Be honest, surely you don't think there is any real chance of Palace playing in League 1 or 2?

Are you in west Sussex Icy Gull? I would guess so. For me, and probably loads of other east Sussex Albion fans Southampton just do not register. The sheer distance makes a difference. From where i am in Eastbourne i am approx 60 miles from palace but almost 90 from Southampton. It's about an hour's difference in the car. I don't know ANY Southampton fans this way but i do, unfortunately know some palace.

On the contrary - there is a very real chance. Palace will seemingly be cutting their cloth to suit their modest means over the next few seasons (which is to be applauded).This means you'll be around the bottom half of the table. A poor run of form down there can be terminal. Let's not forget that twice in the last 4 seasons, you've only confirmed your Championship status in the last two weeks of the season.
If you think there is 'no real chance' then you are seriously blind.

Not League 2 no, but you are deluding yourself if you think that League 1 is completely out of the question.

Do i detect a smattering of irony?
From Seaside? I wouldn't have thought so, I don't think he is that intelligent.

Ummm how can I put this and it's not just me saying it for the hell of it but yeah I can see it happening. Whilst your owners seem to be doing the right thing, there will be some pain attached, a spell in Division 3 is certainly a real possibilty. Can YOU not see it??

Fair point but it's more Pompey than Saints around here ( Worthing) from my take. I just think we seem to be on a similar rise as Southampton but maybe a couple of years behind. I'm pretty sure most of us got a special buzz from the victory in Gus' 1st game and the point in the year we won the Championship and I'd say most were pretty chuffed with the 3-0 at the Amex. All those games had a great atmosphere. I can see the rivalry becoming more intense and who are Saints gonna be rivals with now that Pompey seem to be on the brink? Nothing will replace the rivalry with Palace but I can dislike Southampton without trying very hard tbh

There is a very strong chance , CPFC2010 are running the football club as a business unlike previous owners who thought they could spend their way out of trouble until the money ran out. The vast majority of Palace fans are starting to smell the coffee and realise their club cannot survive in the long term by losing a couple of mill each season.

I think the Palace strategy does make an element of economic sense, but there is a Catch-22 element in that they want to increase the fanbase, but to do that they need to invest in a product that people will come and watch.
I believe the Palace chairman said it will be a five year plan, and presume he intends to make them more watchable incrementally, or as they say in Croydon "Lidl by Lidl"

Why are the colours over there so ugly? It makes it hard to read. I know the club colours thing, but you can only take it so far.

About time we found new rivals, how about West Ham! Palace are history!
