“Can we write something about the light shows?”
“What? No!”
“Oh please! I’ll pay for it”
“FFS go on then. But keep it brief”

Varies from game to game depending on the worldwide TV audience, but the income from those LED adverts behind the goals and opposite the cameras represent something in the region of 1m per game on average. I'm sure the Always Ultras would be happy to have a whip round to make up the shortfall when an advertiser demands a refund becuase their brand was covered by an A-Level art project for 90 minutes.

I have had a word with the architect but he is adamant that zip wires are not suitable so it is cable car or nothing.

I'm sorry but I can't see a chips concession

I doubt it generates that much tbh.
Unless you count all of the overseas broadcast revenue as being dependent on the LEDs,

Anyhow, back to Pilarse, and no points last night, starting to shape themselves into serious relegation contenders. They've had to work hard to get into such a position but their determination to fail is unrelenting

Bloody IFAB, innit.

There's two teams and eleven blue card officials

Is that an EV on fire under the monorail?

The problem for Palace is that their more winnable games (Everton, Burnley, Luton) are mostly coming in the next few weeks, a period where they still may be without Olise, Guehi, and Eze. & possibly still Hodgson steering the sinking ship. After that they have a really tough run in. They have City, Liverpool, United, Spurs, Newcastle, and Villa all left to play. Very tough fixtures for them. There’ll be no more bottom 3 sides to play. And their other fixtures against bottom half teams (Forest, Fulham, Wolves, and Bournemouth) are all away games. Simply put, if they don’t stick some points on the board over the next 3 or 4 games then they are right in the relegation battle for the season.

What I liked about Palace last night is they had a 5 or 6 flares and the ultras waved their flags a bit.

Trying to dust themselves off after the pummeling we dished out last week.

They know that we know that it is still eating them up

We beat the scum 4 - 1

All hoping for a reaction, like we did after our Luton debacle, but no another defeat.

Beginning of the PL era one of the podcasts (possibly the official one) had Paul Rogers on when he was still commercial manager. He was saying how much the ad boards generated per game in the PL compared to Championship, especially if against one of the big 6, and I was also genuinely surprised. This article backs up those figures:

I'd also say advertising in the EPL has become more attractive and offers better commercial opportunities for the club, i.e. more sponsors on shorter ads with higher ask.

Simon justifying the 'Manchester utd of the South' comment, because Croydon has a population of a million and they had 50 thousand there in the 70s. So he reckons they were bigger than Arsenal, Spurs and West Ham then.

Pulis is on, saying that if they had a stadium twice the size, they'd fill it. Then he adds, if they were top 6. Couldn't even fill their ground in the Championship.

Then they moved on to excusing a lack investment in the squad because Parish is concentrating on the new stand.

They're all batshit crazy.

Could EASILY zipwire from Ditchling Beacon. Get a new architect.

I always look at goal difference as good indicator for potential relegation candidates. Third worst is now Palace.

Palace has ONE 50k crowd in its history. The few 40k+ crowds in the 70s were London derbies or v Liverpool/ManU with pay on the gate and were essentially 50/50 crowds. Their highest average gate across any season was 30,167 (1973). Incidentally ours was 31,477 last season.
When the Team Of The Eighties myth was conceived in 79/80 they averaged 29,794 but 5 years later that had dropped to 6,446. Loyal as ever.

Same.

However 18th often has a much better GD than one or two that escape the drop.
