So much potential we had at Selhurst but unfortunately robbed of a lot of space to build one of the finest grounds in london due Mr bloye and previous greedy chairman .
great picture.

Looks like the entire Palace was still standing when this was taken, so would be pre 1936. The two garden pavilions can be seen behind the ground so the tower would be the north tower that burnt down on the night of the fire (the south tower lasted quite a bit longer and was eventually demolished when it became unsafe).

At this time,I think all the FA Cup Finals were played here.

A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

Very nostalgic picture....ah, the memories!
I've never really accepted the need for seating despite what the experts say. Unless the ground was pretty near full it always seemed perfectly safe to me and the ability to change position at will was priceless.

I also enjoy posting on: Love Everton Forum, the Acceptable Face of Scouse Football.
