Palace benefited from a load of teams that just didn't want to take the opportunity that was in front of them. Everyone bottled because it was a feeble league. Proved by the fact that a very mediocre side won the play-offs.
What's confusing is that if you are a season ticket holder but do not want to buy a ticket for ever home cup game, do you still get the chance to buy your own seat or is it offered to Gold/Platinum people first. Which would mean that there is a chance that season ticket holders could not book...
But Brov - we're not talking about who will win the League. We're discussing the relative strength of the league v. last year. We can make an assessment of that right now - based on comparing it to the competition last season can't we? The results yesterday - or next week - have very little...
Not convinced it is a tree. looks like it might be a very large Mahonia - which is a shrub. This one may have been allowed to grow on. But as said - need to see the leaves (and flowers) a little more closely. Not a very pretty thing is it...
My assessment - and those of many on this thread - is not based on our result, it's based on the relative strength of the opposition v. last season. Playing a few games will show who is right but won't change my belief that this is going to be a tougher division.
I've been saying for weeks that this is going to be a tougher league than last season. Palace got a huge slice of luck going up when they did - and will pay dividends for them for years to come. Conversely, missing out last season will affect us very badly in my view. However, I'm really...

Anxious. Excited. Optimistic. Pessimistic. Worried about how a heavy defeat could affect team and fans. Nervous that good win will set unrealistic expectations. Expecting a draw. Predicting 3-2. No more chat from Oscar - we'll be judging him at 5pm today. No idea where my head is at. Really...
Interested to know what it is you have seen that makes you think this. I haven't been to any pre-season so what are the changes that you have spotted that make you optimistic?
