) You do also realise they hold the highest gate for a old 4th division match against Millwall? Late 30 odd thousand I believe im sure some Palace fan will give me the exact figure! But working class pride you are talking bullshit and thats what annoys me in any debate on this site fans on both sides talk crap due to their blinkered rivalry
37774 Palace v Millwall.The rivalry between our clubs mean nothing to me I class Pompey as more of a rival. But you are talking crap mate, my brother is a Palace fan and they used to get huge gates in the 1970's and it was only when Mullery took over there that gates dropped(wel done Mullers

Just because clubs spend money doesn't mean it will bring guaranteed success, if that was the case then the top 20 wealthiest clubs in the country would be in the Premiership.
The only players we spent big on (both transfer fees and wages) during Simon Jordan's era where Akinbyi, Kuqi and Macken and they all turned out to be utter utter sh*t and lost us more points than they gained us, I can assure you of that. If we hadn't of spent money on these players and maybe instead developed youth or had bought cheaply from the lower leagues, like we have successfully done under CPFC 2010, we more than likely actually would have been better off.
Your fans know very little about our admin under Jordan, FACT. We had a debt that was unexpectedly called in all at once by an aggressive hedge fund, it was not a standard admin. Yes, we were living beyond our means but so is your club (and most clubs in the country), you are posting heavy loses each season of around £8 million pounds and this if anything is going to go up when you loses are announced around April-May. The only difference is you have someone who is willing to fund the loses in Tony Bloom whereas we had to rely on a loan from a 3rd party that was immoral and called it in early and with no notice thus leaving us up sh*t creek.
It's pathetic when you all say we were immoral and looking to overspend and rip people off intentially, what would be the point of over-spending if we couldn't afford it, it would only end up in admin if we didn’t get promoted. Simon Jordan was many things but he wasn't someone who intentially would jeopodise the future of Palace by gambaling on a hope at getting into the Prem. It was a combination of things from relegation from the Prem, unexpected crowd drops, rising inflation and the credit crunch that caused our admin.
Your fans constant harping on about our administrations is purely a coping mechanism to help you feel better about how cr*p your own club have been over the years. If you look at the team we had that beat you last year it cost less than Ulloa so what's your excuse this time?
