This game was on April 2nd 1977 just over a year after the 4-1 win over them at Millmoor when Malcolm 'Fedora' Allison was in charge and at the time in the midst of an FA Cup run that saw them lose out to eventual winners Southampton 2-0 in the semi-final.

We haven't beaten Palace for almost 40 years, the last time being February 27th 1982 (the last of the 8 games we won in February that year winning once more at Oldham before the streak was broken against Newcastle).
