If palace get relegated, and the Albion have an adequate season, this place will be pretty much a palace free zone.
What's not to love.

Why the hell would you want your big rival to be in a league where they would be deemed as successful? Ask any man u fan if they'd like city to be in a lower Division and I'd bet most would love it.
No, i won't be satisfied until palace are in the Croydon league or whatever version of non league football they so richly deserve.
To be fair, Hull don't deserve to be in the premier league after finishing a long way behind Brighton last season.
Fair point we must now compare ourselves with man utd fans

Rubbish! In September 1962 we had just been relegated from Division Two and Palace had spent the previous season in the Division Three. Palace didn't get to the top flight for another seven years (and it took us rather longer!)....................................................

The game at the end is sort of known as the game that started the rivalry as Palace had just come down from the Top Flight,it was first game of the season and they had a large following.

Get relegated. But I don't think they will sadly.
Even if Hull win today and beat them next week, I don't see Swansea getting the 7 points they need to overtake Palace.
