I thought that photo was a wind up and someone had just stuck the badge on in the corner of a random photo they found on Google. The fact this is real is genuinely hilarious.
A great uncle moved to Croydon, Surrey in the 1950s & was considered very middle-class after that by my grandad & his brothers. Funny how things change.
On BBC news the other night, there was a bit about the bus tour, they stated the the football club was the oldest in the world. Looking for a new TV now.

FFS. Their own club historian said the "oldest club" thing was bollocks, and that the 1905 club has no formal connection with the earlier club. But they've decided that if they repeat it enough times then it becomes true. On that basis, every day when I wake up in the morning, I'm going to say "Manchester City won the 2025 FA Cup Final". That should become a fact around late December/early Jan.
I may also add "Eddie Izzard replaced Oliver Glasner as manager and Jo Brand replaced Jean-Phillipe Mateta as Palace's main striker" to my daily new truths speech.
Utter tossers. And that bus only went around a couple of streets near the stadium, thought the streets would be packed for a route that short. Pathetic turnout.
There must be some nigels who look at the ultra with complete embarrassment.
Shall we assist with a legal appeal? Nah, time to get the drum out with our winter coats in July.
More than some tbf mate. A lot of them outright hate them.
Do they really? Have they tried to do anything about them? Can they? Maybe we shoukd have a contingency plan in place to stamp it out should we become more successful and the local yoof decide to come along as ’ultras’
I loath this ’ultra culture.’ I can grudgingly accept it in France but it is so disconnected from English football culture. I mean, just what have a skull and crossbones got to do with football anyway?

Croydon was 'O.K.' up until the 90s. Horrible place these days.

Badge: Established 1905
It really, really fucks me off how they have got away with it.
I can't imagine supporting a team that in less than 50 years have changed their badge, nickname, home kit colours and founding year
The rules are the rules
Its time for them all to cancel that non refundable unlimited annual eurostar train ticket.
Croydon has luxery illegal immigrant hotels, kebab shops, empty barbers and general depression swimming in the grey sky clouds of palace.
The sunlight is waiting for Charlton.
Legit protest or Split brats
Just as soon as they all stop laughing.
