- Crystal Palace - known now mostly for the Football Club - is an important part of early football history. With the stadium currently known as Crystal Palace National Sports Centre 👉🏽 Crystal Palace Park was an iconic destination due to the building the park was built around known as "The Crystal Palace". A huge glass building which was built in the mid 1800s and later moved to South London... burning down in 1936. The park had lots of attractions and one of those was the stadium hosting sporting events, with the FA Cup Final becoming the most prominent 🏆 Although the FA Cup final began at the Oval stadium (famous cricket ground) and was held at a few other locations, it's at Crystal Palace Stadium it established itself as the HUGE football competition it still is today! ⚽️ The FA Cup final moved away from Crystal Palace after WW1 but the significance of hosting the competition here can never been undervalued. WEMBLEY is the home of English Football but the Crystal Palace Stadium opened the door for that to happen... 🏟️

Ian wright turned up for his Crystal Palace trial at this stadium, then was told it was the wrong stadium and he had to run to Selhurst park before playing his trial match. At the time he was just a builder.

@@lewismartin4306 maybe that’s why Jim Cannon gave him so much shit 😬
I am 59, I remember the stadium "In the state its in now" in the early 1970s as many athletics meeting were televised ... it has not changed.
Nothing wrong with it tbf
I used to live the Crystal Palace area, and have a love of football history, and the history of that park. The whole park is filled with history due to it being the exhibition area for the Victorians. The size of the original "glass palace" was stunning, and when it burnt down the UK lost one of its most impressive buildings.
As you said, the site the stadium was originally the site of one of two lakes with the biggest fountains in the world. Other lake site now has the big square sports centre you can see in the video.
By draining the lakes they created natural stadiums due to the slopes. A large water cascade ran down the hill between the two lakes.
The clubs that played there had different "status" compared to now. Man Utd were not a big club at that time, and I believe Man City were the far bigger club, and won a trophy there early on. (Good evidence that these two clubs were not rivals at this point, and shared many facilities, and supporters. Sharing of supporters went onto the 60's)
Other interesting facts I remember about the whole site, is that its where the first person was killed by a car, which had reached the terrifying speed of 8 mph , and caught people by surprise.
You might have noticed the road down to a behind the stadium is very wide. It was because it's the remains of motor racing circuit built there. Had to be stopped as it was too loud.
Bottom area of the park hosted for a short time an experimental underground pneumatic railway. The single railway carriage was shot along a tube by air pressure, or you the carriage was like a pellet in a air gun. Would have loved to have seen that.
And one of the great film quotes happened near the spot you were stood above the stadium. It's where Michael Cain stated "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off"
Don't want to go down the rabbit hole regarding the history of the existing CPFC, but it's attempts to link its history to football played in the park before 1900 are disappointing.
Used to live in Sydenham i have run at that stadium for my school, played football there and watched graham hill race on the track that runs round the stadium and crystal palace park, great memories
Hey Ry! I am so happy you made this video. As in 2015/6 I completed my City & Guilds Horticulture Certification in that stadium as Capel Manor College have a campus and classroom facility in the main stand. You probably missed it? Crystal Palace Train Station attached to the park is cool too. Love the vest Pal 👏
🤣 cheers for watching as always mate
Love a Ry history lesson 👌🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for this highly classy tour Ry.
Always classy….
my nan lived in south norwood, she remembers it burning down, she said the smoke filled the air for miles and miles
What an absolute beauty. Football in Soviet style athletics stadiums is just so perfect. I don’t get why people hate them. Beats a big plastic bowl like the Emirates or that Spurs thing.
Does look a bit Soviet doesn’t it 😅
@@RysFootyParadise It does need some Soviet floodlights, but I’m nit-picking.
One of my favourite TH-cam channels. Very informative. Reminds me of another football TH-cam channel "Footy Adventures" with Sam North.
Nice work. Love it . I ❤ very old football history .
Fallowfield Stadium in Manchester held an FA cup final,too. It was completely demolished, so it probably wouldn't make a great vid.
I mentioned that at the start 😊
@RysFootyParadise ah, right. I'm not able to listen to the vid yet. I won't make that mistake again. Cheers.
Bury are now a non-league club, and won the FA Cup twice at Crystal Palace 6-0, and 4-0.
Man city were the first Manchester team to win the fa Cup in 1904
Actually, that would be the only Manchester club.
I hadn't realised that the modern athletics stadium is a modernisation of the old FA Cup venue on the exact same site and therefore is still the same stadium; much like how Deepdale still is, even the location of the pitch is the only unchanged thing.
Manchester United won their 1st FA CUP at Crystal Palace.
That’s what I said? 😁
That stadium looks very nice bit like the tenerife stadium in pes like a bowl stadium
121000? Doesn't look like it on the original footage
They were mostly on one level not raised up in stands so bet half of them couldn’t see the pitch 🤣
that was before “health and safety” became a thing so fans just basically cramped in through every method possible
Up the Glaziers!
The vest aside, another great video👍
😅👍🏾 nobody needs to see my dadbod
@@RysFootyParadise as a Dad myself who is turning 50 this year, to reach the next level of Dadhood you have to stop giving a shit what others think🤣
@@jamiepike6909 I stopped giving a shit years ago 🤣
Crystal Palace is very much run down. It was completely neglected after the London Stadium opened and all of the facilities are in a very bad condition. That report was put out in 2020 so let's have invested loads of money which I doubt they have because they still will use the London Stadium for athletics now the money is not there to fix it
Do add “crystal palace national sports centre “ in description or title Rhy. So more people when searching crystal palace national sports centre on YT will see this. 😮
Wait, did you go into this for free?😅
How do you enter this crystal palace national sports centre?
5:54 yea, Crystal in South East London say they were formed in 1861 now.
Crystal Palace in South East London done well being in Premier League for over ten seasons now.
Bit of a grey area with the founding date even Palace fans I’m friends with say 1905 because that amateur side before just had the same name 😅 would many people search that on google/youtube?
@@RysFootyParadise they could because of not many video out there of Crystal Palace national sports centre on yt
Time to do the Oval mate and learn cricket. We’ll get you to experience other sports one day lol
I love a stadium so why not 😅
Got to do the Oval next?!
I don’t know the slightest thing about cricket but why not 😅 hope you’re well mate… great refereeing this weekend….
Awe little ole united didn't win the cup till 1909...City did it in 1904💀
What a terrible thumbnail, it didn't make me want to watch this video , I left a thumbs down just fir the thumbnail I didn't watch the video
You clicked it though? 🤣
@@RysFootyParadise only to tell you I didn't like it and to leave a thumbs down
@@RysFootyParadise needless to say I have the last laugh
Fantastic! Appreciate the interaction in the comments 👍🏾
If a club disappears without trace for 30 years you can't come along and pretend you're the oldest Professional football team in the world. The Nigels really are special!
Notts county
?
@@samelmudir The Nigels play at Selhurst! Notts County are rightfully the oldest Professional club.
Loads of clubs are doing it, effectively inventing history. Stoke City took a typo in a book that stated their formation year as 1863 and not 1868 and used that to pretend they're older than they really are. What's the point of all this. Most fans don't care what year their club was formed in.
I live near Crystal Palace Park and I had NO IDEA about this!
Glad to share some of the park’s history 😊
