They are just a small time club going no where. I expect to see them in the bottom two divs for many years soon, they just have not got the fans to support them in the top two divs.
You're right , how can we compete with the mighty weed now. Oh well roll on the 31st and maybe we can match you on the pitch .

Talking of small time clubs and fans, I see the pre Bloom years are still fresh in your mind then

You may well get through this season but with your ailing fanbase, your like a deadman walking.There is no expectation from me for 3 points on the 31st, you must be favorites so it's yours to lose.

You probably find this hard to believe but our capacity was restricted by planning so our fanbase was always going to be smaller at Withdean. However i didn't realise you had issues with planning not to be able to get bigger crowds in the 2nd tier of the english league at scumhurst.

With so many Brighton in the home ends I'd expect a gate of around 22k. Giving us 2'500 is piss poor when they can't sell out there games.

The home ends will be blue and white, but at the moment it's members and season ticket holders only for the home stands. Anyone know when they will be on 'general sale' to the masses?

ANYONE who thinks the football club they support makes them a better person than another person, or the attendances that said football club generate make the club 'better' than that of a rival is (IMO) a complete spacktard.

Let's not forget than less than four years ago we were playing to sub 4,500 attendances at Withdean. Part of the reason was that it was a shitheap, Selhurst (and I am sure Palace fans would agree) is also a shitheap, and that contributes towards moderate attendances there too.
.

Yawn. One person constantly moaning about something the majority are clearly happy to discuss is what id call a spacktard. And I cant remember any sub 4.5k league crowds at withdean

All cos their fans who couldn't sell Withdean out moaned that they 'only' got 2,500 tickets at our always PACKED new stadium. Shame on them - prob scared of the 7k we'd take if offered... Joke.

c'mon, when have we ever taken 7k away midweek?( from memory i'd say a certain Thursday in May 1983?) yes we could sell more than 2,500, but it's expensive, it's january, I believe those that really want to go will get in, I'm not gonna bother applying, as I've already stated in another thread I'm sorted in the home end, and as i'm not a pissed up teenager (i'm a pissed up fortysomethin) i've got no intention of drawing attention to myself (BTW yes I will cheer if we score, but I wont milk it, rub their noses in it or call Murray a ****, although he is one)

Thanks Dougie, but in all sincerity, any idea when home tickets will be on general sale for Palace fans, as opposed to just members and season ticket holders? Tks.

Tickets wont go on general sale, you must have a booking history.
Also there will be 400 Met Police in attendance, the biggest (overkill ) police presence at Selhurst.
