Tooting & Mitcham United 1 Palace 2 - FA Cup 1st Round, Nov 27th 1974.
Palace just relegated to the old Division Three - Tooting & Mitcham used to play at Sandy Lane in Mitcham - this Cup Tie was more local for many Palace fans than Selhurst Park. The original game was postponed because heavy rain had waterlogged the pitch - the match was moved to the next Tuesday with a 2pm kick-off, because T & M had such weak floodlights - I had to get special permission to get off school early (would that even happen now?!) - I remember getting in the ground just as there was a loud roar - apparently Tooting had scored first. Remember there was a huge fight at the far end of the ground - been loads of stories since about it being local Chelsea fans and some Irish builders who had got in looking for a row with Palace fans in the crowd. Palace came back to win 2-1 - but then lost at Plymouth in the next round. The next season (1975/76) was the big Palace Cup Run - and I saw Palace play at Millwall, Leeds, Chelsea and Sunderland on the way to our first ever FA Cup Semi- Final in 1976.

Just thinking back to me original post.
It would've been the 73/74 season. I'm 50 in May. Farkin' 'ell! Never thought I'd live this long. There's still time though.

Having been going to many home matches since 1963 and a few away london derbies with the likes of Clowns or Scumwall my first long distance one was Preston North End in 1969 which was 0 - 0 as a 15 year old before we beat Fulham to get promoted to Div 1. Then went to Blackburn on a midweek night to celebrate promotion having got permission fromschool headmaster to have 2 days off school so I could go, as did 3 friends.
Was the start of my life supporting Palace away from home which continues to this day |

Brighton away 1974 lost 0-1, and the start of a great rivalry. Went with my dad and grandad. It seemed like all the cars on the A23 heading south were Palace fans, scarves out the windows on aerials etc. Then it all kicked off in the ground and as a young lad mesmirised by the whole thing!!
