Loved the old gaff.
More like over the hill.Bods on the hill
You're right mate, they beat us 3-2, fleck scored an injury time winner.I think that’s Dale Gordon of Norwich
True, that's exactly my view. I still go out of way on match days to walk past the old place. A moments pause for my old man then a wry smile.although we are of course used to new place after all these years, it will never really feel like home.
Look at those legends in the front row alone!
You made this a decent thread with all the pictures mateLook at those legends in the front row alone!
Yeah mate remember it well.I was on the halfway when the ball came out of the sky and fleck volleys past Horne.You're right mate, they beat us 3-2, fleck scored an injury time winner.

Fleck broke my fucking heart that day! One of the best atmospheres I ever witnessed at the Den, till the end of course, we was gutted!! Always remember Fleck coming down the pitch and clapping the CBL, was a lovely goal to be fair.Great memory mate. There was a few goals shared between us and them that season, 2-2 at there place if memory serves me right.

I was one of the lot coming over the fences at the Ilderton Road but just as I was on the top of the fence about to swing my legs over a copper pulled me back down onto the terrace put his knee on my chest and said "you're fucking niiii!!!" one of my mates mad Pat had jumped on his back trampolining himself to the top of the fence and over onto the pitch, the copper let go of me and went for him (too late) and I took the opportunity to disappear a bit livelyPeckham your right took slaps all along the seats & then just when they thought they’d made it , a fair few wall jumped out of the ilderton chased them to the center circle where they had some more boot soup, had a good view from the halfway, beer in hand pissing myself, a bogie behind said to his filth mate they won’t come again
Never forget it, as I’d never seen any mob go in the CBL
Palace rarely turned up for there home games against us. Can remember going over in the 80's and we'd be all over the ground, home end, main seats,,,,,,,,,,,,,What makes me laugh is when you think back to when we used to play the likes of Charlton, Palace, QPR, Luton etc at the old place who nowadays think they’re something special turning up via London Bridge/Borough Market and the walkway used to barely fill that away corner when they came to visit.
Credit to the few mobs that did make the effort at The (real) Den but all these modern day Instagram wallys would have been eaten alive before they even got near Cold Blow Lane.
My dear old nan, grandad & great nan lived there on the right. Mum went to that school on the right.I used to live there - on the left at the other end!
Great photos by the way.
If only we had time machines to go back to amazing places like The Old Den
