There's a reduced allocation for this because of building works. Gone for block T as the stuff at the back is dire for a view.

Its a shit ground full stop. And I think there's a train strike that day as well - making a tough journey even worse.

Bear in mind you won't be able to see all of the pitch, even if you're standing up

Don't think I've been to see us there since the 90s - can't remember much!

Would still love to go if anyone can get a ticket they cant use - it's my 2nd nearest ground and birthday weekend  ;)

Still not as bad as Woodison, Anfailed, Bournemouth or Bellend Road - completely overstated in my opinion the away pen at Palace

If I remember the biggest blockage was that idiot with the cardboard cut out - must have been shouted at by at least a dozen people

Was on 5th row last year, couldn't see the left near side quadrant of the pitch, I genuinely think they've managed to build a stadium which makes it impossible to see all of the pitch, mathematically I think that takes some doing

Hi.  Has anyone travelled to Palace by car?  Where is best to park?
Title: Re: Palace away

There are 4 returns showing as available on the website if anyone is still looking.

Have always thought that this was the worst away trip .Crap journey, crap parking, crap pubs, crap ground, crap fans with an inflated view of their level of support(although their away support isn't bad) and we hardly ever win. What's not to like?

I went last season. It was fucking brilliant. Don't let a little thing like a massive concrete post blocking out the goal put you off.
Title: Re: Palace away
Post by: Dominic22 on August 17, 2022, 04:45:26 PM
Well, I assume there have been some corporate returns as there are 15 of them all together available on the site if anyone is interested.

By the way does anyone have any park-n-public transport tips? We're coming from South Coast.

I’m lucky - train strike tomorrow and Palace is the one prem ground that I can get to on the bus. 75 from Lewisham to Croydon. Happy birthday, Lee!

Heading up from Southampton too.  Parking looks scarce to say the least!

  Luxury! cheers our kid. Is there a villa/away pub you're planning heading to?
