ANY PALACE FANS?

At the court house I met this Crystal Palace older fellow. So we talked football. Told him I was from Perú, and the expression on the dude's face changed immediately.

The older dude was full of nostalgia. He said his team used to wear a kit similar to Perú back in the days. I said you mean "the red sash"?. "YES! THAT'S IT!" he said.

He'd love for his team to wear such kit again. According to him Crystal Palace played their best with the sash.

What were you doing in court?

You told the taxman you won £100k on the football pools but then didnt pay your taxes?

One of the worst stadiums going is Selhurst Park.

It is pretty bad.

3 sides of Selhurst Park is "Ugh" - the "new" stand, which is also about a decade old is also showing its wear & tear.

I remember when Palace wore the all white kit with the blue & red sash - it was either that or yellow shirts & sky blue shorts & socks as the changed kit.

Was always a sympathiser of theirs, before Simon Jordan became chairman. What an orange prat.

Same here. And I agree with everyone else on here, horrible stadium.

Urgh have you BEEN to the away section!?

Wooden seats, Cr@p view, random $h!t blocking your sight - but a 2-0 away win makes it all worthwhile - but thats another story

One word for Selhurt Park:

Grim.

Once as an impressionable 12 year old vs. Wimbledon in the league cup Semi 2nd leg. Steffen Iversen scored a 30-yard cracker to win it for us.

You can get a very good atmosphere going at shite grounds it has to be said

Portsmouth, for example.

speaking of which

anyone noticed what Fratton Park spells backwards?

Very good.

Its just about the one thing we Saints fans are clinging to at the moment, oh and the fact that we aren't QUITE bottom of the table now.

China ex-international Fan Zhiyi was once the captain.

Thanks for the link Frank! Yes, the one from '76-'77 looks awesome. Also the one from '80-'83 looks great although it'd look better with RED stripes instead of blue. The strip Palace wear nowadays is awful.
