Simple answer ban away fans for this and the reverse fixture for the foreseeable future and set up a beamback.

That would be unfair BG, they had a crowd at the game last night, we deserve an allocation up the road.

Wouldn't bother with a beamback

Tickets permitting I intend to go. If anything as ever it will be so over policed that it will be as safe as houses.

Sorry but it's simple avoiding trouble just don't wear colours and when required keep quiet.

I can picture that in the future both clubs will agree to no away fans.

What has fairness got to do with it as it is more a question of safety and cost. So are they going to let 300 of our fans storm the turnstiles because they did and it would then be fair,.

I was going and still intend going with a 'but'. I will check how Seagulls Travel intend dealing with it regarding where they park and safety between ground and coaches. Last thing I want is kettling off to a train when I'm on a coach but at the same time I want an escort back to the coach. Will be the first game in years I avoid colours though.

We all know how Prince Disney likes to play to the Goons Gallery.

I wouldn't be surprised if some albion fans with tickets are refused entry to Selhurst.

Petty points scored by Charming and job done.

No doubt the Seagulls Travel coaches will be daubed with 'CPFC' while they are parked.

All so boringly predictable.

Didn't feel like it was worth the hassle before hand, and last night reinforced that. If it ends up as a beamback I'll go to that.

Had enough of going there, been there many times since the 70s, don’t plan to go again.

Not really. The Arthur Waite Stand, concourse and ingress/egress points are as bad as they come in modern football stadia and I’m constantly astonished they’re still allowed to operate in that way in 2017.

The phrase “shithole” has never been more apt and apart from the 2005 game where we had access via areas in that stand previously used for home fans only I have never felt safe there.

I'm more than happy to go if I can get a ticket, just down the road etc...

You always get the idiots but I've always come out quite safely.

Last night was not a throw back to the 70s but an odd problem Palace have with a small group of young fans oddly aligning themselves with Italian football fans.

Stop indulging that and it's back to normal with a few odd idiots in their late 40s / early 50s re-living their youth and shitting themselves pre-game because of too much beer and irritable bowel syndrome as opposed to the fear of opposing fans.

nothing to fear - their ultras proved Tuesday they feel toughest with the comfort of hundreds of riot police on a street such as West Street or when storming stewards...no chance they'll actually be running around looking for Brighton in case they actually find some of ours that fancy it..
