They were both draws BG, 2-2 at Selhurst on Good Friday, 1-1 at the Goldstone on Easter Monday
The following Saturday The Albion beat Reading 8 - 3 at The Goldstone

That was the games. With many good old names like Eric Gill, Des Tennant, Albert Munday Frankie Howard to name just a few. Remember a couple of years after that we had a winger from Arsenal Mike Tiddy who was a lay preacher and wouldnt play on Good Friday.

Can't remember exactly maybe someone can remember this game. I would say circa early 90's with Palace winning the game and getting promotion that season. I seem to remember them scoring late on in the game too.

74 when Mellor scored in that 1-0 win. Kicked off everywhere and loved it ever since. This game and all that goes with it.

Kicked off, but many say we weren't enemies then!

Had the rivalry started?

We weren't. But they came down in numbers to their first visit to the 3rd tier for some time and adopted the sort of attitude that we adopt when we've been to Aldershot, Southend and Orient. You know ? Lording it over them pre-match but the difference was that once our fans had taken stock it became a right old ding dong. There has always been two battles between the clubs whether you like it or not and tomorrow might be a bit quieter because of the early kick off but the fans have made this fixture what it is..... Not the players.

Mine was 74 too and only the real Senior guys can go beyound that because the previous was in the early 60's.

In the main, we've had better results when we think we don't have a chance and have pulled off a couple of fine 1-0's at Smelhurst when we were rank outsiders. yet, when we've felt confident & bound to win (like home last year) it's all gone wrong.

Maybe that's a little omen for us.

That was the name of the cup that is now JPT
There used to be a song that i can't quite remember the start
.......... can kiss my arse, we are in the ZDS at last

Nope ZDS cup or Full Members Cup as it was als known was the competition for Div's 1 and 2

The JPT cup also known as the Associate members cup is the competition for the bottom 2 Divisions. Known as many cups over the years ie LDV cup, Leyland DAF cup, Auto Windscreens to name a few.

Thanks for info
Now remember the song as it would have been the season after we were promoted from the 3rd tier to the 2nd tier
Leyland DAF (or auto windscreens) can kiss my arse, we are in the ZDS at last
