Is your Liverpool supporting mate going or is he giving up his ticket for a proper Palace fan?
I'd be surprised if he wasn't, having been to most home games and a handful of away games.

You really do love numbers dont you so here is another....do ONE you boring little man (?)

I really do find this obsession with "plastics" really quite nauseating.
When I were but a boy, we called them "butterflies" a far more charming reference for people who would come out on the sunny days, but would be nowhere to be seen on the gloomy, dark days. Yes, it was a distinction, but I never felt it was a big criticism, it's just the facts of life isn't it, and a perfectly natural one. Of course the glorious days, the high profile games draw a bigger crowd, where is the surprise in that?
Don't we all do it? Wouldn't we all just dismiss the cricticism as a nosense if someone threw it at us in different circumstances. I was at Lords last Thursday, and no-one turned on me as a "plastic" due to my lack of attendance at County games, or at a concert at the O2, no-one criticises me for not being at that bands gigs when they were doing rough clubs around the country.
At the end of the day, big games pull bigger crowds than average, just like the following we had to Wembley in 1991. It happens, don't see the problem.

Has there ever been a Championship Play off final contested between two poorly supported clubs than Watford vs Palace ?
Watford average about 11k "home" fans and Palace 15k . That means about 65k watching at Wembley will have hardly ever set foot in Vicarage Road or the Grim Groupon.
Watch out for those banners.
Do you want me to link the video of the Brighton/Chelsea fan? Or put up the picture of the Celtic/Leeds/Brighton fan's letter to The Argus? Or maybe the image of Brighton fans clapping Gerrard, or wearing a Liverpool rucksack? We may have less through the gates, but at least they are real fans. And, yes, there are around 15k more coming to Wembley - this happens to every team. It would have happened to Brighton too, but 'Winifred' stopped that from happening. Enjoy watching us on Monday, I know you will be as you can't stop following Palace. In fact, they may even be your second team.
2-0
Don Goodman, live on Sky mocked your plastic support leaving earlier, the whole nation heard him then watched on as we lauded it up on your own pitch. 7000 to 30,000 in no time, no one does plastic like BHAFC
I beg to differ.
1979 Palace v Burnley Att: 51,700
1984 Palace v Wimbledon Att: 4,005
Four and a half years and just one relegation in that time, and the gate drops by 47,700.
No one does plastic like Palace.
Many fans were staying away to protest the Mullery appointment.

No, that is a myth perpetuated by BBS in order to counter these figures, I know quite a few old school Palace and they have never mentioned this so called boycott.
