That looks like a dream come true. It would be a shame if something went wrong and they had to play there for say a period of twelve or so years.

The difference is we would turn up every week, unlike some I could mention

I would love to see if this was the case.
I doubt you'd even get 10k for matches, but on the other hand the stadium does look to be in much better condition than Selhurst.

Yes, it would indeed be a shame. But obviously the mighty Palace would pack it full of diehard fanatics every week, and never, ever, have a single seat empty...That looks like a dream come true.

ees complicated no?

Ha ha ha. Deluded.
It's unlikely you'd get as many supporters at a stadium like the Withdean as we did (given similar divisions and results).The difference is we would turn up every week, unlike some I could mention

See, this is quite a silly statement isn't it, given that only about 12,000 of you are still bothering to turn up at Selhurst?
You'll drop to about 10,000 at the NSC, and you'll blame the lack of atmosphere, distance from the pitch, etc, when really you'll know its because of the shit football being served up by Dour Dougie.
Then, when 15,000 or more bother to come along when you're at your shiny new ground, you'll tell us they are all die-hards, who couldn't make it to the NSC, and not in any way shape or form 'plastic'.

It is actually. Avec (who do the new Palace kit) are a Nike brand, as are Umbro and a few others. Half the kits in football these days seem to be Nike in some form of another.

Give them time, I'm sure they can ruin it.

See above. Avec, who do next season's Palace kit, is a brand of Justsport, the company who run your club shop. Justsport is wholly owned by Nike. Plus ca change. I assume Nike are rolling out these other brands like Avec in the hope they aren't as tarnished with the whole sweatshop controversy that has long dogged the main Nike brand.
I imagine they'd have a lot more than that. As a temporary stadium it looks pretty good, and I imagine their fans will be in good spirits if Selhurst is being re-built.This would be brilliant. What excuses would they serve up when getting 7k crowds

That could work. A whole new range of Buy One Get One Free offers on season tickets, and 500 Nectar Points every time Winifred Zaha hits the deck.

Sounds bizarre. Will they sell sufficient additional shirts because it's Nike ?

Yeah but I bet if we played you there we would sell out our 700 ticket allocation, unlike some I could mention

SLIGHTLY outlandish statement considering the current state of your attendances
when i say "outlandish", i actually mean "stupid"

Possibly - a lot of idiots getting excited about the Nike brand on our message boards, but also a fair few saying they boycott Nike because of sweatshops. Be interesting to see what the benefits/disadvantages are. They run about twenty team's club shops already, so presumably we researched how well those clubs have fared sales-wise before committing? As I understand it our club shop manager and most (maybe all) of the staff are keeping their jobs, they're just employed by Nike now rather than CAFC. Maybe there's some tax loophole involved or something that makes it financially worthwhile for all parties?

Its worthwhile to the football club , they don't have to shell out wages for the staff. Nike might be handing over a % on sales in lieu of rent plus being responsible for the upkeep of the shop.
