Many of whom obviously don't bother turning up judged on the number of empty seats each week

That must be very dissapointing, what with Palace doing so well.

A strange coincidence that, Palace doing well and empty seats at the Amex - now where must the stay aways be going to watch their football?

Oh, now I get it. You were talking about actual attendances at the Amex! Guessing, in fact.
The crowds are holding up pretty well thanks, and will continue to do so after Christmas, when the 'record numbers' of half-season tickets kick in.
Lets hope your own form continues, because we know from experience, how fickle your merry gang of loose followers are.

Well you had better hope that your team perform for all those half season ticket fans expecting promotion
Funny how that they didn't part with their cash before the season started... I hope they are true fans! best of luck over Xmas.

Yeh, I guess that a season of absolute dross and near relegation put them off. Still, the fact that 20 000 people - that's about 3000 more than Palace's average in their promotion season - bought season tickets back in August, even after last season's poor showing, shows that our crowd numbers are very resilient. 5th season syndrome or something.

A fact that chairman Steve Parish has remarked on I believe.

Creditable figures, I have a Brighton season ticket holder at work, he drinks in the 901 club or something like that? He thinks the attendances that are printed in the paper are way higher than the numbers turning up each week? Regardless of all that Palace are top 6 of the premier league and that's all that matters. Have a Good Christmas one and all.

You were doing so well until this point. That kind of argument is a retreat (once again) from the original premise. It can be regarded as a tacit admission that you were arguing speciously.

Sorry, do you honestly think that Brighton fans would listen to that ?. Think I have upset the apple cart with the amount of fans comments, but think i was being factual, apologies if I am incorrect, but pretty sure i was right, its nothing to be ashamed of as when/if you get a new ground you will get bigger crowds, that is another fact. Now Merry Xmas to you all and stop all this bickering,

No not at all, I stand my ground on that Brighton do not have a larger fan base and are not a better supported club than Palace, in all truth either set of fans will argue that their club are better than the other so the argument will never end. Have a good Christmas.
Have a Good Christmas one and all.

No need for that kind of abuse, if you don't like or agree, just ignore, apologies, good will to all men and all that.
I'm only joking. Have a lovely Christmas
With Palace now having significant American ownership, and Everton potentially going the same way in a £225 million deal, we could have very shortly the following foreign investment in the Premier League
United: American
City: Abu Dhabi
Arsenal: American/Ukranian
Bournemouth: Russian/American
Southampton: Swiss
Liverpool: American
Everton: American
Palace: American
Leicester: Thai
Spurs: Bermuda (which is where Joe Lewis is based)
Villa: American
Sunderland: American
Swansea: Biggest shareholder is South African
Watford: Italian
It needs 14 clubs to agree to a change in the rules. There are now 14 foreign owners, all of whom enjoy the benefits of the new TV deal. Don't be surprised if some of them, to prevent any potential loss of these TV monies, propose a vote to end relegation, so that the PL becomes effectively a franchise, and the money is sealed in for the present members. The 'new' owners don't give a toss about the history and heritage of our game, they can only see the $$$$ signs from TV companies.
