This is my 50th season as well. Cardiff away 10/08/68 we won 4-0. My Dad was a Cardiff man but I defected immediately and he used to take me SP until I was old enough to go with my mates in the 70/71 season.
Thanks Dad! |

We have a winner , congratulations sir , there's a fella down the road from me thats been going to Palace since 1946 and he's still going, and this reminds me of a little ditty I read in the Croydon Advertiser about a chap who was on leave during the war and went up to Selhurst with a royal Enfield rifle over his shoulder , many years later some time in the 80s he went back to Selhurst to stand on the Holmesdale and had a golfing umbrella with him as it was pissing down , he was told he would have to leave the umbrella in the bucket by the gate as it was deemed an offensive weapon

Is Freddie Kurz still with us ? I think that he went before me, Trouble was that it was difficult to get into the ground, some twat called Adolph prevented the gates from opening.

50 years for me....first game 20 April 1968 vs Birmingham. 10 years old, stood in the Whitehorse end right behind the goal. Was 0-0 but remember the ball hitting the bar and being amazed by the power and strength of the players.....then suddenly it was 50 years later ! No regrets, I’ve loved it.

49 years for me, my dad took me when I was 5 but he couldn't remember the match and nor can I. The first game I vaguely remember was in 1970 against Chelsea which we lost 1-5, it was a xmas present and I can clearly remember wearing my first Palace kit with pride.

55th season just started for me. Enthusiasm for Palace has hardly diminished at all.
Many congrats to those fine people on here who have chalked up 70+ years. |
