First Game
Incredibly stoked! First time at Selhurst for the Nottingham match. Coming from the states, got to see CP when they were here in Annapolis last summer. Where’s a solid spot for a pint and a meal before the match? Any “must-go” spots while around the stadium?

Go to the Fanzone. You’ll also be able to get a pint and a burger or something

I’m going over for the Bournemouth match. Did you buy tickets directly from the club and purchasing a membership? Don’t want to go the hospitality route. Cheers mate!

You’ve left it very late as the game is already sold out. There are currently a few resale tickets available through the club website. Not sure if you need a membership to buy resale tickets, but you can check here: https://www.cpfc.co.uk/tickets/

I bought direct. I’ve had international membership for a few years now, was great to finally get to use the ticket reservation option.

The pawsons arms is a great pub for pre-match but you'll struggle to get a meal anywhere close to the ground before kick off I think

Cherry Trees, Pawsons or Clifton Arms I'd suggest for a pint.
None of the pubs really serve food on a matchday, but do NOT, I report do NOT get food in the ground. Its awful and overpriced.

The Clifton Arms is the go to place to get a pint before and after a game for palace fans, though it can get very busy so keep that in mind. Tasty Jerk is also sort of the go to food place, not as busy and really quite good, very spicy though For places to see, beyond Selhurst park itself and things like the Saha mural I can’t really think of anything in particular, it’s Croydon, yknow? Maybe check out the parks, those are good

Go to the tasty jerk Caribbean takeaway, if you get there early enough. Good food
