[Billy Mays]

Have just phoned Palace...

011 44 8712 00 0071.

You're through to the Crystal Palace Football Club box office ... blah blah.
Press 1 to speak with a representative.

Nigel from Tattenham Corner : Good afternoon Crystal Palace Football Club
Ian from Florida : Ah yes. Good afternoon. I'm just calling to ask when the points come off.
Nigel : The points? (penny drops). Aaah. You're talking about the administration aren't you?
Ian. : Mmm. Yes. Indeed. The administration. How many points exactly is that?
Nigel : We think it's 10.
Ian : 10? Really? Does that actually put you in the relegation zone?
Nigel : I don't know sir (SIR!!!! - full credit to him). I haven't actually seen a table.
Ian : Well I'm watching it avidly and they haven't come off yet. It's marvellous news though isn't it?

Nigel hangs up at this point.

So, again, they have most, if not all, their debts written off, thereby giving them another head start over clubs like ours, which live within their means.

No wonder it has been difficult for us to compete with clubs like Palace.

Breaking news on reuters refers to a meeting of the palace and brighton boards.

'Proposal tabled for consideration includes the sell off of Selhurst Park and a
ground share option at Falmer'

I agree, they can sit down at the bottom of the league 2 for as long as you like, I still maintain the minute one or two bigger clubs start going down the pan, the rot will set in and many more will follow.

The only way the mess football is in can be cleared is by a bigger club being hit hard - in the long run it would be a good thing - we might see some better financial structure in football overall.

If clubs live beyond their means and benefit from it, they deserve every slice of shit that comes their way afterwards. Simple as that.

The real trouble is the punishment often isn't strong enough.

Pay rise and Palarse go into administration all on the same day! Christmas come early

 

[wellquickwoody]

Just been on the Palace official site. Just look at their Welcome Page
.

F*****g brilliant!!!!!

[natterjack]

Have you seen that we have a new Cardiff fan on here NJ?

Not the brightest are Merthyr Cardiff fans - he's probably got diverted to this site when looking up the DHSS web page.

Palace going bust is great news for me - Swans play them next Tuesday!

They could share with Crawley surely ?

 

[Sweeney Todd]

What with so many clubs on the brink of financial meltdown, including Man U, we might soon find ourselves with nobody to play.

 

[Questions]

I have to work tonight and I was a bit down about it but all of a sudden I`ve a spring in my step and I`ve started to enjoy my evening.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Maybe some of the Palace contingent on here might be able to answer this, but they do not seem to be the brightest of the lot.

Are there any guarantees when it comes to playing at Selhurst? It is well documented that the owner of the freehold is in administration. The club may well have some buyers waiting in the wings, but what goes with the stadium?

Retreading old ground here, I know, but I wouldn't want to see them go under. They're vermin, but they're our vermin. So long as it's a 10 point deduction and an inconvenience then we can all sit back and enjoy them being nowhere near the playoffs.

Just one thought though. I know that there have been occasions when the players haven't been paid. Has that also been the case with the various staff at the club? There will be people there feeling very nervous about the future and wondering if their jobs are safe. I would imagine that redundancies are a possibility for some. Sad, if true.

Mind you, if they'd worked for a proper team...

 

[Vic's Stick]

Great news - I thought my car had engine trouble as I drove home tonight as I could hear a non stop whine. But it turns out I had just tuned my radio into Croydon FM by mistake !
