Even better at sea.

Not the same is it really, accident or insurance scam, as opposed to full wanton destruction of your own town...

There was a rumour that had something to do with the Palace Pier

Wow thanks for the tips so far; I didn't know Croydon was such a cultural hot-spot. I've heard The Whitgift Centre is also lovely...

I have heard that the Primark store is the highlight.

Hmmmmm...

Not sure that list is very enticing to be honest...

I see the "visit Notting Hill" at the bottom of the page, has one of mates in the picture, who lives and is from Camden, Choppy on the double bass.

before you do, make sure it is open, as it delayed it's opening due to a "classy drunk"

Croydon Spaceport is worth a look. (Check that it's not a launch day though - can get busy)

If you're into extreme sports, there's a pre-match Croydon parachuting experience.*

What relevance is this to CPFC ?
Was the rioting and looting organised by the HF ?

My recommendation for having a pre match day out in Croydon?

Don't have a pre match day out in Croydon

Think SAS. Get in. Get out

This ... it is the only sensible option and my mantra!

Good point. I imagine they were all too busy at drum practice or crayoning things onto bog roll for some real action.

Remind me how long it took after you left the Goldstone to get the Amex fit to play in. Didnt planning permission and compulsory purchase problems affect you for years? Sainsburys playing hardball over a small patch of land that has no value to them is the delay. Hope you enjoy the away fans section of the Arthur Wait stand tonight

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.

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?

Spotty teenagers who like to like to wear black, bang on a drum whilst using a megaphone. (Holmedale Fanatics )

That all depends on what Megaphone man told them to do.....

He shouts on his megaphone, all you sheep copy him... bless
