Somewhere in my office I still have a cut out of a cartoon (from WSC, I think, but could have been a Chelsea fanzine) showing British infantrymen going over the top of a WW1 trench with the caption "Attractive football in attractive conditions, as Crystal Palace go over the top again at Selhurst Park". I think it was given to me by a somewhat aggrieved Chelsea-supporting work colleague ! |

That's the one, so dark and rainy it seemed to be night all day, the overriding memory being a couple of Palace fans pulling out and briefly spraying antiperspirant/body spray cans, I think, with the intention of using them as weapons

[*The actual stupid reason was I remembered the game in the Championship winning season when loads of Palace fans couldn't get in, and stupidly worried the same thing might happen]

I was at the 5-0 game at Oxford in 1984, but I don't remember it raining at all! I was very drunk though - quite a few of us walked to the ground from a pub near the station but didn't leave till about 2.30 and we all ended up getting there at half-time!

IIRC
The lock out was boxing day 1993 (ie halfway through 93/94 when we won the Championship under Alan Smith) We played there again on Boxing Day around the end of the 90s and it rained very hard all game which was doubly annoying as lots got there extra early due to the lock out about 5 years previous

Maybe this whole thread (including the title subject), should be put in 'Memory Lane' ?
