So my 1st game was '68 but didn't start going regular until in work in '74. 1st season tkt was as u can see was 77/78 for princely sum of £37.00 This coming season will be my 50th as season tkt holder & it costs bit more than this now. I'm still plastic as Mrs V is on 62nd!

That is a thing of beauty. Congratulations on your half century.

Bloody newcomers, only committing to a ST when they realised glory was just 48 years away.

As I said I'm a plastic 😁 Didn't go to Leeds or Sunderland in 75/76 Cup run, had to work Saturday mornings, which also qualifies me as plastic although I did all the other matches in run including Scarborough!

I think you can probably say you’re a regular these days John. Started my journey in 1979, but wouldn’t have bothered with a ST until late 80’s as there was never any danger of not being able to walk up on the day. Although I was at all home games from around 85.

Drifted to an occasional fan in the mid 90’s then (I would guess from a look at Futbology) started again with a ST in 96 or 97.

Wow! That was my first season ticket too. I think block G, so not far from you. I remember that booklet so well.

What a marriage! ❤️💙

A marriage that happened because we sat near each other. Me with my first husband who introduced me to Palace. When Mike died - through his MS we struggled to still get to games...well our friendship grew!

A match made in Selhurst, which is heaven to some. ❤️💙 Well, I wouldn’t be a Palace supporter if I hadn’t married the lady I did. My late father-in-law has a lot to answer for. However the link doesn’t end there as my youngest daughter’s husband is … a Palace fan! ❤️💙 The legacy lives on.

We owe our club so much Andy. It's brought together so many relationships if not in marriage then treasured friendships and life enriching experiences enjoyed together. ❤️💙

100% My boy grew up with the very best people around him. That whole "village to raise a child" thing.
