Can’t stand Palace
Not many can
Can’t stand Palace
Plus the amex is hardly a hotbed for violence. .
The continued resistance to safe-standing in Britain baffles me.
No we're not . The holmesdale is the only stand which doesn't need pulling down , just tweaking if we are allowed safe standing .
Well the answer will be no, or be kicked out the premier league or championship if you go down. The 2 leagues both stipulate that it must be all seated stadia.
That won't happen , eventually safe standing will happen . Next time you watch motd look at the amount of standing which goes on , it's not just us but a lot of clubs . Both the Steve's want this to happen and I think certain stands could accommodate this . It would be nice to have a standing option in every ground as it does improve the atmosphere .
Well where I sit ( stand) it is pretty much all standing , if I were told to sit and everyone else did I would and I would come back . As a non smoker it doesn't bother me if there is a smoking area if they need a fag let them all smoke together . Nice bit of research btw .Is it a case they want it to happen because they don't know how to tackle the problem they have already, where large numbers stand and jump around, who if made to sit probably wouldn't come. Rather like the other issue they choose to to turn a blind eye to, the smoking around the stands at half time.

Goal music has gone, not that you'd notice based on this seasonThis is one thing they've got right.
Goal music, and reading the players first name for the crowd to repeat the surname are naff things they've got wrong.
Hopefully the whole country will have standing sections in years to come. Who knows, we may even be able to have a drink.
Thank the lord! I know it's Palace, and I do like the fact they're incredibly naff (the 'Eagles' FFS ), but football is more important than my dislike of the scum, so I'm glad they've stopped with the goal music. Football is better than that!Goal music has gone, not that you'd notice based on this season
I love the few clips I've seen. People standing, drinking and singing/chanting - perfect.What is your view on German crowds and atmosphere?

Yeah, our town is by the sea. Dolphins were on the Brighton crest (because we're by the sea), and Seagulls is perfect, because they're all over our town AND it takes the piss of the muppets up the road." the dolphins , the seagulls?"
I can understand enjoying seeing an Eagle, it's a magnificent bird. So when I want to see such a bird, I go to a wildlife park of some description. Having an American bird of prey as your nickname however, is naff - like American Ice-Hockey teams etc. Just like goal music (which, thankfully, you've stopped) and mid-game entertainment. Football is the best sport in the world, and doesn't need crappy American entertainment to make it worthwhile. You're like the Hull Tigers - roar!I think the Eagle is for the kids TBH, My mates kids love to see it.

Fortunately (for both of us), I think there's enough of us fighting it. Why have Palace got rid of goal music? Presumably because it's naff. Why don't Brighton have clackers at every game? Because it's naff and the fans revolted. Why don't we have a team of people with massive catapults firing little footballs into the crowd at half time - because it's ****ing naff!As much as I agree with you the days of a mug of Bovril while watching The Dagenham girl pipers at half time are gone, and like it or not, folks like that crappy American entertainment.
Maybe once the Hillsborough enquiry is finished and it's proved that standing wasn't cause of the crushing, then the government will change the regulations. Clubs would be free to provide safe standing.
Can't argue with that. I'm surprised they've been allowed to continue in the Premiershit with the state of the Arthur Waite and Main stands. Health & Safety? You're 'avin a larf!!!
I'm sure Parrish has plans to do up your ground with some of the TV money, not just a rubbish quick fix (like some cheepo cladding).Thank god Brighton wouldn't need to worry about such concerns - if only they could actually get there.
