Plastic Palace day trippers

[Working class pride]

In the mid 80s palace players could find them playing at Selhurst in front of 4000. In the late 80s during the best period in their history they scraped together regular crowds of around 14000 to watch the Ian Wright side and this season they struggled to get 14,000 or 15000 in games without free tickets and Groupon deals. But for a day trip to Wembley they have cobbled together 33000 I see. I suppose that is their 5000 core support plus the 7,000 floating support and then lots of extended family. I have to respect fans of clubs like Wigan and Palace as without them football would be much poorer. We forget how lucky the Albion are to have a large region that provides a natural fan base no matter how poor the club have been historically on the field.

Huge percentage of their "fans" at Wembley will have never seen them play before

Its not the plastics that annoy me , its the glory hunters.

Right now I don't even want to acknowledge Wembley exists, let alone the fact we were 90 minutes from reaching it and that Palace are now there instead

Amazingly teams get more supporters for bigger games. Who'd of thought it.

Yeah same here, just a shame us at Brighton have not had any glory since 1983 !

It's always the same old 20 or so posters that write this shit, so very, very bitter. Last Monday must have been an absolute nightmare to watch for you given how much you obviously detest us

Isn't that a Scott Walker song?

Haven't Palace had crowds over 50K in their history? How do we compare with that?

Both Clubs in same league = Albion average more. Simples.
