Play-off away game ticket info - includes VERY strict Palace rules

[Brighton Breezy]

However much this game is hyped up, it won't be as volatile as the 5v0 game purely because it had been so long since we played them and we got twice as many tickets.

 

[elninobonito]

so having read through 12 pages of arguments, the bit hat made me laugh was point 2:

2. Your details and seat numbers will be made available to Crystal Palace FC, the Metropolitan Police and Sussex Police.

So, are they wanting to enforce everyone to sit in their actual seats.....good luck with that! ha ha!

 

[LA1972]

Boycott the bloody game and fill the pubs of Sussex

 

[pastafarian]

I think you'll find it was the other way round. CPFC2010 on BBS stated the away allocation at The Amex would be the same as the league game before this announcement was made.

i was not talking about allocation i was referring to the ID thingy which is something the clubs have asked for not the Police

Sussex Police and Met Police make the decisions not Paul Barber

The police are our servants. They serve us, the public. They should not be telling us when and how we can attend football matches.

....and be prevented from attending the match even though you have a ticket. Typical of the Met and their OTT approach to policing. It's a football match between two rival teams, there have been no serious problems in the last four matches, a bit of lairyness and the Stone Island wearing 40 somethings acting like kids, but nothing more

We have been having serious problems with the Met, but more to the point, Inspector Dorans.
He has got it into his head that CPFC have a major hooligan problem, which is absolute BS.
His Saturday routine is to tour the pubs in the vicinity of Selhurst, shoving a camera in people's faces, then wait for a reaction to justify the total police overkill.
The storming of the Holmesdale fanatics coach last Saturday was typical of his approach to policing. We all know that flares are illegal in football stadiums, but the amount of police and the costs involved was ridiculous . As much as the HF are derided on here, they create an atmosphere and as far as I'm aware, don't go looking for aggro. Dorans constantly hounds them, with trumped up charges that get thrown out of court, and generally being an complete prick to Palace fans of all ages.
All the time this man controls the policing at CPFC, you will never get a good allocation and your every move will be monitored.

Do you really think both clubs would have agreed stringent ID protocols if they made the decision on their own ?

Blame Thatcher , she gave them the powers to do what they want in the first place.

Can't agree with that. No way a league game, even one we'd waited 13 years for, is as big as a play-off game which is a step toward the top-flight. This is, for me, the biggest game between the two clubs so far. And yes, I'm aware we've played them in the top flight, but those too are league games - there'll be another one along in a minute. Play-off games are just not like that.

Wrong, CPFC and BHAFC have nothing to do with this. It's orders by the Police (probably more the Met than anything).

The clubs won't be the ones enforcing it and won't be asking for ID, it's all to do with the police.

Exactly

 

[Wrong-Direction]

It's all scare mongering to try and prevent people going, there will be riots if they try and start IDing everyone - everything will turn out fine, you'll see......

Very much this, it's to put the troublemakers off, that's all.

 

[Triggaaar]

Indeed. Except that we might not actually play them.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Again, Trig, you're right of course. But we're going to, aren't we?

Players will get tickets for family and friends..... complimentarys.

What about all the Corporate tickets / Sponsors etc?

knock yourself out.

Mr Balkham is saying the ID idea is down to the clubs and was not a police stipulation.

i see you both have twitter so why not twit him ask him why he is lying and full of poop.

That doesn't tell the whole story.

Taken out of the 2,000 allocation , they will have been given enough loyalty points to get first dibs.
