Crystal Palace FA Cup Tickets

Crystal Palace might not have a winners medal to their name in the FA Cup, however they certainly have some fond moments they can look back on from recent editions of the world’s oldest club knockout tournament. The Eagles have certainly raised a few eyebrows with their performances at moments in the competition, which has given the capacity crowd of 25,486 at Selhurst Park an additional incentive to get behind their team whenever they play a match at home in the tournament.

The Eagles, who have been expertly led by managers such as Roy Hodgson in recent memory, have had talented individuals such as Wilfried Zaha, Alan Pardew, Ian Wright, John Salako and Mile Jedinak all feature in previous fixtures in the competition.

As mentioned, Crystal Palace may not have been able to boast that they have won the tournament, however recent editions have provided the south London outfit with some relative success in the form of final appearances.

The 1989/90 and 2015/16 FA Cup campaigns saw the Eagles fly to the final, however they would be beaten by Manchester United on both occasions at both versions of the Wembley Stadium - the original in 1990 and the new one in 2016.

The 1989/90 final might be regarded as one of the most memorable moments in the club’s history in regards to the FA Cup as they managed to hold Manchester United to a 3-3 draw in the initial contest after extra-time, before being beaten 1-0 in a replay.

The 3-3 draw saw Gary O’Reilly score, as Ian Wright recorded a brace, as they came within seven minutes of potentially lifting the trophy before Mark Hughes had other ideas and put the ball into the back of the net beyond Nigel Martyn.

Indeed, the 2016 FA Cup final has since been the best chance Crystal Palace have had, however fans still flock to Selhurst Park on matchday in the hope they will go one better than that and finally get to experience what it is like to lift the world’s oldest trophy.
