Palace have finally made it

Yeah, surely they won’t renew the lease. I’ve been in there a couple of times with my kids. When you ask them for something, they say you’d be better off going to the club shop at the ground.
Charlton opened one in blue water when they got promoted.
They’ve got Rangers and Celtic ones at Glasgow airport that probably do well. But club shops in shoppping centres aren’t any good surely.

The one in Centrale (the old Drummond Centre) does well. Often busy in there and there has actually been a couple of occasions where something I couldn’t get in Selhurst Park I was able to get in Centrale.
 
I know we are at home for this one, but this was on the billboard at Streatham Hill station and made me smile.

I guess there's a Palace fan somewhere in the BA marketing dept.

While we was reaking havoc outside Victoria station before the 1997 play off final, a few Argentinian tourists stopped and asked us what was going on and we said it’s a football match, we’re Crystal Palace fans, they looked at us a bit like who?! Then one of them said ‘ah yes, Buckingham Palace!!’
Bloody foreigners🤣 I bet the world knows who we are now

I suppose it works the other way as well, back in the day I used to look forward to world cups to see the great Brazilian players because it was the only time we see them. But now most of them are playing in the premier league or the champions league and we know them all so that intrigue has gone before the World Cup
Probably why Brazil are nothing like they used to be, they all get europeanised, the flair’s drummed out of them with a head full of tactics

Yes, you can now buy our home, away and gold shirts in JD sports in the airport. I think they even had the retro shirts in there too

Interesting thought. Like you, I used to love waiting to see the Brazilians at World Cups, wondering who the new football wizard was and what tricks he'd perform. Gone are those days, though.

The world cup has never been the same since the TV pictures and sound have become really clear.

I miss the days when it was a bit fuzzy, and the commentator sounded like they were speaking from inside a cardboard box. It really felt like it was coming from the other side of the world back then.

Watch it on TNT and you'll get a nostalgic experience.

You’re right, those were the days😃 as I said before the intrigue has gone now as well as we know all the players from far flung corners of the world because most of them are playing in the premier league and/or the champions league

Ah yes! The days when I was utterly convinced I should be a scout for Palace.

"Hello, Palace? Yeah, I'm a big fan and have just unearthed a gem for us... turn on ITV!"
