It’s a shame there isn’t a better picture of our way support. We had the whole of the Homesdale that day, with palace down the Sainsburys end. We also had the seats in the Arthur Waite stand behind the side terrace of palace.

We had around 15,000 there, Palace were averaging 5,000 and it was Officially around 19,000 although I would say more were there. I was in the seats which was brilliant and the sight of the terrace was brilliant, just like the bit you can see in the pictures above

Hopefully the second picture is of our away support that day in 1984 at Selhurst Park.

The original caption isn't specific about game or date. It simply states 'Selhurst Park 1980s.'

If not, it would probably give a good indication of our support that day.

Hope this helps mate.

I've always liked those images of the old stadium,terrific

Makes you wonder why it's so difficult to build a big stadium when you look at them.

Another one of 'Wee Pat' v Palace away in April 1984.

Sorry ,it doesn't show our support.

Well not much anyway !

Not sure when this photo was taken. Unless my eyes are playing tricks I can't see the Oswald Stoll Mansions which were opened in 1916. So between 1905 and 1916.

Good shout ! And picture.

Trade unions operated a variety of sporting and social clubs for their members.'

Looks like palace red and blue colours in that picture. You are right about how it would’ve looked, someone else’s home end full of Chelsea!!

I agree  with you Richard it looks like a Palace promotion party or something. There's far too many scarfs no one wore them in 84 and it was absolutely sweltering my mate had to sit down on the terraces at half time and we spent most of the second half propping him up. Also after 36 years I'm sure that photo would have come to light before we've all seen the Pat Nevin one before but never any others.

I wish Hugh Hastings had taking more pictures of us fans back in the day. Would have been great to show younger fans and other clubs fans how unbelievable our numbers were back then.
