Mystery of Palace victory featured in Rotherham Hall of Fame

dimanche 10 février 2019

My wife's aunt is a Rotherham season ticket holder and to celebrate her 80th birthday yesterday we all went to the Rotherham game and afterwards went to a party in their function suite in the main stand. It's a very impressive facility overlooking the pitch and next to the Boardroom and during the party they showed videos of the manager and squad wishing my wife's aunt a happy birthday.

When I went for a stroll to look at their Hall of Fame, I was surprised to find a photo of our away game from 2003. It was memorable for a few reasons. Firstly because we won 3-1, secondly because we sat in the home end with my wife's aunt and thirdly because her son-in-law nearly got chucked out for cheering Palace's goals too enthusiastically (he's a Wednesday supporter).

The date was a bit mysterious though as accordding to records that was the date of our home game. The away game was in December. Alternatively it could have been our away game against them in April 2004 which we also won (2-1). More of a mystery is why they would want to highlight a defeat to the mighty Palace in their Hall of Fame.
