The away end at Selhurst Park is situated in one side of the Arthur Wait Stand, however unlike previous, when you have been situated next to the more 'vocal' Crystal Palace fans, they have now moved the away supporters to the other end, by the family enclosure, which obviously makes for a bit less banter.
Crystal Palace is a decent away game to go to, pre-match drinks around the London Bridge area and a pretty relaxed atmosphere around Selhurst Park, it makes for a decent Saturday afternoon.
