It’s still f great isn’t it. Just had to say it.
I remember the energy of the home game, the away fans felt a whole other level of what we were used too..Interestingly Samsunspor are listed as a qualifier for the play off for Europa League - one stage before league phase. That'd one for the trivia buffs as a first game, hopefully at Selhurst as away leg was dicey!!View attachment 1273
I remember the home game as being a boiling hot day. I couldn't get the usual seats so sat in the front row of the Lower Holmesdale in the blazing sun. It seemed that they (Samsunspor) were well up for it and super fit and we had just returned for pre-season. It was still a great day out!I remember the energy of the home game, the away fans felt a whole other level of what we were used too..
I remember it well, was so gutted we lost. But i also remember they were so much better than us on the day. More a pre season friendly for the Palace team at the time. Hope we can right that wrong next season!!!!I remember the home game as being a boiling hot day. I couldn't get the usual seats so sat in the front row of the Lower Holmesdale in the blazing sun.

We will get to the Euros, this is just fat Greeks trying to get through which they won't. (Apologies to anyone reading this who are trying to wear off the Xmas pud)Apologies but I still don't think it has sank in properly for me.
I'm struggling to accept it as a reality.
The Holmesdale was shut for that match .The club didn't expect that many fans to turn up for a game in the middle of the summer holidays so only opened the Main stand for home fans . The Whitehorse was opened for the away fans of which there were many , it was suggested at the time that every Kebab shop in South London had closed for the dayI remember the home game as being a boiling hot day.

I’d been asking where was Freedman. He deserved a lot of credit for this achievement, great to see him sharing the moment as well. What an incredible momentOn the Palace app there is 'Access All Areas' video for those who want to relive the day.
This takes in some marvellous footage from pre match through to the post match celebrations.
I hadn't realised that Freedman was at the match and it was good to see the players celebrate with him as he has been an important part of the story.
There's some teasing of Kamada who is dressed in his suit and ready to go home before the celebrations have even started.
Of course winning a Cup Final helps, but there does seem to be a genuine bond between the players.
Agreed!! Freedman’s a legend for finding us Daniel Munoz alone in my eyes 😎I’d been asking where was Freedman. He deserved a lot of credit for this achievement, great to see him sharing the moment as well. What an incredible moment
