DH and DS Palace season ticket holders, they’re on their way to Wembley. DD and I at home, I’ve not watched any of the previous matches so won’t start now, DD will and give me commentary.

it would mean so much if they could win, esp Joel Ward’s last match

EAGGGLLLLLESSSSSSSSSSS

I qas wondering why Super Alan Pardew didn't seem to be there, I hope he is ok.

Ah, I can finally feel proud to be Croydon born and bred 😆

Matchingcollarandcuffs · 17/05/2025 18:40

Yes @Cososom a whole new layer of stress and logistics. I am just so made up for Ward, sad he couldn’t play but he’s sp gracious

DP just suggested going for a pint...I think maybe not....

You could try the Oval or the Royal Standard in Sheldon Street? They're not football pubs (just make sure you don't take a wrong turn and end up in by the Bulls Head instead).

Matchingcollarandcuffs · 17/05/2025 18:34

It’s got to be hasn’t it ? Start at the Clocktower finish at Selhurst Park

When will it be?

BangersAndGnash · 17/05/2025 18:53

They’re playing Glad All Over ❤️🥲

Tomatotater · 17/05/2025 18:55

Looking at that crowd Croydon must be empty!

BotterMon · 17/05/2025 18:55

In bits? No. Delighted for Palace - absolutely.

shellyleppard · 17/05/2025 18:57

@Matchingcollarandcuffs that was a absolutely brilliant game....and I'm not normally a football fan!! Thank you for sharing the story, I really enjoyed it.

Yourinmyspot · 17/05/2025 18:58

Absolutely bloody brilliant well done Crystal Palace 😊

JSMill · 17/05/2025 19:00

Watching the joy of the Palace fans and players has really made my day! I think we all root for the underdog unless they are playing our team!

Spinachpastapicker · 17/05/2025 19:19

Well done Palace!

Brilliant!!! So pleased for my dd boyfriend. What a start to their holida. I’m thrilled 🤩

I hope he doesn’t miss his flight due to celebrating Grin

Does anyone know when they'll do the bus parade? I'd love to go back for it but live up north so need to plan!

dontcallmelen · 17/05/2025 19:59

My goodness that was tense, my part of Saaf East London is rocking

Bank holiday Monday apparently!

socks1107 · 17/05/2025 20:23

@Spinachpastapickerha ha I don’t think my daughter would let him!! He doesn’t drink so luckily celebrating without alcohol and the friend he’s at the match with is also going on the holiday.
looks like they’ll be home in time for the bus too - what a fab day!

Matchingcollarandcuffs · 17/05/2025 20:33

Hope they have a fab time @socks1107
