry Mansfield was the ' steward '.

Other folks I remember are Terry Fannin, Robbie Tobin, Big Dave Cox, Joyce ' The Voice ' and her husband Doug, Steve Stutley ( long time match day steward at SP )

Drop off for Roker Park was always on the seafront, a good 25 minute walk...one midweek game we were taken back to the coach in police vans for our own safety !

I heard from Gerry a few months back. He lost interest in football altogether - amazing considering the commitment to it he once had.

Willo, you can still see Stutley on match days at Selhurst Park, usually around Holmesdale Road area.

And yes, prior to working in the CPFC box office, Robbie was cellar man at The Sussex...

Might have been in the 80s but I remember feeling unwell with cold,sore throat etc and getting on a coach to go to Shrewsbury.Got around the Birmingham area and it started to snow haevily to the extent we were informed that the game had been postponed !

There was talk of going to see a game at Coventry but couldn't do so because of insurance reasons. One of the blokes on our coach was Big 'Dave Illingworth'.He was a rather rotund chap with big bushy sideburns and was well known by supporters. Does anyone have any news of the chap who was known as "Illy" ?
