According to the BBC Moroccan, Chadi Riad of Real Betis, having signed for Palace for £14m was reportedly "interested in coming here because of the history of the club".
This auspicious history includes 3 titles (two Championship equivalent and one L1. And seven as runners-up on all Leagues ). They also lost two Cup Finals, but won four Play-off finals. There is also the winning of the ZDS Cup in 1991, which was always known by my young son as the Zoids Cup (who remembers Zoids?).
So much for their new signing to take in then. I hope that any new player who eventually kisses that good old horse has been studying our history for several months before declaring himself one of our own. [Post edited 14 Jun 2024 13:34]

History might include an impressive history in player development perchance? | |

It might also include a history of community involvement, inexpensive catering, an effective working knowledge of the South London "cages" or continuously entertaining club programme notes. But whatever other addenda Palace might lay claim to, such extraneous achievements probably didn't sway his ultimate decision to commit. | |

Palace also have the record attendance for any game in the 4th tier, - nearly 38,000. |  | | |

Palace team of the 80s don't you know. How they got that title forever escapes me. I appreciate I may be showing my age. |  | | |

September 79', they beat us 3-0, the next day it was the headline. By the time we played them again in about Feb 80' it was all over! | | | |

I suspect had this Chadi Riad heard of a mighty East Anglian club that once beat a Byuuuurn Mooonik side, he'd have immediately switched his attention to the yella peril..... |  |

Maybe he was confusing the club with the actual Crystal Palace, which was a pretty impressive feat of engineering. |  | | |

As with most footballers, he was most likely impressed with their history of paying lots of money.
There’s got to be some upsides of being based in Croydon right..? | | | |
