[Albion] FA Cup draw round 3 - home v Palace

[Mackenzie]

This.

I’d suggest this was the tamest game between our clubs for many a year, problem wise. All of the shit behaviour of our fans was pretty much contained within the confines of the Amex.

I’m genuinely gobsmacked that some of you think this game should be ‘bubbled’.

I’m even more gobsmacked that any football supporter could support this kind of abuse of our rights just because we attend a game of football. I guess those proposing the game should be ‘bubbled’ don’t go to away games.

Well if they do decide to make it a bubble match, I don’t think the Palace fans can complain too much. Act like animals, get treated like animals.

edit: The animals who jumped the turnstiles not the decent everyday Palace fans.

First time since '76, yes? Should be a TV game given that the broadcasters have already made segments about Mullery's tantrum.

Radio Five Live just mentioned this second in the cup draws on the 8 o clock news.

Pleased with this.

Hopefully the police will finally realize the folly of playing these games in the evening. This one needs to be Sunday lunchtime.

Or even Saturday lunchtime, problems after the game in the town are not our reseponsibility and we will have no influence on any action taken by the police, who can be as strict as they wish. If they are really concerned: as I said earlier a non stop train East Croydon to Falmer and the tickets to the ground distributed on the train with no other tickets available. You could have 2 or 3 ticket check points before the ground so anybody without a ticket doesnt even get to the ground or anywhere near.

Hopefully the police and HF have learned lessons from the last game.
Should get 4500 tickets for this.

Hopefully they will all be banned....

Completely bored with Palace and their rabble support. Couldn’t give a shit about them anymore. They’re consigned to the past as far as I’m concerned.

Unless there are at least 15 loyalty points on the go I shan't bother.......

 

[Motogull]

I loved the fact that Hoddle and Jenas both knew they had drawn a proper big one out.

 

[AZ Gull]

I can’t see too many people getting worked up by an Albion Res v Palace Res match.

Apart from the few hundred Palace "supporters" who descended on a Palace v Albion U-18s match a few years ago, perhaps.

But if it's a draw then we've got another evening game. Yikes!

Wish we could bet on this one !

 

[The Gem]

Not been this excited since........

Give them full allocation, 3pm K/O, the OB look after much higher profile derby's than this one.

It used to be much worse than last Tuesday.

Stop being so lazy copper.

FA Cup draw round 3

Looking forward to it, I'd like to see them get the full allocation (as we'd expect to get up there), the game played on the Saturday at 3.00pm, Sussex police make a better job of this one (lesson will have been learnt) and a fantastic atmosphere at the Amex.

My only worry, who will WE get in the fourth round

Isn't that another reason to put out a full team?

I can't believe all these calls for bubble games and banning away fans after last week. I have to say that last Tuesday had the least amount of trouble I have seen at a Brighton vs Palace match for years, if not ever. The only incident on the night of any note was 20-25 herberts getting into the stadium, possibly without tickets and certainly without being searched.

This resulted in a very visual scene of the smoke bombs and bangers. Rest assured, these idiots pissed off the other Palace fans equally as much as your fans but their actions should be put into perspective. They weren't rushing at the Brighton fans during the game, they weren't throwing missiles and coins and they weren't even singing homophobic songs.

We should all be welcoming this draw, not wishing we had some dull team from up North. Instead, we will have a match with a great atmosphere with a little bit of an edge to it. Why don't you go and watch Sussex play cricket if you want to eat your prawn sandwiches and clap politely.

Neutral venue for the replay. Somewhere like Kilmarnock.

 

[Questions]

Does amaze me people not going to go because of the trouble. What trouble ?

It’s Palace not Millwall. They’ll hide behind the police as usual.

Indeed, but there aren't many calls for the 'bubble' and the 'ban'. Full allocation and a busy day out, sounds fun.
