Again, I know there are people who can't make it.

a) The fans who turned up wanted to be there, not because the money guilted them into it.

b) This is an important match simply because it's Palace imo.

No, again, even though mid-week matches are inconvenient for me, I went to Stoke because I'd already paid for it.

Albion v Stoke in the PL is more important to me than Albion v Palace in the FA Cup.

(West Brom away is more important too. And I'm going to that.)

Completely agree, it’s pathetic. And kind of backs up everything Palace day about our support.

Palace have either not sold out their 2,000 tickets or have only just managed to do so today. They had to keep adding new phases with fewer loyalty points because those stated when tickets first went on sale didn't buy all the tickets. When the ticketing details were announced, they were in uproar as they could easily fill the 4,500 tickets they were due under Cup rules.

So, pathetic or otherwise, Palace fans seem to feel pretty much the same about this one: some can be arsed, many can't.

Genuine question. If we beat Palace and draw Man City at Home will you go to that?

I've no idea. I'll judge each game on merit. I was one of the few who bought a ticket AND went to Bournemouth away in the League Cup - that one appealed. Arsenal at home in the Cup a few years ago didn't appeal so I didn't go. I have no idea what the magic ingredient is that makes me want to go or not but some games have it and some don't. Often the midweek games in obscure Northern places are the ones I will bother with - Rotherham away last season for example.

Seemly some albion fan on twitter is ashamed and embarrassed of the supporters who are not going. Bless

I'm almost tempted to go tomorrow night. Not to watch the game but to give a hug to all those feeling embarrassed about it all, poor lambs.

And yet over 28,000 turned up for Stoke.

Oh, that's different because it was before Christmas, already paid for blah, blah, blah.

23,000 had "free" tickets. And the league is more important.

The number of threads we've seen on here over the years because "Club X forum are chatting shit about us" or "Pundit doesn't give us credit" or "Random Players doesn't think we'll go up" suggests people do care though.

It all comes from a place of caring about the club we support. It's a shame we're all so comfortable being rude to each other for thinking in different ways.

I'm not being rude - I'm very much live and let live. But I don't care what other fans think about Albion fans. If nothing else, experience suggests there's absolutely nothing I can do to change their views.

We wanted to take a family member who had not been to the Amex before but we're not able to buy a ticket as he has no purchasing history. It is therefore even more difficult for the club to sell the remaining tickets as they can only fish in a pool that is restricted.

There's a good 10,000 or so season ticket holders/points harvesters who might let you buy a ticket using their account.

Do you know a season ticket holder that can buy a guest ticket for them?

Be honest, you’re still thinking about going aren’t you :)
