Despite of the introduction of an ambitious training program, the 1^st XI were immediately relegated on their return to the top flight. Through the good offices of an old member, Charles Truett – then on the Board of Directors at Crystal Palace – permission was given for members of the Club to train at Selhurst Park. Coaching was under Bob Greener, later to be the Palace trainer, and attendance and enthusiasm was satisfactorily high.

The Reserves maintained their new Division 1 status, whilst the "A"s were runners up in Division 3 of the Nemean League. And it was left to the "B"s under the leadership of one of the greatest servants of the Club, Bill Bailey, to bring home the bacon for 1936-37 by winning Division 5 of the Nemean League. However, perhaps the most significant event during this season was the signing of Maurice Watts, later to be the Club skipper during the Club’s most successful period. It was also the year when a new pavilion was erected in conjunction with Beddington Cricket Club to replace the pavilion erected in 1931.
