It’s funny really, we go to 20 odd home games in 9 months give or take depending on cup games. Well you wouldn’t go to the same s*** restaurant 20 times in 9 months or go to the cinema and watch the same s*** film 20 times in 9 months. Or the same s*** gig 20 times, yet we still keep going back to palace game after game, year after year🤣

I have been inflicted with this dastardly condition since the 60s!

So have I, however it is not as 'Axminster' thick as it one was. 😊
Furthermore, it is no longer subjected to Silvikrin oil or Brylcreem.

I know what you mean, not quite as thick on top for me either……apart from the blood pressure pills I take, I’m not doing bad for 50 years supporting palace I suppose

We must be all glutton for punishment 🤣
 
I suspect a number of us just refused to be plastic supporters of one of the so-called big clubs. Coming from an army family which spent most of my first 18 years overseas, the first club I vaguely followed was the nearest top division club to my grandparents, Sheffield Wednesday. When we finally returned to England and I was at college in Derbyshire I went to a few of Cloughie's Derby County games.

I started supporting Palace when I first went to London as a young man to work. I could have chosen one of the bigger clubs but, somehow, I got hooked on Allison's rapidly falling down the divisions Palace. That's life as they say.

Growing up between Palace and Millwall and processing opposable thumbs and the ability to walk upright made the choice more than easy.

I was the same, I admit I wanted to go Millwall at first, but my dad said “they’re mad bastards you’re not going there, jump on the bus and go palace” …….he never did like me!! 🤣
