    [Football] The rivalry with Palace

    Not so sure the several thousand i think could have been 2500, i recall 130 of us walking on to an already busy platform at hh and then a train pulls in pretty rammed,trying to get off the station at Croydon i reckon 800 odd just at that time,very difficult to count the numbers as when you are...

    [Football] The rivalry with Palace

    I think alot of none hoolies were among those thousands that walked from croydon to selhurst so would account for wearing colours,also a few of the so called top boys would be wearing the oppositions scarves making it pretty confusing,recall the scarf with a thick blue bars and smaller white bar...

    Tuesday will be nothing like days gone past maybe a few handbags but due to the restrictions in place It will go down as a non event off the pitch.

    Quite a honest account below which shows the extent of the rivalry,have different memories of that day but they match the account below from a different perspective. I think we are lucky that those days are in the past and hyping the rivalry up is not a very good idea:moo: The Seagulleater...
