So you average 14k per game, including away supporters, you fill on average 55% of your 'stadium' (for want of a better word), and you get just over 20k v West Ham. No plastics there then?

Thanks BHA
shame to see your post has been turned into yet another attendance thread though
Yep, this attendance crap makes the people who keep bringing it up looks rather pathetic. Never mind the fact that despite Palace having less resources that us they are doing better frankly if the best that Brighton fans can do is to make out that we're in some way superior because we have bigger crowds then the likes of Sheffield Wednesday are better than Brighton as they get bigger crowds.
Oh yes, I suppose my dad might be bigger but I can't tell from his ashes.
Not sure. What football team do you support?

Not the one infested by moon-pointing, feral swamp donkeys.
Don't get me wrong - I'm adding my 'well done' to Crystal Palace for their progression into the League Cup QFs, and to all the moon-pointing, feral swamp donkeys who follow them.
Thanks. We always followed your progress in the Johnstones Paint Trophy

Ta. We didn't.

And we applaud your one and only trophy The Zenith Data Systems Cup - well done.
you're either seriously deluded, or just bitter. When you manage a gate near 20k, it's your loyal fans (that aren't loyal enough to turn up more than 5 times a season), but when anyone else's fans turn up, they must be plastic.Thanks. We were also distraught at Smiths effort in the FA Cup Final. If only you had won it.

To be fair, suppose we continue with this modest vein of form for the rest of the season or, perish the thought, go down, how many people will renew their season tickets ? Following a stella season of championship winning and domination added to the Zeitgeist of a brand spanking new stadium, seven figure signings and The Championship how many people have jumped on the bandwagon ? It is a fair question.

If Brighton fans were denying that Palace have played better than us so far this season, the whole board would disagree with them - when you say something stupid, people react to it. So when a few Palace numpties try to defend the difference in attendance by labelling all other clubs' fans as plastic, then you're going to get posts pointing out the bullshit.shame to see your post has been turned into yet another attendance thread though

Bhaexpress you're not such a bad bloke afterall.
Yes it is a fair question. Some people with tickets are on the bandwagon. But equally there are plenty of people like me who don't have an ST this year (have in the past) and want to go to games (not on the bandwagon). So it's a fair question we don't know the answer to, but I'll put money on us having higher attendances next season than Palace have had so for this season. I would also point out that we sold our season tickets before we'd won the league, and long before the 7 figure signings.

Yep, Easter, Parr, Moxey and Ramage are all subs in the league, even Ambrose has struggled to make the starting 11 this season.
That'd be like calling Hoskins, Buckey, LuaLua etc reserves, when they're not.

Can we leave the attendance thing now? It's been done to death and is very dull. I think any Albion fan with half a brain will have a grudging respect for what's happening at Palace. For once, they seem to be trying to do things the right way and it appears, as an outsider, the Palace board is running the club well. They're not spending money they haven't got and backed a young, intelligent manager who played for the club even when they nearly went down. Further, their current good run of form owes much to devloping their own talent via their academy & then giving their young players like Zaha, Scannell, Williams et al chances to establish themselves in the first team which they've done because they are very good players. That has got to be the right way to do it and they deserve credit for that. The challange for Palace is can they maintain their current form and keep their best young players?

If we can it will be an exciting year or two, much will depend on whether these youngsters have Palace at heart unlike Bostock where is he know?.

Genuine question. Why do you hate Southampton so much? Or should I say 'Scumhampton'
Well long story short. There are many reasons. Although the main one I guess would be a few of my family support them and had to put up with years of torment from them regarding SSC. Also, Adkins. I do not like the guy one bit. Don't get me wrong they have some good players but thats as far as praising them go.
