[Palace] An amusing take on Crystal Palace FC - and its fans

[Horton hears a few]

WCP. What is it with you and attendances?

Brightons fan base isn't counting for much at the moment is it? Points is what you need not bums on seats.

Why the fascination? It's not relevant is it?

I think its a reaction to the press who will bang on about northern clubs having a great support and because it is how clubs are judged by other fans All football fans understand that players come and go as does sucess (well except at Brighton as we never get the success bit) and so the club really is the fans

Ok, I can see that to an extent. But it's secondary to what happens in the pitch isn't it. Do you post about what happens on the pitch at all? You may do but I can only recall posts about the status of the club in terms if image and perception. Doesn't really matter does it?

is it secondary? No, not for me, living away from Brighton its great meeting other fans as they will mention when you are a Brighton fan what a great support we have. I know 606 are fascinated by what somebody's full back has or has not done but as I say, its the club, the institution of the Albion I am interested in. That is not to say the pitch isnt important, of course it is and I think Brighton fans have every right to ask for some success for once. And before a palace fan chirps u, I dont go much these days. I watched Brighton a bit in the top flight and then for nearly 30 years during the decline, fall and near oblivion of the Albion under Archer.

I tell you what though, if you want a good laugh have a look at the timeline on Twitter of @Moyes_Must_Go aka Beijing Red 4 Lyf

It's the most obvious parody account going and is actually totally against modern football. Palace fans should be falling over themselves to follow it. Instead most of their mongs seem not to get it and have spent a weekend they should have spent celebrating beating Chelsea instead abusing a parody account. Idiots.

So would you say status in the eyes of other supporters is more important than results?

I've seen no abuse & I also find it ridiculous that someone would spend a whole weekend celebrating a football score.

That's what he'll have you trying to believe, hence why he's the joker of NSC.

That is a great question. Certainly I would prefer to support a Wolves than Wigan. But then I would prefer to support an Orient than a Spurs. So probably yes, but its not status in the eyes of other fans, its what type of club would I prefer to support. For me that Albion is about roots and heritage.

Not that you have a choice what club to support.

Not at all. I believe Yeovil are a proper team, a success story for how a small town can compete. Yeovil.was thrown at me, I stated a fact that we have not played in the same league so is an irrelvant point.

Look you Yeovil-patronising Palace thicko, you stated that one of the 'perks of being Premier League' is that you haven't had 'the joy' of Yeovil.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

To be fair I have seen Brighton fans mocking Sheffield Wednesday on here Bottster, and they are way bigger than Brighton will ever be with all due respect

Do you honestly think that even the most deluded of our fans really believe that we are bigger than Wednesday SJ?! The BBS is full of 'BHA think we're bigger than this or that, the next Real Madrid' etc. when the reality is that most of us are under no illusions about our our club's status/stature. The Yeovil in the Championship mockery on your boards is a completely different animal and a different argument altogether.

To be honest Botty,apart from friendlies or maybe a cup game, I can't recall ever playing them, premier league or not

Thanks for bringing that to our attention , I just hope you haven't spent all weekend reading it .

it's not as if they fought for their club like brighton did ours.

Quite correct. No comparison at all between the superb campaign to save the Goldstone, and the pitiful attempt to sway Lloyds Bank over the ownership of Selhurst.

And how did those turn out? Hardly pitiful if we saved our club from extinction.

A good reply from the Palace guy to.

What an odd post. The "superb campaign" to save the Goldstone sadly ended in failure whilst the "pitiful attempt" to sway Lloyds resulted in palace being reunited with Selhurst Park.
