    Crystal Palace FC co-owner Jeremy Hosking is a prominent collector of vintage steam trains and we are delighted to be able to announce that Jeremy is organising a steam train journey to and from Southampton for our final league game of the 2015/2016 season on Sunday May 15th 2016.
    Wow.

    All jokes aside, this is brilliant. The team will be joining the train for the return and the ticket includes beer & food.

    KM has jumped on the bandwagon and arranged something similar for the first away game next season.

    We'll be able to do it in a few years time. Hythe away in the league on the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch railway.
  • This has done me. The fact Palace's co-owner is doing this for their fans, the fact that Palace are now in the PL with that smug wanker Pardew in charge & we're in League 1 with an owner that doesn't give a shit about us & a basket case of a club all over.

    I once had a bit of an escapade on one of those in my youth......got chased by a diesel engine.

    With all the engineering works at the moment, I'll be happy to just get a train to Charlton matches!

    A nice idea though
