[Palace] Holmsdale Fanatics trip to Henfield

[Muzzman]

I live in Seaford and I’ve never seen this. Sounds like great fun.

I’ve been in Seaford a couple of years and haven’t seen any of the unwashed in these parts either.

One of our homes games v Palace an official Palace van pulled into Tesco car park Uckfield a few hours before KO, and two lads went in and purchased some items. 100% official staff but I couldn't work out how they got to Uckfield. Tempted to let their tyres down but wifey said no.

From their training ground driving down the A22 works as saves trying to get through Croydon and Purley on a Saturday.

My daughter lives in Henfield high street. Apparently, drunken, underage yoof rampaging through a Sussex backwater does not feature highly on her daily gossip....she has got the recollection of Dory, mind

Nothing like showing how hard you are by mobbing up in a pub 12 miles away from any of your rival fans.

The non-spotty, black anorak wearing, wannabe ultra palace fans tend to avoid drinking in Brighton. Over the years the Shore Bar in Seaford and Dinkum Pub in Polegate have been a pre-match watering hole.

They stay at the East Sussex National - a lot of away teams do. Ps - Should have let them down still.

There are a fair few Palace living in Seaford….Don’t blame them moving away from Croydon and South London
One home match in the early years at the Amex the police closed all the Seaford pubs in the afternoon before the evening match v Palace.
One pub landlord had invited a coach or minibus full of their fans to his pub, I heard they weren’t hooligan types, and not sure exactly why the other pubs got closed.

Only just found out about this. Apparently a minibus with about 15/20 boys in black from Croydon, stopped off in Henfield a couple of Fridays back, not a clue why. Shop doors locked as they messed things up in the larger and smaller supermarket.
Seems a pointless exercise, unless anyone knows different?

Well they can run amok in Budgens if they so desire, shortly to close and be taken over by Sainsbury's. The staff won't care, many of them aren't being taken on by the new owners allegedly.

I suggest that we encourage them all to meet-up at The Shore in Seaford and have a good old knees-up…..

Ah, I remember when it was Tobitts.

Crikey you must be really going back.

My father's family go way way back in Henfield. My grandfather was a baker in Cruttendens before and after WW1.

Very interesting, we could have done with interviewing you when we were putting together our local village history society some years ago, Cowfold is only up the road and you might have had a few memories of those long lost times..

I know Cowfold too. My cousin and his wife lived in the flat at Long House. My great grandparents came from Twineham.

You have me intrigued now.

I remember happy times at the Wheatsheaf and some cracking steak suppers. Not been for yonks but it seems it has gone all haloumi and polenta chips now.

And there used to be a cracking tea rooms in Cowfold. Tea and scones. Mmmmmmmm. yums

Now a decidedly second rate Indian restaurant sadly.

You backed Palace against us back in the day. Any other stuff you have made up recently? A few years back
