Quite right. We mustn't forget the JPT you're so fond of (not that we've ever played in it)
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Just JUST over 12,000 at Selhurst tonight! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Would love to have seen how many they would be getting if the spent 25 years in the lower leagues, playing in Gillingham and then an athletics track with no roof. They would be down to the players mum's by now. These crowds after the most successful 25 years in their history goes to show how plastic and small time palace are. Still well done palace, you broke the 10,000 barrier, I assume it was kids for a quid?

I noticed. In fact, such is your indifference that you've gone to all that trouble of logging into your rival's forum to tell us you don't care.
Haha! What a bunch of noddy fans.

And you've hung around to argue the toss. That piss poor attendance must be making you die inside for you to care this much.
Noddy fans, noddy club.

How cute coming from a club that averaged "just JUST over" 6000 for the last 10 years. On a Monday night on Sky with hardly any away fans, I couldn't give a toss about our attendance. After all, we're above you, we've beaten you 3-1, we've got a better goal difference and we're in the semi's of the cup
In the Championship for Surreys premier club that pretty shocking though isn't it ?
I think you suffer from being outside of London.

It's a bit pathetic continually having a go at Palace just because for the first season in about 25 we'll have a higher average attendance than them.
I can't stand the club, and I'll be wading in for weeks if we beat them next month. But the facts are that Palace's support got a lot better around the time they almost went under (not surprisingly, same happened to us in many ways among the hard core). They started singing more, came up with the Ultras songs which we've miserably copied, and actually creating an atmosphere. It's up to us to match and beat it, and not just when we're down to nine men.

Well that gets a

No its not Tooting Gull. No sure where you have been but Albion were asset striped and palace had the best spell in their history, whilst we the worst. Despite this they get half our crowds. We now compare like with like and frankly they dont cut the mustard. They are so small time that they are an embarrassment to call a rival, especially when you think of their joke protests in the city.

No, they are averaging about 3/4 of our crowd for the first half of one season for the first time in decades. I'm delighted what I see as the rightful positions have been restored, but I haven't just forgotten what has happened since the 1980s, as so many younger fans seem to have done.
As for them not cutting the mustard, they cut it all right in September. I would trade a win that night right now for some higher crowd bollocks.

I'm glad I'm not on my own in thinking that!!
Probably done on purpose, knowing full well it would attract the response it is clearly getting!!
That or the Lobotomy was a total success..............

I am getting sick of us quoting Crystal Palace's attendance, game by game. What is the point in it? We are just lowering ourselves to their level. I personally couldn't give a shit whether they get 20 or 20,000 people through the door. Yes it is a nice stat to have that we are currently getting more fans through the gates at the moment but there is no need to bang on about it game by game. It stinks of an arrogance that I hope never materialises as our club grow's. The only thing I care about is what happens when both sets of players cross the white line and evidentally we failed in our last meeting.
However I also dont need to be told by Palace supporters that we have had an average 6,000 attendance for the last 10 years considering our capacity was around this for a number of those years, not to mention you couldnt get a pint, sit under a roof or attend with horrendously "strict" rules enforced on the ground. This, coupled with the misery of making thosehorrendous journeys to kent, means Palace fans should take note that despite all this we have come out the other side with an attendance of 20,000 odd with a large number of these fans under 14.

Couldn't give a toss about the Withdean, fact of the matter is Palace are an established Championship club just outside of London with shocking attendance figures. Let's not mention their away support.
Odd thing about them is they obviously do have many supporters who can't be bothered to turn up to games. One half season back in Championship and we're p***ing all over them in term of ticket sales.

But then surely they can just say that we've just moved into a spanking new stadium and have gone up a division as champions while they have been on the same league for a while in a god awful stadium?? If we're both still in same league in 4/5 years then let's hope we still average more than them!!

I just dont really want it pointed out as I see it as us lowering ourselves to their level of wit and banter. Yes, their attendance is pretty shambolic. However I would prefer that instead of quoting attendances we could be quoting how we had beat them 1-0 instead of crumbling at home.
