Is it true that Palace didn't sell out all of their allocation ?
It appears so. According to the BBS they had Utd fans in the Palace end.

Superb support from us as normal, Utd's was what I thought it would be, touristy and corporate.

Don't kid yourself. Everything about that final was touristy, corporate and absolutely soulless. The BBC trying far too hard to bring back cup final day, the evening kick off, the terrible pre-match showbiz guff, delaying the kickoff so that Tinie Tempah could provide a cut price version of the Superbowl half-time show, messing up Abide With Me and the national anthem, your fans waving sparkly wrapping paper flags, those weird black garbed kids who seem to think that football is just about their choreography, the banner with the incomprehensible message, a tedious game of football with only one side wanting to play, Pardew's dance becoming an embarrassing display of hubris in record time.

At 'Boro, Wednesday and at the Amex, we have been involved in three games that displayed the natural power of football crowds. Although we didn't get the results we wanted, our club and its fans can be proud to have been part of these spectacles. Yesterday was the antithesis of this. You were a large part of an event that will be remembered as an embarrassment to the English game.

This all over! We have thousands of true supporters, they have 20 gimps in a corner with a drum.

Really is cr@p isn't he? Think he might have had slight touch in the build up to the first goal, but it was obviously flukey.

I didn't say he was crap, I said his tournament record is bad and I don't see where he fits into this England team.

Nice to know our cup final meant so much to you lot, it was quite gutting to lose but not so unexpected.
We were in good spirits and made loads of noise, you know that stuff that you only managed at one game this season, Its called atmosphere. Even then it was after Middlesbrough and SW showed you how it should be done.
Lingard scored a goal, nice to see you all crowing about that. Lingard definitely a Premier league player, must have been good for his career to get some game time at lower league clubs.
All in all it has been a disappointing end to the season for us, but at least we are in the Premier league earning another 100+ million, whilst Tony has to open his cheque book again to keep you afloat. Saw a Charlton fan crowing on here as well, enjoy Division three :lol:
Anyway heres to next season and another BHA failure :vuvu: :vuvu:

Yep who all miraculously appeared when Uncle Tony built the Amex. The new Brighton fans are like Magpies, only attracted to shiny things.

We keep telling our fans to get the atmosphere going at home games, just like Palace fans do at home and help the team to keep winning and gaining lots points. We should be like them and make our home ground a fortress, Oh hold on somethings wrong there??

Everyone laughs at your ultras eurotrash shit. Call that an atmosphere?

Keep earning your money, I'm sure the people and organisations you shafted during your 2 administrations are happy for you!

Yes, look at the bigger picture, I am sure you will have a cracking season in the Prem if you can just keep up the fantastic win ratio you have already for 2016, of 1 game in 10

You made a lot of noise when you scored. Before and after that, especially when the Mancs scored-you were silent. When they scored their second the sobbing was loud. The atmosphere was so shit for most of the game I thought the sound on my tv had been muted.

I think we took more fans 200 miles to Cardiff for a League 1 play off final than you took 18 miles to Wembley for the F.A. cup final, we were always here, just needed a Stadium big enough.

Your season has been shocking and luckily you ran out of games before your plummet down the table ended up with you back in the championship. 1 win in 2016 and you were all clinging to the hope you could lift the cup but your shambles of a squad did not even turn up and you embarrassed yourselves in front of millions. The worst United side for 20 years playing with ten men and you still could not beat them.

Best part amongst the euphoria of a cup final is you stupidly awarded that utter tool of a manager you have a new deal almost guaranteeing your relegation

Meanwhile in the championship we went a whole season only losing 5 matches with highs lows and some of the best football we have ever played by a squad with a real connection with the fans

Bank the money enjoy your shallow existence in the premier league with that clown at the healm you deserve each other

Meanwhile leave us and the rest of the footballing community to continue laughing at your shambolic and tin pot showing at Wembley
