Palace

Current stats says he is correct.

Current stats say we're averaging nearly 1000 more punters a game.

 

[Simster]

Current stats say we're averaging nearly 1000 fewer home punters a game (even though we're in the Prem), once you factor in the away support.

Corrected for you.

 

[Se20]

Corrected for you.

I'm only quoting the facts
I'm sure Mr Flair will confirm these figures

 

[Simster]

I'm only quoting the facts

I'm only saying that those facts don't represent the truth, which is that fewer Palace fans attend games than Brighton fans - even though we're a division below and you're in the top 6.

I thought this was a serious reply until I read that bit

It was based on facts, attendances and season ticket holders, sorry.

You're moving the goalposts now.

 

[Simster]

You're moving the goalposts now.

Actually no, you were.

The original quote was this:

"Yes there are queues after the game at the station, there is at most grounds/stations after games, maybe not at Palace, as you have loads of stations and not as many fans as us"

A couple of your Nigel chums took umbrage. I'm just pointing out that the original quote was correct.

Lets look at completed seasons since you were promoted
Palace 2013/14 Ave 24,114 Brighton Ave 27,283
Palace 2014/15 Ave 24,421 Brighton Ave 25,645

Not sure were your 1000 more comes from.

Forbes Business Magazine 10 Dec 15 on Blitzer and Harris:

The two just became major investors in the Crystal Palace Football Club in London and their strategy is simple: According to a business associate of Blitzer, it’s to “get to know the market,’’ as they get a footing in London and see how things operate there for their bid to land an NFL expansion team in London.

I'm calling bullploppy on that.

Re The NFL think Premier League x 100, when it comes to making money.
None of the current 32 owners are likely to be giving up that massive cash cow.

Getting your hands on an NFL team, relocating it to London would take Gates, Zuckerburg, Bezos or our own [MENTION=12697]Steve Foster[/MENTION] kind of money.

It says 'expansion team' - a NEW team. No-one would need to give up their existing team, nor would it involve any re-location.

That would require a stadium of at least a 60,000 capacity . Even with a bigger improved stadium we will be lucky to get it to 40,000 .

Nowhere in that quote does it suggest that the plan is for the (theoretical) NFL team to play AT Selhurst.

Long way to go before it falls to the 15,000 or so that you were getting before you got promoted.

Check the historic attendances of both clubs, not just The Amex years

It's ok I am used to your wriggling and twisting of statements
But for the record so far this season you are ahead by 265, but some how I feel that will change by the seasons end.

Yes and currently our average has fallen to a near Palace type Premiership average

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Yeah, historically, when we are in the same leagues, we have a higher % of fans per available seats.

 

[Stat Brother]

It says 'expansion team' - a NEW team. No-one would need to give up their existing team, nor would it involve any re-location.

That's not what the term means in the US.
It refers to expanding into a new market, not expanding the league.

As much as you should never say 'never' but the NFL will never expand beyond 32 teams, as the players couldn't physically take the punishment of more than 16 games.
The union has always shouted down an 18 game season and now with concussion being front and centre of the discussion it's even less likely.

76'ers lost again last night, that'll be 1 win in 39.

These willy waving arguments get a bit dull.

At the moment BHA get bigger crowds (tickets sold) than Palace, At the moment BHA have a better Ground ( I love SP myself) and more ST sales, this is fact and cant be denied.
But from 1987 until 2012 Palace had bigger average attendance that is a fact and cant be denied, and in fact Brighton's biggest crowd from 1989 wasn't as big as Palaces smallest crowd until 2012.

These things cant be changed so why o why do we go round in circles ? if we want to slag each other off why not what really matters and that the football being played.

Far from me to suggest my willie's bigger then yours, but so far it's 24,777 to 24,512 in our favour.
I'm sure you'll increase in the new year.
Enjoy the rest of the season, Merry Christmas !

Any new information today on the 'takeover' and Charming Eagles FC ?

Including the twelve years the Albion were stuck in a 6-8,700 capacity sh*thole, whilst Palace remained in their usual sh*thole?

Don't throw facts like that into the argument.
