Selhurst is literally 5minutes from Penge High Street, so although you may well know more Millwall than Palace in Penge, I doubt very much if thats the case. I have drunk in most of the pubs in Penge, and have many friends from there, and have found it to be predominantly Palace, however as I say its so local to Selhurst, you'd be surprised if it wasn't. It would be like finding more Millwall in Greenwich than Charlton.
I always thought Penge was very much a Palarse area, Sydenham too. Downham estate/Bromley, Bellingham and Catford you were/are either Millwall or Charlton.
penge is millwall imo,most palace fans seem to come from out of london,hence where there horrific and brutal rivarly stems with brighton,two proud clubs with rich historys.
Penge & Sydenham are what I consider the Crystal Palace area, the stripes play in South Norwood though, wouldn't say it was a 5 minute walk.
Was in the swan in Bromley during the playoff semi-final second leg, there were about 5 Palace fans there. If Arsenal were playing a champions league match there would be about 30. There's no area where the majority of fans supports a South London team (who still play in South London).
my best mate lives in sydenham,i drink with him most weekends up there,a splattering of palace up there,mainly millwall fans and chelsea wannabees.crystal palace are quite unique in that i dont think they have any heartlands of support.

I spent far too much of my college time in the moon and stars, I'd honestly say in my experience Penge is more nillwall than scum.
Stupid arguement really as we both have an opinion, mine is probably slightly biased as I don't mix with scum, so probably didn't speak to the millions of palace ;-)

As you say its only opinion, but you're life might have been better if you had mixed more with the millions of Palace there. ;)
[quote][cite]Posted By: Algarveaddick[/cite]As a former Penge resident, I would say Palace outnumber Millwall by a small margin. Armchair Gooners and armchair Chelsea outnumber both I am afraid.[/quote]
I can't believe you'd leave Penge for the Algarve.
My boss lives in Biggin Hill and he's a Palace supporter. To be fair if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't care less about them, I've only had a grudge against them since Jordan came along. I even go to England games with Palace fans!
What you will find in a lot of this is firm v firm hatred, Spurs traditional rivals are Arsenal obviously, but if you get down to the nitty gritty Spurs main rivals in the hooli league, like it or not are Chelsea.
Where the Fulham 4x4 chelsea tractor driving yuppies hatred of Brum comes from I dont know.

I think that's just because they beat them near the end of the season.
I agree with others generally that this list is dubious, however I find that amongst our supporters we seem to disagree on this subject a lot so who knows. Personally I would say Millwall, West Ham and Chelsea in that order. I find this Palace hatred almost as daft as their hatred of Brighton.

they're usually the scabby looking twats gobbing off....

Addington is ok, it's New Addington you have to worry about.
At least Biggin Hilla has a part of town called the "Valley", Scott Minto used to live there.
My next door neighbour is a palace fan.
The chap who lives at the back of my house is mad keen Charlton.
As the crow flies Selout is about 1 mile nearer than the Valley.
Everywhere around here kids where Arsenal/Chelsea/Man U and Liverpool shirts.
Where the Fulham 4x4 chelsea tractor driving yuppies hatred of Brum comes from I dont know.
That's one thing we can all agree on.
