[Zac Stojcevski · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not as clever or engaging as the first book unfortunately it reads partly as a gap year travel blog, partly as a discursive diary of one who is homesick. It is unfortunately “lite on” football content but at least that football is Palace. Input from supporters, fans and owners was interesting including a heartfelt letter from a mother of an asd son who has found himself at Selhurst Park was particularly moving.

As a fellow Palace fan I really enjoyed this especially as I was in Australia in 1989/90 and missed the FA cup final so it brought back a lot of good memories 🦅
