[Football] Recommendations for a pre-match day-out in Croydon?

Beats folding up your clappers

We don't have clappers... You however have a drum and a bloke with a megaphone...We create an atmosphere not manufacture one. Thank god we are BHA

If you've got a few minutes spare, how about some retail therapy?

This sartorial elegance will both create and enhance that confident, intelligent and sophisticated man-about-town look.

The Croydon rubbish tip is always good for a visit, gets you in the zone for when you enter Selhurst Park.

Ask Sharon Lacey (Director of Operations) to show you around the ground, she would appear to be something of an expert.

corrugated iron is a new one on me.

This was the only reason for ever going to Croydon.

You famously had clappers at the play off semi in an attempt to manufacture an atmosphere for a game you had already won judging by the hotel bookings that had to be cancelled

We manage an atmosphere home and away, with or without drums and megaphones

Thank God you are BHA

Bit different, You already have a stadium and arguing over a sliver of land. You have the plans in place and work was starting in 2018? Smoke and mirrors, ring any bells?

But without that sliver of land we cant develop the ground. Work cant start until that is resolved. In 2018, it wasn't going to be a problem, then Sainsburys saw an opportunity to hold us to ransom, and decided the sliver was worth way more than they originally thought.
Remind me again how long it was between the Goldstone and the Amex?

What has the away section got to do with your new stand?

It's the main stand Palace have replaced isn't it, not the Arthur Wait?

Looking forward to seeing it in all its' glory tonight.

Its a view of an old fashioned football ground that you will be getting, from an old fashioned stand. Make sure you bring your cushions, as there are no padded seats here, just cheap plastic ones. Its apparently one of the worst away days in the country, and really difficult to get to, but its ours, and we love it and its quirkiness

I’ve always liked Sainsbury’s.
That said, you cannot polish a turd, you can only roll it in glitter.

More Palace lies... you take the drum to away games and you have to manufacture an atmosphere at home.... Your so called atmosphere is the biggest myth in football.

I know exactly what it is - and I don't think we'll be sitting down so won't need cushions - thanks for the advice anyway.

BTW I've probably been to Selhurst more times than you have.

Palace had clappers on multiple occasions before we went down that strange road (before your time as wasn't in PL). Palace ran Groupon deals for years to temp fans in. Goal music, goal scorer call and response. A drum FFS!! Creating an ultra group to deal with the total lack of atmosphere and interest, hiring goons in from spurs to go woah woah. Handing said hired ultras whatever seats they wanted after they went on the most massive flounce seen from a 'support base'. That is some rap sheet before getting onto changing club colours to look like Barcelona and changing the nickname to something completely irrelevant to the club because someone thought it sounded cool.

You follow the most tin pot and irrelevant club in the league, continually trying to find an identity. You should keep your head down re atmosphere and clappers

I have heard that the Primark store is the highlight.

That's where the Always Ultras go with their mums to buy their black hoodies before term starts again...

I thought I'd give you all an update on my day out in Croydon.

In a nutshell there is nothing to see or do. There is however at least three McDonalds and three Wetherspoons, oh and a lot of flyovers. There also seems to be a lot of 15 year old girls pushing prams.

End of report.

Best day out in the Selhurst area is to go to Brick Lane, Camden or Brixton.

Best local hostelry to Smellhurst is Carshalton Royal Infirmary.
