Quick report from the Palace family on tour. Despite the result (we all thought you were robbed!) we had a great evening with Mansfield Town.
Got the family deal in advance and were well impressed with your whole set up. The family stand is great and we had seats right at the back so a really good view. Your family room is a really cool idea, our lot were a bit old for it but so good that there’s somewhere for your young fans to hang out, esp the sensory stuff.
Met Danielle who really helped us out, so many thanks to her.
Our youngest made a beeline for the club shop and insisted on a scarf that he wore for the match.
Sorry we didn’t bring you any luck but we were so pleased to have seen a stags goal and were trying to suck the ball in towards the end of the game!
I thought there was some really decent football on display but as a neutral I reckon you’re crying out for a clinical goal scorer as you had loads of chances but seemed impossible to get the ball in.
Salford scored a couple of annoying, jammy goals and you really deserved at least a draw.
I’m going to insist Palace start selling mushy peas and mint sauce by the way!
All in all we had a really good night out at your place and was well impressed with the great atmosphere. I was amazed when they announced the crowd and it was only 4000, sounded like a lot more.
Anyway, thanks for your friendly advice and good luck for the rest of the season. I’ll def be keeping at eye on your results. Will/CPFC fan
Great to hear you and your family enjoyed your night at Field Mill. We could do with a couple of midfielders as well!
Just shows how far this club has come in the last few years.
