As a youngster visiting family in Sutton , Cheam , Carshalton and Mitcham nearly everybody was a Chelsea fan and considering the proximity and links to Selhurst park I found this annoying...
My question is this...
Is our support increasing around these areas ...
Do you see more visible palace shirts etc...
Just be interested to know....

Was walking down the street in Ireland the other day and a guy runs up to me to ask if I'm a Palace fan. I was wearing a Palace hat - it was cold and I'm bald. Turns out he works in the shop over the road from me. However, his Mum is from Bromley - as am I. We were chatting about the usual (how rubbish we are). Roy etc.
Anyway, I can say there are more foreign supporters since we're in the Premier League. You see the Americans, for instance, on this forum - although maybe they got bored with us! (Who'd blame them).
I would guess being Premier League, and now established Premier League, brings more supporters. There aren't many reasons to be embarrassed to be Palace anymore are there? Although, I never was, of course. I always support a local team - well at least go to the matches. I presume quite a few are like me. So if they're in the area, they will likely be casual followers at least.

Bromley , Hayes and West Wickham always seemed to have good Palace support, Orpington too but as you move towards Downham it becomes Millwall...
Years ago when delivering around Orpington I shocked to see a Brighton shirts on a couple of occasions....

Ten years in the Premier League should have made a difference, but I think we have to win something to boost numbers of young fans

We'd better all have some more kids.

I take my 4yo son to a football thing every Saturday morning and there's definitely a few Palace shirts around.

Can't really compare it to the past but I feel like in years gone by some of those certainly might have been Chelsea or Arsenal.

Still a disproportionately high number of Liverpool and United shirts which I find baffling considering I'm in Kent. Daresay they all 'have family in the area'.

I think when I was at school in the 70’s it seemed to me that there was more Millwall than Palace in Bromley, but you make the point about Downham, well my school, although not in Downham, it was pretty close at the top of Bromley Hill, so it would make sense although it was a long time ago

You see the odd kid in a Palace shirt around Camberwell.

ERR, the name sort of gives it away
