I once drove round South London looking for Palace's ground (pre Sat Nav) and couldn't find it. I ended up parking outside a supermarket and asking someone if i was near to Selhurst Park, he explained that the shop was actually attached to the stadium and i still couldnt see the ducking shitehole. The FA Cup finals were played at what is now the Crystal Palace National Athletics Centre. Used to live and work in the area in the late nineties and I think you perfectly summed up the essence of Selhurst Park. I once saw the Rams draw 1-1 there without a single shot on target and I'm not sure many off target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i was driving aimlessly around the metropolis i was following signs for Crystal Palace at one point before i realised i was heading for the athletics stadium.

Defies logic really that Crystal Palace don't play in Crystal Palace. Imagine if a team like Nottingham Forest didn't actually play in Not... oh hang on.

Will Hughes Hair Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 In the nineties without sat navs the South Circular was a brute. On my first trip to find Lewisham I ended up going past the White Hart at New Cross three times. I only realised because the pub was in need of some tlc with the 'W' missing off the pub sign. I remember thinking 'There can't be three pubs, all so close, named the Hite Hart' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my Structural Engineering degree with a lad who was a Vale fan and who's dad had done all the design work on one or two of their stands. This friendship gave me some key footballing knowledge. Well at least three things... Port Vale used to have a large amount of space surrounding it that was used predominantly for a Sunday market The reason that Vale Park had such an amount of space around it was that it was envisaged to be the Wembley of the north / midlands Port Vale are named after a pub Unfortunately I am unable to shed any light on why you would call a pub the 'Port Vale'.
