Blackpool/Singing the Blues

[Cheeky Monkey]

Just over 12k at Blackpool today - crowd numbers Palace can only dream of. I normally root for the smaller club, but I was a Blackpool fan all the way today.

When Brighton win and Palace lose, oh Brighton you got me singing the blues.

Hmm 5,449 against Middlesborough for starters. I don't think so.

1 game. We average more then they do so......

 

[Peter Grummit]

Palarse 37% possession, 1 effort on target to Blackpool's 9 etc. etc.

They got what they deserved, playing the reserves. Sounds like they've given up in the League already.

I see Dougie went for just one up front today, Red'n'Blue?

 

[looney]

Should be a 20 point deduction for fielding a weak team, but I suppose the authorities are used to Palace cheating.

Idiot

Your average gets a nice rise when WHam etc bring 6k plus fans in home end and your club jumps at the chance to give them all the seats they want. We don't have that 'luxury' as we sell out EVERY league game

West Ham had 4-5000.

You already have 10-12000 neutrals in your seats week-in, week-out

lol what a myth. Virtually every fan with a season ticket will be supporting the albion - jealousy is hideous isn't it I'd say around 2k of STHhadn't been to an albion game before.

PS - Where the hell do all these Palace fans come from? IT's like there's 2 or 3 on here all the time! I know BBS is shit in comparison but some of you need to get a life

[MENTION=15941]pauldcpfc[/MENTION] Why was a weakened team played? How weak was it? I recognise a couple of names.

Compared to your 10-12000 empty seats which you can't even give free tickets away for 'cos nobody wants them

Apparently it was proper reserves (of course they aren't classy enough to have a DS ) In which case they've shown a complete lack of respect for the NPower Champs and should be heavily fined. And docked 10 points

Fans that turn up week in week out are not neutrals. However, fans that turn up once in a blue moon (ala Cardiff in the cup) could be considered as neutrals or even fickle plastic fans don't you think?

To be fair, I've never heard of half their team today.

34 Price Heard of him at least, not very good
03 Wright Who?
26 Parsons Who?
30 McShane Found his level at last
37 Egan Who?
41 Dumbuya Who?
10 Garvan Says a lot for his ability that he's picked to play with THIS lot
14 Cadogan May have heard of him briefly
28 O'Keefe Who?
27 Sekajja Who?
31 Andrew Seriously, is he STILL a Championship player?

Substitutes
40 Fitzsimons Who?
12 Marrow Who?
36 De Silva Who?
09 Iversen Is that the tubby Norwegian who used to play for Spurs?
25 Pedroza Who?

Facts from Football 365 Football365 - Football Stats - Football News, Views, Gossip and much more...
Palace average in the league this season 15012 57% of capacity
Brighton average 18734 83.7% of capacity

On percentage terms were second in the championship and palace are 20th. We've slipped below west ham by 0.1% on the percentage stakes, so we need to pick it up for the rest of the season. Given that we're back playing beautiful winning football, this is ikely to happen.

Then next year we'll be pulling in more like 160% of palace.

This year our ground is too small for the premiership. Next year would be mid table in premiership attendances.
