Crystal Palarse become our team (cough, spit) on the N&R Road to Wembley.Tomorrow they take on Martin Singleton's Preston North End at Deepdale. For those of you that don't know anything about our beloved Croydoners. Here you go:
-Famous Palarse lovers include Kid Jenson, Jo Brand and Captain Sensible.
-Record Transfer Fee Paid was £2,750,000 to Strasbourg for Valerien Ismael (who?)
-Palarce have 14 managerial appointments in the last 10 years. This includes Steve Coppell 3 times and both Alan Smith & Steve Kember twice.
-Famous past players include Mark Bright and Hermann Hreidarsson, who both improved their careers at Charlton.
-Due to a production error at Diadora's factory in Romania, Crystal Palace's Replica Kit for 2004 was misprinted with "Chrystal Palace" on the Quality Control label. It of course should have read Crystal Palarse.
-They were the team of 80's, not proven by record defeats at the end of the 80's in the league away at Liverpool losing 9-0 and in the League Cup losing to Southend (yes, Southend) 8-0.
-Crystal Palarse now hold the distinction of being the only team to have been relegated from the Premiership four times. The last time, in case you didn't know was when Charlton relegated them last season.
