What was the biggest CPFC > Albion points gap this season?

[Bozza]

Does anyone have it to hand?

I clearly recall some of that lording it excessively in the belief that there was no way on earth we would bridge that gap. Yet, despite us not really hitting any sort of consistent winning streak, we've done just that (in case you'd not noticed).

 

[The Grockle]

15 points?

 

[shaolinpunk]

I think it was 10.

 

[Triggaaar]

9 (same games played) - 10 (we had a game in hand)

They still have a game in hand over us, this thing ain't over yet.

 

[Bozza]

this thing ain't over yet.

Oh, I agree with that sentiment entirely.

But many of them really DID believe they were untouchable this season in terms of who finished higher in the table.

Here's one, ask him!

 

[Seagulls Downunder]

15 points?

From memory I think this is the correct answer.

 

[Triggaaar]

Like our friend Blue

This belongs on the main board:
we should be embarrassed

From memory I think this is the correct answer.

It's not

 

[The Grockle]

Could be wrong but think it was, remember loads of Palace fans giving me crap about it.

 

[Tooting Gull]

If we're doing this and for extra fun...what was the highest number of league places between us going back 15 years or so? Pretty sure they were in the Prem one season we were near bottom of League Two.

Taken a while to reel 'em in, but it was always going to happen.

 

[Alan Cundle]

It was 9 points (when the same amount of games were played - might have been more if we had games in hand?).

Kept a table, which won't look good on here but hay ho

1997/8. Not a season most Palace fans treasure though, we were well tailed off after Venables and a weird Lombardo?brolin management team made us unwinnable.

 

[shaolinpunk]

The 'as it stood' table on this report from the 3-0 win over Ipswich shows us as 10 points behind, albeit with a game in hand

BBC Sport - Ipswich 0-3 Brighton

 

[Triggaaar]

It was 9 points (when the same amount of games were played - might have been more if we had games in hand?).

Like I said:

9 (same games played) - 10 (we had a game in hand)

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

What has happened to all our Palace trolls now there isn't a gap ?

Wow, we were 10 points behind Middlesboro too

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I have a £10 a point per season bet with a Palace fan, trust me I think it was 15 at one point?

We were 9 points behind them as recently as the morning of one month ago today!!(I think?) - In that time we have only won 2 games (including the game that day).

 

[TheMajor]

They fell down it - 10 points it was TEN I tell yer !

 

[Se20]

Bozza , can you clarify that in the unlikely event of Palace reaching the play offs, and , heaven forbid, turn over the mighty seagulls, that Palace posters won't be confined to one thread ?
Thanks in advance .
