CPFC and money

[Triggaaar]

Not true. Away fans can post on the BBS other than the away end, but need to keep it clean.

That's nonsense. If a Brighton fan never swore on your main board, they'd still be sent to the away end if they argued with Palace fans.

Clearly it's not my place to suggest you could have a similar board, but it may placate the 'not another palace thread' crowd.

Yes it would please some NSC members. Some like that Palace fans can post here, others would prefer they couldn't.

Have Brighton gone into administration twice - didn't think so. When your club has robbed local businesses twice, there's no point whining that people remember it.

My main board is the Holmesdale Online, not the BBS. We don't have a vice verser thread.
Has your club never knocked any business in the last 10 years, i'm intrigued? I'm sure some months back one of your knowledgable and respected posters' put up some financial figures regarding BHAFC 'unpaid bills'.

Not in the last 10 years we haven't

No.

No.

Well that's not what one of 'your own' posted some months back, saying along the lines of, 'we should be careful of slating Palace as we've done the same thing'! Doesn't fill me with pride and as a person, i would feel guilty as hell going into admin'. I wonder whether you would say the same to a friend of yours had they had the unfortunate experience?
After this season you may be able to slate, Birmingham, Leicester and a whole host of others too, or maybe just us, as per!!

Leicester went into administration with debts of £60 million, which is how much their stadium cost to build. That’s a strange coincidence. Their debts were written off and they suffered no points deduction.

Well if they said that they were completely wrong. When Archer was in charge he ripped off some local businesses, and the one he ripped off the most was BHAFC.

Some clubs are unfortunate, others do it deliberately, profiting at the expense of others. You point out that there's not a similar thread on your forum, but why would there be, that would make no sense given that we've not been in administration.

I don’t blame any Palace fans (except Messrs Goldberg and Jordan) for their having been in administration twice. However, it’s a different matter when they crow about how much better than us they have performed, but fail to take comparative financial practice into account.

We crow about how much better we have performed than Brighton as - let's face it - as football fans of rival teams that is pretty much ALL it should be about.

Bragging rites are not earned based on the rival clubs balance sheets. And you call us Nigels?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Head to head we still have more wins under the belt.

At last a relevant retort. We are football supporters not financial analysts.

What are the actual stats grimsby? How far away are we from drawing level?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

As we cannot call you Google any-more can we say Jeremys instead ?

36-34 at present (info taken from holmesdale.net for those insistent on a source )

whatever you like - your prerogative. I won't pretend to get that reference though.

So we're not going to be able to over take for a couple of seasons at least. Bummer.

I thought it was 36-34 at the beginning of the season, no ?

So where does buying success through a sugar daddy sit in financial practice ? We can crow plenty my friend because we have built up from nothing to a better team than yours.

Most relevant and to the point post in the whole thread!!!!!!!!!!

you tell us, with your past two sugar daddies who led you to bankruptcy, and the current ones putting their hand in their pocket to keep the ship afloat? im not sure what your point is keep on about a sugar daddy, nearly all football clubs have always had a wealthy benefactor behind them. at least ours is paying for the infrastructure, giving us a long term stability and security.

However, you will know as well as I do, that many of the Crystal Palace posters on here are not interested in anything other than passive....and sometimes downright....trolling. They diminish much of the enjoyment .

Just a thought but maybe, just maybe there wouldn't be half the Palace on here if your lot didn't start so many threads about us, it is utter OBSESSION. Even if our kitman missed a days work with flu i would expect a thread about it on here. And yes, there is a level of irony with myself posting on a Brighton site so pot, kettle, black etc, but what i'm saying is true. Compare the amount of threads that Palace fans start about Brighton on the BBS or Holmesdale and it's minimal. This obviously steams from your fans thinking that just because you now have a better stadium and more 'fans' than us that you automatically should be streets ahead of us on the pitch. That's not happening though and the frustration is obviously getting to some hence all these negative threads about us to make themselves feel better inside.
