50 years next year for me as well. First game Palace vs Boro in the run in to promotion. Lulled in to a false sense of optimism!

It was 50 for me last year, March 1967 at home to Millwall we lost 2-1 but saw my hero Johnny Byrne score our goal in front of a good crowd of 32k

This coming May it will be 40 years since I first walked into Selhurst. Saw us crush Blackburn 5-0 last game of the season. The following season we won the league and were promoted to the top flight. By September we were top of Division 1. I was supporting the best team in the land...and it’s been glory upon glory ever since.

I'm just a rather pathetic (compared to you lot) 38 years since I went to my first game: August 1980, Palace 5 Middlesborough 2, Clive Allen hat-trick, in what turned out to be an absolute shithouse season. It actually took me 6 years between declaring myself a Palace fan in 1974 aged 7, to getting to a game.

March 1964. We beat Bournemouth 2 - 1. I was a lot of the other games that were first games for many on here and have very clear recollections of them, considering I don't remember what I had for dinner yesterday.

How many of us have taken our children to games who are now die hard Palace? got to look after the families thats what keeps you going in the tough times we have had enough of those. I cant remember my first game but have been going for most of my life, this is up there with the best football we have played.

Charlton at home for me when I first made my 'debut' to Selhurst. I stood on the Holmesdale and could see Jack shit.
Palace 2-0 Charlton - att 15'276. Mark Bright and Garry Thompson. 28 years, 3 months, 26 days or 10344 days. |

Not until December 2021. I was dragged from NW Kent for my birthday treat of watching a Division 1 game by my father. I am afraid to admit that I had no historic or schoolmate connection to Selhurst and it wouldn't have been my first choice, but that choice was banned as impossible by my father (a Tottenham supporting Islington boy; my choice being Arsenal). We won 5-1, went on to have a relegation near miss and then went down the season after. I never looked back. Thanks dad!
