i wonder did he used to actually go all the way along the ellerslie road stand then,i knew he used to go all around the ground on the terraces but of course back in the day there was only one stand which was the ellerslie

the second stand the south africa road stand was built in 68-69

but before then there was only one place to sit,which was the ellerslie road

Ah the memories - what about half time scores back in the good old days.
There would be matches listed from A to Z at the back of the programme, and at the break this guy used to put each letter and score up individually. For example, ‘A’ might be Arsenal against Portsmouth, so he’d put up the number one, followed by a zero and so on for each match – it was all done in slow motion, but that would be the first we knew of the other scores.
It will sound really dull to the youngsters of today but to us, that was proper exciting :drunk:

I remember watching the bloke put the "scores" up on the pre-historic scoreboard.
Also remember the peanut seller, think he was still doing the loft in the mid-eighties.
And just about remember sitting with my dad and uncle in the old Ellerslie Rd stand, just before they pulled it down and put up the present one.

my ol man-sheepshin coat-young lad tagging out of said coat-looking at the programme with lemonade and crisps in the smuts-walking up the stairs into the bright lights of a night game v the arsenal 1976/77 season-was totally blown away. still have the programme(framed in my boys room!!!)

My school used to get free tickets for Palace , so we`d all travel the short journey to Selhurst Park for matches. I came home with a Red and Blue scarf, and that was it ...
My Dad decided there and then ,enough was enough ,he stopped going to Rangers with his mates and started taking me instead...
First game was October 1981 against Blackburn in the 2nd div (we won 2.0) , but it was the next game he took me to ( i think against Shrewsbury Town) later that season that I new i`d fallen in love , because i remember my teeth were chattering with excitement walking across Wormholt park (after leaving my Aunties house in Bryonny ? rd) on the way to the match . Getting the bus to the other side of Croydon to watch Palace was no comparison to going on the tube to Shepherds Bush to watch Rangers, at the time it seemed so exciting and exotic ,and it still does...........

T'was one fateful Saturday in March '76 when I walked up the steps of SA road stand and first laid eyes upon our esteemed and hallowed turf that is Loftus Road. That was the magical moment as the size of the pitch was so awe-inspiring for that young lad. Then to witness his new found heroes of Bowles, Francis, Thomas, Masson, Clement, Parkes, Webb, McClintock, Givens, Hollins, Gillard in blue and white hoops run out on the pitch and beat Tony Book's Man City is what sealed it off.
