I went 83-84 as well massive snowstorm when we were 2-0 up thought the game was going to be abandoned ten minutes later it was like it never happened. I remember their firm of about 20 giving it the large at the stand to the left.

I thought it was snowing when there centre back scored from over twenty yards in the top corner,  down our end? We also played with a white ball!

Great support in the background! It was tough seeing this pen from the other end. Look at the usually bad baseball ground surface!!

Palace away 1990 my mate drove us in his first ever car I sent him the picture on Whatsapp he doesn't remember the game or the car oh well that's age for you 😁. Ian Wright scored a blinder and it seems Bates and Noades fiddled the crowd numbers cause it was packed and more than 27,000 which was the official attendance.

Same game yeah fighting with Andy Gray.

Thanks to the regulars who continually amaze me with fantastic images on here. Much appreciated .

Early game for Erland Johnson, had a mare and was at fault for the winner I think. A chip over Beseant by Ian Wright? Half the homesdale  and half the terrace and seats in the Arthur Wait stand. With the crowd we always took that ground over up until all seater. They would rather leave seats empty than sell to opposition

Funny Palace, there home support now a days is held up as  one of the best in league, not so sure myself, as I’ve been there numerous times over the years, recent and past and never thought it up to much.

@Scott I saw a copy of the picture on Facebook. Possibly posted by the same person. Great picture that you posted. Here's one of my favourite pictures from the match.

As mentioned before I knew a guy who was at the game. He bunked off school to go to the match.

First Chelsea goal announced on the scoreboard 1979.   Can I point posters to the 1975-76 thread I started I was going to post them here but thought they needed a separate thread really good and interesting pics.

 

Not sure if posted before. Full Members Cup final.

A few articles regarding our exploits. Greenaway said he was stitched up but to be honest giving an interview about football violence and your part in it the press aren't going to paint you in a good light. The Cambridge one absolute Wayne Kerr's picking on innocent Chelsea fans it was revenge for 1982 when he took the place over.

I wonder how many got injured that day ?

It would be a miracle if no one was hurt you would think ?

I honestly never saw Mick throw a punch in his life. He was respected , but we never regarded him as a hooligan.. he used to wear  a brown suit ffs !

Think that article cost Mick his job ?

can't believe he was daft enough to give an interview like thst, although the word was that he got stiched up. Dunno, stupid either way

Someone posted these on Twitter can't remember his name who posted them great pictures and a reminder how far from the far goal you were when your at the back of the Shed.
