Just came across a copy of the Crystal Palace Football supporters Club Official Handbook of the 68-69 season which looks back on the previous season (67-68) It has 112 pages of brilliant reading and information. Even the ads are worth reading for nostalgia's sake. The page on attendances that season was well worth the read. Some of you might find it of interest.
We were one of only three teams in Div 2 that season to have a 30,000 plus home crowd on more than one occasion. 38,006 v Q.P.R and 30,304 v Millwall.
Our average gate was 16,126. In that season there were 69 matches played at Selhurst Park.
20 reserve team matches. Average crowd was 708. Highest attendance was 1,087 v Norwich.
A London challenge cup v Tottenham 3,537
Sutton v Leytonstone F.A Amateur Cup Semi final 10.096
England youth v Palace under 19's 654
F.A Youth Cup v West Ham 287 v Charlton 403 v Coventry 2,021
Surrey Youth Cup Horsell 203, Westfield 101,Kingswood 298
Junior Cup final v Chelsea 530(abandoned) and 759
Various School cup finals average gate 198
Also interesting to read that our under 19's went to Holland to participate in a tournament. We had a guest player called Malcolm MacDonald. Bet we wished later that we'd signed him up.
