Until recently I worked at the Home Office in Croydon. A heady mix of fans. I would say mostly Charlton, followed by Palace then more than a smattering of Millwall. They are not well liked down there either!!
According to their website site they started in a hamlet called Forest Green and amalgamated with Nailsworth later
A bit like an early MK Dons scenario but at least they didn't move across country like the Old Wimbledon did. I wonder how the old Nailsworth FC supporters felt when those upstarts from the Green turned up?
Electoral ward. It was a contentious point on the London A-Z. Nobody who lives that way identify as Crystal Palace. That was a recent political boundary. Nothing to do with the area, unless you’re a Palace fan or into defunct Victorian glass houses.
The dinosaurs are ace. Very inaccurate victorian representation. Saw them as a child with my Auntie Jean & Uncle John.
ive just looked at newcastle early 80's with the blue star, yet when we beat them 1 nil at home it was just straight black and white stripes no star ?
Was televised, so no sponsor permitted on the shirt. Our shirts were missing the Hayselden sponsor too.
