It’s a bit of a throwback, tribal and a bit of aggro, but it’s all a bit panto compared to going to games years ago.
It’s my daughter’s favourite fixture, she loves all the theatre around it.

I do find it utterly amazing that any Premier League club considers Will Hughes of Premier League level.

(This post will NOT haunt me tomorrow afternoon)

The hurt of losing and the euphoria or winning. Its what it's all about. Yes it's a bit of a ballache travel wise BUT it's only a little vocal argy bargy most of the time.

It’s nothing compared to the games in the 70s , when there was lots of agro , it’s like going to the theatre these days compared to the old days

It is, but 1500 season ticket holders not showing up is pathetic. Yes yes, i know some will have good reasons. But a lot won't. Flakey fanbase.

Agreed. The fairweather fans deciding to watch on TV because the can't handle a little jeopardy in a game and some panto. Let's be honest, if they came, they probably wouldn't contribute to the atmosphere and would leave on 80mins anyways..! For me, it is the first fixture I look for when they are released. A fixture with history to it.


P.s. before anyone jumps on me. I know there will be some ST with valid reasons for absence...

I’ve been asked to fly out for work tomorrow at fairly short notice so mine will be going on later, making it 1501.

I can’t lie, I’m gutted and relieved in equal measure. It manages to be my favourite and least favourite game of the season equally somehow, which I know sounds mental but perhaps understandable too.

I hate Palace games because the drunken aggression is still there, and some from our own fans to each other.
Sorry, I know it’s old age, but I can’t cope with it, so have put our tickets on the exchange, which have already sold. I can watch at home, on the tv, behind a cushion, and not get barged or sworn at.
I also don’t get too cold, having to take painkillers for my arthritis.
I‘m not looking for sympathy, just being realistic.

Same re the arthritis, this weather is a bastard for it :down:

I’ll forgive you if you can confirm there is a deputy ESU cameraman in your absence.

I always go, but dislike all the hassle.

I know a few people that have given up on the away game because of this, and now they are starting to give up on the home game.

Unfortunately while fans from both sides look to turn the clock back to the hooligan days they won't be tempted back.

If Palace were relegated, I'm sure many wouldn't miss the rivalry.

All things being equal, ie setting aside "awkward" kick-off times / holiday season etc, is Palace the least attractive / least in-demand game of the season?

I ask having checked the ticketing site and, only adding up very roughly, there are in excess of 1,500 tickets available to buy on the ticket exchange.

Is the supposed hassle factor just so great that a load of people just can't be arsed?

Working otherwise I’d have loved to have gone…….(I still might….)…..

Makes perfect sense. The aggro and the potential pain of defeat all make it a game to dread but the payoff when it all comes together? That 4-1 earlier this year was joyous.
