eddie izzard CPFC associate director

[Jesus Gul]

Don't forget Jo Brand.

Crystal Palace, an endless source of comedy.

Ronnie Corbett and Nookie Bear too

 

[See-Goals]

And they call us gay!!


All together now....
"Directors a tranny, your directors a tranny,directors a tranny, your directors a tranny"

I like to think the vast majority of Albion fans are better than that.

His sketch about Darth Vader in the Death Star canteen is brilliant.

When I was young I thought the reason I though David Jenson was a prize wanker was that he was on the board at Palace. Eddie Izzard joins (sort of) and I still love him.

Therefore we can conclude that David Jenson is actually just a wanker...

You must be reasonably young then, when I was younger David "kid" jenson was QPR fan

As a Bexhill lad, he really should have wound up a Brighton fan, but never mind.

He is not only from Bexhill, as am I, but a distant relative. But the ****er is a traitor as far as I am concerned.

This

[MENTION=24517]Silk[/MENTION] - if you are a relative don't you know why he supports Palace then, tbh whilst its a shame he wasn't converted it an untirely reasonable explanation -

My dad goes to every home match and me and my brother go along too. We sit in the stand where my uncle used to sit. My aunt and uncle used to live across from the ground. We've sat there since 1969.

So what is the difference between his support of Palace and FBS's support of us

He's a real palace fan, FBS used to be palace then switched . Not complaining but thats the difference.

Bless you, I'm 35! Early 80's onwards. Maybe he got sucked into the 'Team of the 80's' tag...

 

[Monkey Man]

Isn't Mark Thomas a Palace fan? I always assume he is, which is partly why I don't like him.

Izzard is a Palace fan because his whole family are. They have had ST's for many years. Eddie has just bought a very expensive one (£25k) to become an "associate director".

Here's a slightly more comprehensive list. Stephen Grant Pro FA football clubs and their pro comedian supporters

I must say it is very brave of him in this day and age to come out as a Palace fan after years of ridicule for wearing a sash.

 

[Surf's Up]

"An Associate Directorship includes full hospitality in the Boardroom at every home game for two guests and is a fantastic way to enjoy football. As well as meeting Directors from other clubs it is a great way of business networking and entertaining. Packages are still available for the 2012/13 season. For further details contact blah blah."

So any old cock in a frock can become an AD at the 'Arse - my, my, how standards have fallen (were they ever high? - Ed)

 

[Notters]

Ronnie Corbett and Nookie Bear too

...and Neil Morissey.

 

[lawros left foot]

Obviously, the comedy value and raw material gathered from the inbred support and football played at Selhurst Park is worth the shame and embaressment of admitting to the odd visit

I heard Adrian Durham on Talksport tonight having a pop at CPFC calling them a 'joke club' for appointing Izzard as a Director which brought a smile to my face especially when you consider the bigoted neanderthals among their fans.

It then occured to me that back in the days when it was fashionable for footie clubs to have celebrities among their Directors we had the late great Norman Wisdom. I'm sure someone has previously posted photos of the great man on the pitch at The Goldstone.

I seem to recall that others included Tommy Trinder at Fulham and Eric Morcambe at Luton, no doubt there were many more. I think NW kept his yacht at Shoreham harbour (this was before Brighton Marina was built).

Maybe someone can clarify whether Norman Wisdom was an 'Associate' or 'Full' Director.
