Palace Fans' Goal Music Embarrassment - Read All About It!

[The Large One]

nice too see you now use the word plastic, just repeating what people have called you (i.e plastic) is a bit childish is it not?

poor banter be original

A post evidently made with a total lack of self-awareness.

Pitiful.

As we all know, our average gate was far higher than theirs - 20,029 compared to just 15,219

But the median gate figures tell the true story here. For those that don't know, the median gate is the middle gate when all gates are lined up in order of size, so will tell you the crowd to expect if you were at a "typical" game. Our median gate is 20,223, which is actually higher than the mean average, but ultimately very similar. A standard deviation would prove the point better, but it is true to say that our gates hardly varied all season.

Anyway, it is amusing to see Palace's median gate is just 14,766. Not only is this MILES less than ours, but is also significantly below their mean average gate, to the tune of 500 people. In other words, you'd only expect to see 14,766 at a run of the mill Palace game, and the average is only pulled up to something approaching respectability by the large number of plastic Billy Big Game types in their ranks and the abilility to accommodate thousands of away fans.

Nice statistical information, although no doubt their response will be "I nicked a High Deviation TV in last year's riots not a Standard Deviation one"

Amusingly, several Palace fans on the BBS have now spotted this thread, and are cringing with embarrassment about it:

To make matters worse there's even a four page thread on NSC ripping us for using goal music. When it comes to agreeing with something over there surely we have to reconsider??

For me it's about showing a bit of class and dignity. Blaring out a piece of music year after year which drowns out crowd noise is cheap and very nasty.

See, there are a few (very rare) smart ones. Although another one goes and spoils the illusion by suggesting a countdown to kick-off like they've been having at Euro 2012

cheap and very nasty.

It all seems appropriate when you read that.

I just want to keep bouncing this thread forever. Plastic schmastic.

This topic is brilliant - made my day along with the Ipswich topic !!

When we had those threads before the Amex opened it was like 90 against 10 for, might be event more against then that.

Flags at the first league game at the AMEX is plastic but goal music isn't... interesting

There's a distinctive difference between celebrating your return to the 2nd tier and into a new home at your first league game, than celebrating with music after every goal.

Indeed. The club wanted us to bring the flags back to use again, but fortunately no one was stupid enough.

We did have that awful moment in the Liverpool game when they put words up on the screen, telling fans how to cheer. Fortunately everyone on NSC was pissed off about it, and it never happened again - pride restored.

Aye, I noticed they never did that again and thank god. The fans knew the words anyway, but at least the club realised that!
