Things you used to see or hear at football, but no longer do.
I was flicking through some old Palace programmes the other day, and noticed (and remembered) on the team sheet when describing the colours, they used to call the shorts "knickers", and the socks were called "stockings". I'm not sure when this quaint phraseology stopped, but it did occur to me there were loads of things we used to see or hear at footie matches that are now a thing of the past.
From knickers to peatnut sellers! What else can you remember that has disappeared from a day out at Selhurst? |

The old A-Z boards around the ground which used to show the half time scores from other games.

A proper clock on the roof on the New Stand.
Terracing. 'Give us a "P", give us an "A" ... what have you got? etc' Fake programme sellers around Selhurst. Scarves tied round the wrist, Football rattles? |

Not see or hear but ... urinate against the Holmesdale Road wall at half time in the absence of adequate toilet facilities.
See .... half time collections by the likes of the St John's Ambulance Brigade carrying blankets around the pitch into which the crowd would be invited to throw their spare change. |

We used not to see people spitting.
We used to hear humorous chanting as opposed to " the referee's a w..ker " all the time.

Plus all goalkeepers to do a John Burridge-style warm-up before the game.

Also remember the old powder blue hooli-van in the corner between the Whitehorse and AW Enclosure The Reverend and the African Prince/King/Tribal Leader (was a director I believe) who were always in our programmes. Last edited by LeeH; 26-11-2007 at 04:25 PM. |

Also the letters to show international duty
e - U21/U23 E - Full International. At one point Palace's team was almost entirely made up of es or Es. Although I'd be interested to hear about Jimmy Murphy's RoI caps..
