It could be a lot worse couldn’t it?

My mind went back to the 70s when they came to BP with Malcolm Allison in charge. He took the team to the Kingsway and they wouldn’t serve him dinner unless he went and put a tie on! He wore his fedora at the match but I think he sat in the stand, maybe it wouldn’t fit in the dug out or maybe it was his head that was too big.

They had just come down to Div 3 and led us for much of the game before we equalised and Jim Lumby got the winner. Palace had at least one sent off and Big Mal went ballistic.  I remember we had Keith Brown, another Nunsthorpe lad like Fordy, on the left wing and he might have got the other goal.

A game like that would make for a good day out.


Remember that game. Two Palace players and a Town player sent off (can't remember who)

Quoted from Perkins
Palace have a late ko against Wolves on the 2nd of Jan so a fair bet the game will be moved to Sunday.


Wouldn't we have to agree to that? I know what I'd say

Bit of a buddy for Akheem Rose, I just wonder if no one bothered checking up before he played for Boston in the FA Cup.

Don't think there is much cause for complaint is there? Just getting to the third round is a rarity for us and the prize money is way more this season than it has ever been. We are already past the £100,000 mark with two wins and some TV money, plus gate receipts to add in as well. We should get north of £200,000 i would have thought, even if we go no further than the third round. Very welcome income that we didn't budget for, and a tie against a Prem side, which doesn't happen very often for us. Yeah, there are more glamorous clubs we could have drawn, but there are far worse ties we could have got.

I see Lincoln keep getting the luck of the draw. Spawny feckers.

This draw reminds me of Middlesbrough away and Marc North.
Bernie Slaven had Boro ahead at half time, but A. B. had us playing great football and come back in 66 min and late winner meant that we kept in the quadrant  for 20 minutes until Middlesbrough fans had dispersed. Was that Reading 4th Round (win after replay Joblin scored at some point) and Wimbledon 5th round - Alexander with a haddock parade, but a flurry of 3 goals enabled Wimbledon to progress and win the cup. Could be wrong though. Probably.

The Palace view. They seem reasonable, mostly.

Went there when Malcolm Alison was manager, one Tuesday night. We parked up and went to the ground by rail. Still took us an hour to get back to the car!

Worst ground in London to get to, though it's well served by rail stations. Nothing much round it when you get there.
