Reminds me of a line from Red Dwarf:
" Now call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit it hard, and we hit it fast, with a major, and I mean major, leaflet campaign."
You got it. Definetly a Wolfie Smith feel about their efforts so far.

Aite everyone... ain't been on here for a while but had a quick browse on here and some of you are clearly misinformed about the fact we are apparently bending over and taking it... that's something you're more accustomed to 
It's a tricky one, because we don't actually know who we're supposed to be protesting against, but we've begun and campaign in the last 10 days or so against PriceWaterhouseCoopers (the ground's administrators), Lloyds bank (the main creditor from the ground) and also to local MPs, councillors etc. trying to get clarification on our situation.
The council have said that there will not be any residential/business development on Selhurst Park while Crystal Palace exist, in any form. They will only allow development on the site if we have a new ground within the borough of Croydon or near to the borough of Croydon.
We've started the offensive on PWC through an email/letter/petition campaign and we've also received coverage in the Croydon Advertiser, the South London Press and also on BBC London radio and 5 Live. We know that PWC couldn't care less about the club, but they are very publicity aware and they regard themselves as a great ambassador within the game... so we're trying to apply the pressure that way. There's also a protest planned outside their headquarters in central London (this Tuesday being mooted) with local and national press being invited to take pictures etc. The response so far has been pretty standard and non-committal. But at least they are aware that a protest will happen. We are hoping they will want to avoid the negative-publicity and wrath of not just a football club, but the true fans nationwide if have helped to instigate the death of a football club as a result of greed.
Lloyds have offered some lovely soundbites, saying they want to help Palace etc. but they are the main creditors on the ground. The pressure has begun on them as well.
I take great offence to the fact some people have said we are taking no action. That's disrespectful. We have some of the most passionate fans around, and you also fail to mention we raised over a million quid last time we were in administration. Our current situation is complicated in the sense that the whole situation is a massive game of poker, with a well-loved and well-known club dangling in the middle along with its loyal fans.
Dismissing what another Palace fan has said, if we did have a Fans United day, you'd be more than welcome to help out from my point of view. Our rivalry is bitter but at the same time it's part of being a Palace fan. Football as an entity is more important than us or you or any other club. If there is a chance for solidarity, we must all surely take it.
Check out Holmesdale online or the BBS if you want to see our campaigns so far (under the titles 'Putting pressure on PWC' I believe), and perhaps you might even join in. Ta.

you dont need our help..... not if you have the Croydon Advertiser
Can Palace fans read ? Anyway you'd have thought they'd be happy if Selhurst became a caravan site.
Obviously without you as you have never been to selhurst.

Sadly the scumsucking pikeys won't be relegated this time. Wednesday have been too crap, and West Brom don't need to care at palace, so probably won't be putting their backs into teaching them a football lesson.
With 4 points behind, the final day's match will be a worthless exercise.
(PLEASE let me be wrong)

there is a reason they are called the Nigels. They have a reputation of being sleepy fans. A Brighton campaign with goalposts going home with the fans, fireworks, marches ect ect just wouldn't be palace.

I guess they're just not that bothered.
With Croydon Athletic winning promotion this season they'll still have a team to support if Palace go tits up

Hello Nigel, still obsessed with us I see. Dont you have other things to do like arrange a protest. Get hold of a copt of More than Ninety Minutes and you can learn how to support a football club.
