Only fools & horses - disillusioned

moggy · Nov 21, 2011

Being a fan of the series and watched each episodes countless times I always assumed the trotters were millwall fans.....that was until today!
In the very first episode being shown on BBC1 at the moment, straight after the Sidney Poitier sketch, dell leaves the front room to grab his coat from the hallway. As he removes the coat as bold as brass there lies a crystal palace scarf.
My love for the trotters has now diminished and I'm depressed

I think John Sullivan said in a Interview once, that they couldn't find an Millwall scarf before filming began. So they decided to shove a neutral scarf in the hallway.

But Rodney's middle name is Charlton, after Heston? No, Atheltic!

Braders · Nov 21, 2011

The Boys (well Dels )dad was Millwall and the Mum was Charlton - hence Rodneys middle name

*anorak*

It changes in many episodes I'm afraid.

In a Royal Flush Rodney talks about standing on the Shed end to watch Chelsea.....

Rather inconsistency than Palace though eh. In fact if there's no mention of palace like there are of millwall charlton and chelsea then we can assume that the palace scarf must have been left there by another, lesser, unlikeable character. A one episode character. Some kind of numpty. It only stands to reason, after all - Palace.

Maybe they picked it up as a trophy from the Palace fan they beat up after a match?

Wasn't John Sullivan the Palace fan, he's from Balham which is of course Palace territory.

Phat Baz 68 · Nov 21, 2011

NO NO NO !! They are Charlton fans hence Rodney having his middle name forced on him by his dad (Charlton) !!

Classic!

Rodney was a Chelsea fan though, no question.

"Do you have a box Rodney?"
Del "What does he need a box for, he's tall enough to see".

What a programme.

The things you learn on this esteemed board. I never knew that. I had always assumed Balham ( Gateway to the South) was CP land.

Slater must have been the Palarse fan, the horrible **** who no-one liked.

Rodders definitely had a season ticket in 'the shed' at Chelsea.
