Wow my heart aches a little. Slightly OT, but if you're every around Croydon cemetery there is a dedicated memorial to the boys and 2 teachers that died.

I don’t get what draws these foreign supporters groups who haven’t that connection to a club. They meet up in pubs at strange hours to watch the games, okay it must be a good social thing, but why palace?

I would think as well as directly around selhurst the majority of our supporters will come from the south side as it's always been the biggest club in the vicinity
