Only 7000 Palace season tickets sold..................

I appreciate that you are a bender, but you go on about these massive crowds etc, why didn't the Withdean sell out week on week?

Surely these "fans" support the club, not the ground?

Oh dear, is that your best comeback ? The reason we didn't sell out Withdean all the time is that we had a poor team, poor facilities and high prices for the quality of fare on show. However, unlike your scummy little club we didn't con anybody once, let alone twice, we lived within our means.

I appreciate that you're not too bright but the difference between Withdean and The Amex is so vast that somebody who lives in a caravan would have difficulty with size comparisons. I'm sure you think your chemical toilet is the lap of luxury.

I appreciate that, it just seems a little presumptive or, some may say, arrogant, to be bragging quite so soon IMHO.

14 years of them taking the piss while they were doing what they did to their creditors gives us reason enough to be arrogant now that we are beginning to look like a real football club again. If they don't like it, f*** 'em!

 

[bhaexpress]

Yes, looks just like the Withdean.

And as I said before, quite happy staying at Selhurst.

Well we used to have nice artists impressions of The Amex, of course now we have it. The fact that you're happy ground sharing with Sainsburys shows at least you can be realistic, clearly you have justifiably low expectations.

Matt, I can see from your post count that you're fairly new here. When you have been following this club for as long as some of us have given the amount of abuse heaped on us by Palace fans because unlike them our club has never short-changed it's creditors we do reserve the right to tell them what a joke they are.

lol....such a funny thread..and i'm plastic?..the cheek of it! lol

Will this new stadium come quick enough, before the decision that you have to rebuild the main stand or close it down and have reduced attendances, similar to what happened at the Goldstone when we had to reduce our capacity because areas of the ground became unsafe.

For the same reason you never sold all of your allocation there?

You're not very bright are you?

Of course the majority of people who have bought Amex season tickets are fans. I Know of three or four who used to 'go to the odd home game' who have now committed to getting a season ticket. I also know someone who went to more away games than homes games because Withdean was such a shit experience but has now bought a season ticket. Is he a bad fan? I think not. We're not the first club to increase attendances after building a new stadium. There are numerous examples.

I'm just pleased that we are now on a level playing field with Palace or, as it looks at present, we're on the brand new playing field with all the fantastic new play equipment, while you are stuck on the grotty playground, next to the abandoned sand pit that local dogs use as a toilet. Or something.

Lol. I'm pretty comfortable with my Albion credentials but do tell, Mr Uberfan, what should my post count be before I will understand?

Palarse would love to have the revenue that 12,000+ returning supporters would bring.

In their case it just might stop them from going into administration - again.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

We'll see. At least we won't be paying well over the odds for our stadium.

.

WE aren't paying anything for it. Do keep up.

It wasn't a criticism merely an observation. Your relatively low post count could indicate you to be an Albion fan who wasn't around back in the hay days of the 1970s/80s when we would sell out The Goldstone from time to time. The fact that we've had Palace fans coming on here telling us how tin pot we are when there's a very good reason for it (as in we paid what we could afford whereas we all know they did not) so yes, we will take the opportunity to let them know that they are very much the Tin Pot club. No offence intended.

Since when did palace PAY for anything? They may agree to pay but it's usually when they need to hand over the cash that the problem starts. Anybody tendering to build a new stadium for them should inflate the cost by a factor of 10 in order to cover the costs when they are offered 10pence in the pound.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Yes, looks just like the Withdean.

And as I said before, quite happy staying at Selhurst.

7000 fans who go regularly or 18000 plastic fans.

I feel sorry for those that went to the Withdean and suffered for 10 years. Move to a new stadium and you get 12000 plastics turning up.

I'm sure we'll get our own share of plastics should we move. Though personally, I like where we are. At least it's our shithole.

So you'll be quite happy to have 7,000 fans rattling round that stadium then? Because heaven forbid you get any new fans and you actually come close to half filling it. Or is it that all the Palace fans that aren't going to Selhurst now are actually plastics too?

 

[Napper]

but will they manage to bring more than 500 this time

 

[bhaexpress]

Interesting how some Palace fans think go on about the cost of The Amex. What is more interesting is that Selhurst Park is not supposed to be used for construction. I remember a lot of them going on about how Selhurst could not be sold off for redevelopment when they were trying to wriggle out of their mess a year ago. The question is, supposing they are allowed to move to the Crystal Palace Stadium ? They will end up renting it like we used to at Withdean and Bromley Council won't do that on the cheap. Even so if Selhurst can't be used for redevelopement what is it actually worth ?

As it so happens the Athletics Stadium has 16000 seats with 9000 covered. It can be expanded pretty easily to 22000 though.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Lol, the percentage increase in your away following at withdean to away following at Amex will probably be larger than our home support percentage increase !

Idiot. Plastic away support on your cup final at Amex this year then.

Errr,

O

K.


That's pretty interesting logic. I'm sure that having 25,000 posts *could indicate* a few things too, but ho hum.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

They'll be relegated next season. Guaranteed. Flirted with relegation two seasons on the trot, a shambles on and off the field. Six points to us
