blahblahblah 2 Posted June 19, 2013 well, they are both bank holidays, so on those days it''s probably easier to send norwich fans into london on the bus replacement service than it is to try to get them to manchester or the midlands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,655 Posted June 19, 2013 That fixture was nailed on like night follows day. Limited or no public transport on New Years Day makes this a trip from hell. [:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spencer 1970 203 Posted June 19, 2013 I live in South London so not the worst option by any stretch but why do we always play there when its fookin freezing?! I even remember a game in spring when it was so windy the stand nearly blew down. A young Shackell played left back and every time he attempted to play it down the line it went out for a throw in.

Carved a decent career. Selhurst is a ducking fump. Doesn''t matter when you visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,156 Posted June 19, 2013 Anyone else remember that Adrian Forbes incident when he was feigning injury then shot up to make a clearance before falling back down ? I think that was a New Year game at Palace although that''s all I remember about it, except we lost.Sadly this year I''m going to be away at New Year so will have to miss this one and the next game.
