It was very good .
Are we going to put up with this kind of unnecessary arrogant bragging?

Saying 'It was very good' is arrogant bragging? I guess The Major should be banished all season then?

The truth is Palace fans have been good for years now. There has been some incredibly ignorant drivel posted on the subject on here, but both home and away during their struggles they have good songs and make a lot of noise (apart from when thyey're 3-0 down to us and let's face it, who would in that situation). Other Championship clubs think they have loud fans, that is all you need to know, and an average of 18k is nothing to be ashamed about.
There has been an equal lot of crap spouted by their fans about us. We were never as bad as the 7k turning up at Withdean, they were exceptional circumstances, and an atmosphere was nigh on impossible there. Away was always better. But the current figure of 30,000 includes many thousands of fans who will not join in the singing.
Throughout the last 35 years I have always believed that Palace and Brighton had roughly similar fan bases, and nothing has happened of late to change my view on that. If anything I think their fans are louder at the moment, mainly because they have better songs and everyone sings them.

I agree with just about all of your post except the last bit. St Paulii or whatever, goal music, drums?

Fair play a very decent and fair post. I think the AMEX will improve with age, Maybe your fans need to talk to the club and try and create a singing area where the stewards turn a blind eye to standing.

What are you on about? I don't understand your comment ? If you are going to reply then come out with something sensible.

You're wrong; it's obvious what we need: goal music and a drum.

Great post.
As much as I hate to admit it, this post is spot on.

Spot on Tooting. I think we need to reinvent ourselves with regard to club songs etc. Some clever souls on here must be able to come up with som catchy songs/chants even perhaps a new club anthem alongside of course GOSBTS. Would be good if we come up with something before we next meet CP.

Come on Dougie. If a Brighton fan can't be upset at a palace fan on this day of all days, then when can he? Give the guy a break!

Palace fans this month were the loudest ever seen at the Amex apart from possibly Leeds United.
