4th round at home to Man City? Well, Palace fans weren't interest in that - and yet you seem to be worried what they think about us.

Just over 10k home fans. I don't think they could ridicule our support do you?

I don't think people get how bad this is going to look for us.

A half empty stadium against our arch rivals. It shouldn't matter if it's in the Cup.

I reckon more fans of other clubs will be watching this one on the TV too because of the VAR, and they are going to think we are small time.

List all the excuses you want. It's not going to make a difference to them.

Perhaps 10,000 of our fans live over 50 miles away, and so can't get to the game. If that is the case, then this has been a total over reaction on my part.

Why do you give a shit about what people you’ll never meet and have no influence upon your life think about you, your football club and/or you club’s fan base?

You think they'd get 25/6k if it was at their place ?

That's the last 4 league attendances at selhurst against us and that includes a playoff semi :)

Yes, but we all know that football fan's minds don't work like that. For the record, I think something like 22,000 would be a good crowd for this game. But we are going to be nowhere near that.

Biggest playoff semi I had was when Dunk scored against Wednesday.

Whatever happens, it is still not clear to many of us why we should care about what other fans think of us. If it was Leeds against Middlesbrough, and there were 10,000 empty seats (there likely would be) and we slagged them off here on NSC and other fans on their forums as well, what acually would have happened in the world that would change anything? When our ground was stolen and we played at Gillingham and the Withdean, people thought we were small time, it may have been true, but SO WHAT, it did not matter one jot.

Why the feck are people getting so wound up about our attendance and how we will look to the tv viewers.

People can reel off stats and theories about Palace's shite plastic support, this is a thread about ours, and what is going to be a woeful attendance against our biggest rivals. I don't give a toss how crap their gate was against Man City in the cup, I care that our stadium is going to be half empty tomorrow, when we can sell out against Stoke on the same night of the week.

Bingo.

It's on BT Sport. I bet less than 500k watch it.

Is 50 miles the allowed limit? I live 46.9 miles away. Awkward.

Most are not bothered....just a few, others are pointing out the fact Palace are probably not so well supported as us in recent years.

Because that's football! I thought all Albion fans thought the same. Obviously not.

We think in very different ways my friend.

Blame TV football not the fans that are not attending.
This is exactly what TV companies that show football want, they have created the armchair fan and they are getting it.

See Sir Albions post then Sir. I believe we would get more than 10k against City.

Yes, I think you're correct.

But what I'm saying is, is that we've built this rivalry up, and it really isn't going to live up to it. I just think the whole rivalry thing should come to an end because it is a joke.

The blame is with both, if you want to blame.

If we were at the AMEX now - recreating the Sunday St Patrick's Day Massacre - then all would be well.

Sadly we blew it with scheduling a Monday evening kickoff, based on the contrived excuse that because there is engineering works on 1 of the 2 rail lines, then a Goon Express after the game wasn't "possible".
