Ian Hollaway on a billboard in Streatham

[clippedgull]

Travelling back from Victoria via National Express on Sunday night, we stopped at traffic lights in Streatham and this monstrosity was staring at me!

Thats scary. Is that the new Freddy Krueger film ?

Oh. My. Good. Gawd.

They really are desperate for people through the turnstiles. That poster definitely wouldn't convince me to turn up if I were a neutral.

The Red & Blue army is a little short of troops I'd say.

Probably the military equivalent of Malta.

I was thinking Monaco would be more accurate

Graffiti is frowned upon people , however..

I pass that wretched thing every single day. There was one even closer to my house, no more than a minute's walk (mercifully not visible to me) a while back, plugging their infamous '2 for 1' Groupon thingy. One of the drawbacks of living where I do, unfortunately.

I can't tell you how tempting it's been to take a marker/knife to both of them, but a) I'm a law-abiding soul and b) there are cameras absolutely everywhere around the High Road, so anybody who succumbed to said temptation would get seen doing it for absolute certain.

If it's awful to have this is Palace's catchment area, presumably it would be equally awful if we had something similar featuring Gus across the front of the fire station.

I think it would be great, so I can't really criticise Palace.

Man up you know it makes sense.

PS buy a balaclava.

Fair play to them for trying but as a piece of Marketing trying to attract fans that is piss poor.

 

[Deleted member 22389]

That looks bloody awful.

 

[fosters headband]

That looks bloody awful.

They have given away so many free kids season tickets to make their attendance figures look reasonable, they will frighten them away now

 

[hybrid_x]

it so needs changing by a bha fan.....with some balls.

 

[SeagullSongs]

Hiney art, anyone?

I'm not far from you up in Gipsy Hill just below Palace. Seen a few of them about. They have I think advertised in the Standard although to be fair, West Ham do a lot as well touting their corporate stuff.

How long do you think it would take for the police, if it came to that, to come knocking on my door anyway? Registered Brighton fan living in Streatham? I'd be stitched up like a kipper, guv, an' no mistake. You don't even have to look at it daily, old chap – if it bothers you that much, I gather Paul Bruton does a nice line in exactly that piece of 'guerilla-art wear'.

Mate you will be fine - some woman phoned the police 5 times and said she was gonna kill someone - they never bothered turning up. Do it

The Premiership plastics in the SE postcode areas that they're trying to attract probably wouldn't have a clue who Ian Holloway was (in spite of Blackpool's recent top flight season), which team the 'red and blue army' bit is referring to or what division Palace play in, so it's a complete waste of time. At least our own Premiership plastic converts would have heard of Gustavo Poyet because he once played for Chelsea and Spurs, even if they'd never heard of BHAFC before last season. Say what you like about Palace (and I often do), but I have nothing but respect for their fans, true fans who eschew the SKY Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs experience in favour of supporting their local club.

Thank you botty I think
