Palace don't always sell out in the PL and barely need 24k seats let alone 34k. They drop out of the Premier League and its bye bye to all the Liverpool, United, Chelsea and PL tourists who pad out their attendances. 10k fans in a 34k in the Championship won't look pretty.
10k Palace fans rattling around Selhurst in the Championship will look pretty good to me.

Well there seemed to be lot of empty seats around the ground, It was nearly 2k short of capacity, there didn't seem to be that amount of sterile area

I hear the Caravan Club Stadium is current favourite.
It was about 1000 less than max match capacity, but that is dependent on police advise concerning sterile areas, so taking into account only 2000 away fans instead of 2500 that's 500 off max match capacity and I would have thought that was again on Police advise, the match sold out to Palace fans with about two weeks to go.
Anyway silly discussion when Brighton sold our neither of their games against Palace, with 1 game being less than 50% full.

Wasn't the right thing to have built a brand new stadium somewhere else in the catchment area? Any team aspiring to have long-term Prem ambitions surely has to make the place accessible, desirable and attractive?
I see that unlike the Albion they won't be including public transport as part of the ticket price, and it is a horrible area if you're in a car.
By staying at Selhurst I don't think they're broadening their appeal to the rest of South London and North Sussex - in pub terms it's like drinking in somebody's local, somewhere tucked away down a side-street. One of the things I love about the Amex is it being so visible to the people of Sussex as they drive by on the A27, a building to be seen and be proud of.

You are a very angry man, go chill. I am only courteous on these boards and never get into spats with shouty angry people.

What? We've sold out every league game this season, the attendance for the game against you was sub 30k because of the excessive segregation.

Im sorry, but you cannot talk about Crystal Palace and include the word sterile in a meaningful sentance.
Everything to do with the club is contaminated

Yes but but but that because of the arsenal/Chelsea/Liverpool/man city fans who are Brighton STH's

Nice stand well we would think that. It's a carbon of our West Stand. The thing is the stadium will still look shit like a cobbled together adhoc collection of random stands. Its strange approach as there doesn't seem to be any sort of cohesion or masterplan as how the whole complex comes together. Somehow quite fitting. I suspect ....that's the way they like it, they like it oooooerah oooa ah...
My apologies, I was basing my aspersions on the fact it wasn't the highest attendance therefore not sold out. But as you say police do put limits on crowds as well as the case on Saturday.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I have a fondness for grounds that have evolved with different stands and quirky looks. I personally think the big bowl arena type grounds a bit meh.... I don't include Falmer as it's not bad looking,

That's great, i am happy you are happy, it's also a good time to be a Palace fan as well. Now it's Friday a glorious day in Sussex, there's a cold larger waiting in the pub garden, followed by a Harvey's .
