[Albion] Best Ever Away Support at Palace

[amexer]

Are you mixing that up with the game in August 1974 when Ian Mellor scored late on? I think I saw every Palace game that Ward played in and don't remember him scoring any late winners.

I bow down to your better memory if that was game we were outplayed and got late winner. I do remember in those days Jim Cannon was one of few defenders who most of time got better of Peter Ward

I remember an all-ticket game at the Goldstone where they had the whole of the South Stand. Would that have been late 70s? And wouldn't that have been around 5000?

That could only have been the FA Cup 1st round match (20th November 1976, 2-2) as the season ticket holders wouldn't be denied their seats for a league match. I don't remember seeing any Palace in the South Stand that day.

Even at Stamford Bridge in 1976 it seemed that we had more fans there than Palarse We had the Shed end which was crammed but their end seemed a lot less full.

Palace were given the South Stand terrace for the game on 24th February 1976, which the Albion won 2-0. I don’t think that terrace held 5000.

That would have been 33k in the ground smoke bombs from the southstand and 2 Sammy Morgan goals and a right tear up after the game

I've been to Selhurst twice, the 5-0 loss and the 1-0 McShane game. Atmosphere for the 1-0 McShane game was insane. When we scored I got carried down from the back of the stand to a massive bundle at the bottom of the stairs without my feet touching the ground. Still think it is the best atmosphere I've ever experienced at any game. Never bothered going since then because I hate being treated like an animal by the local constabulary.

Exactly the same story and games as me! Although I didn’t get carried but remember standing on a wall at the end giving it large!

Must have been to Selhurst about 15 times. Wimbledon v Leeds early 70's about 45k 6/7 Brighton games Swindon v Gillingham and 6 odd Palace games.Been in every side. Even watch Palace away at whu.

I remember that there were quite a few BHA fans who went to the Wim vs Leeds FA cup game.

Do you remember, was that an all-ticket game?
