This seemed like a nice away day for just after Christmas, and Palace fans have a bit of a reputation which I was curious to see for myself.
Got the train for this one (reluctantly)! Went to London Bridge and then there is a direct train to Norwood Junction, and from there the ground is a very short walk. Easy to get away, there wasn’t even a crazy number of fans at the station.
We went to a BBQ restaurant in central London called Bodean’s. Probably not somewhere common for away fans, or particularly convenient, but if you have a long change at London Bridge it was very good.
The concourse here is very weird, and there isn’t much shelter so if it is raining I might avoid leaving my seat at half time, however we just got drinks which from what I remember were typical football prices.
I was right on the edge so it wasn’t too great but could see all of the pitch, which is more than my friend who was sat near the back could say! Most of it is fine but because it is an older ground there are some thin pillars and at the back the restricted view seats are apparently very bad.
I was a little bit disappointed, maybe it was because Palace walked all over us, but apart from a few loud fans in the middle behind the goal further from the away fans it wasn’t as loud as I had expected. Atmosphere in the away end turned very sour as we were 3-0 down by half time!
7/10 – no issues but didn’t really talk to any of them.
Pretty good for a London game, I think we were on the first train away from the station that football fans were able to make so not too much congestion at all.
£60ish, fairly reasonable for a London game. Railcards really help for the away games.
It is a nice old fashioned ground, nothing much nearby but London games are always nice.
I travel to as many Everton away games south of Birmingham as I can as I’m based down here. Palace is the nearest. I thought we’d win…
By train – very easy although I made the mistake of being in the wrong carriage so couldn’t alight at Norwood Junction due to the short platform! Doh!
The Prince George – the atmosphere was great in expectation of a wonderful win for the blues…I should’ve stayed in there.
Home made Scouse pie! Excellent value – I made it myself!
The beer inside the stadium was wet and cold and did the job as an anaesthetic to the dour display by Benitez boys! Grrr!
We had good seats for a change here. The guys at the back get a bad deal but our seats were half way down and good.
Palace fans always provide a great atmosphere – they’re the best I’ve experienced at their own ground. Our end was good to start with but gradually disintegrated as the team lost its way – again. Unlike at Brentford though the players got a decent reception at the end – the ire was reserved for Benitez. He’s killing us.
10/10 – I know a lot of Palace fans and they’re good footy fans.
Easy, but spoiled my day by ranting at fellow blues fans on the Northbound platform. I really should learn to keep my thoughts to myself when I’ve had a few!
£30 ticket, £20 train, hundreds on the ale.. (probably around £40 in truth)
Yes – Palace is a great day out ruined by a game of football (from my point of view). I’ve been Palace games as a neutral as a guest of a mate and it’s a great atmosphere.
We should have had a penalty but didn’t deserve anything from the game.
