    That question was one of the only ones I got right lol. Milwall would never share a ground with Palace, would be like a south east WWIII.

    Tbf to the actual club, they’ve tried to stamp the rough element out of the game. They also do massive work for charities and advocacy to keep vital services at Lewisham Hospital. Having been to the New Den, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought, I guess it isn’t fair to tarnish the whole club with one brush. But they hate Palace, lol.

    I stood in the away section at the old den in New Cross once, it was a cage thankfully cause we were battered with bricks and bottles for the entire game. Scary stuff.

    Jaysus. 10/10. But if the quiz was the other way around – e.g. ‘where do the club who used to play at Ayresome Park now play?’ – then I’d be struggling to get two or three. Must really be showing my age.
