Inspired by a couple of posts in another thread....

It's time to own up. Who here has any Brighton and Palace connections in their family?

My brother-in-law is a Palace fan. Worse still, he married my sister on the day we were beaten 0-1 at Palace, March '86

I also have a Palace-supporting Brother-in-Law, which is especially bizarre given that we both live about a mile apart... in Wolverhampton!

I have a family member who is signed to Palace and played the 2011-12 season and is now on loan to another club in the Championship which seems to like beating us on our home turf most of the time!

It kinda sucks as he should really come play for us!!

Yup. Have a Palarse supporting cousin who once drove me round Smellhurst Park several times in a car that I could not get out of! GIT!

Not related, but my best mate and family are all Palace. I was best man at his wedding and was tempted to strip off to full kit just before I started. To be honest a riot probably would've occurred - they're terrifying.

What went wrong there? Didn't you give him enough pocket money when he was a kid?

A bloke I know is a Sussex based Palace fan, he's never lived anywhere near Croydon or South London, his dad told me he took him to see BHA play when he was a kid but he didn't like the big crowds.

My dad's side of the family are all palace supporters. If they hadn't given away free tickets in assembly at Summerhill I could have ended up the same way.

My grandfather was a Palace season-ticket holder. House in Norbury overlooking the park.

Fortunately the abberation was on my mother's side, so there was thankfully little chance of my old man saying, "Be a Palace fan".
