Wow,that's some insight you've got there. Just where did you pick up this nugget of insider knowledge?
I hope that when this all happens,you have a hefty bet on it,cos the odds will be massive.
Who will be quoting the odds? Tony Bloom?

"We had our ground stolen by crooks".
No what happened that by the mid-1990's you had nothing of any value in the club left other than the ground you owned, you had to sell your goalie just to pay HMIT a tax bill, but the rest of your side were journeymen by then. Your management (including Bloom's grandfather I believe) had wasted all the income you had made from the good years, including two Cup Finals, in ways which have never been made clear.
The Goldstone was a sh*tty rustheap which barely had decent stands, one side was open to the elements. Your fans were being castigated over their behaviour. Points deducted etc. In one game one assaulted the ref and one of the opposition players.
Now you BOAST that you avoided administration. Your ground was SOLD in murky circumstances. Don't pay the "Morality" card with Palace, sunshine.

Blinkered.
Exorbitant interest rates, excessively prohibitive fines for payments intentionally missed, selling our ground to pay off debts only for the site to be sold for over 3x less than a year later. They WERE crooks.
It may have been a 'rustheap' but it was home and special to alot of us, something you should know all about with your own rustheap.
Why don't you just go back to your own board and spout all the boll@cks you and many others spout on there, we are not interested in your inaccurate views on here.

I doubt if our Chairman would have anything to do with small fry like you, however,if you were willing to back your ludicrous claim with hard cash, I imagine one of the high street bookies would willingly relieve you of it
Why was virtually nothing done to improve the ground for the spectators?
Compare Selhurst.
1968/69 Arthur Wait stand built.
1981 or abouts. Sainsbury's.
1994/5 Holmesdale Stand put in.
Someone "milked" Albion it would seem. But who? Do you care? Obviously not.
When I do look at BBS it has virtually no comment about Albion. We just concentrate on our own activities. Unfortunately 1200 messages on here, mostly by Albion supporters, suggests you haven't got the same priorities, especially as far as past factual accuracy is concerned.
Please tell me what happened, for instance, to all the money the club made out of your run to the 1983 Cup Final. Why was virtually nothing done to improve the ground for the spectators?

Correct."We had our ground stolen by crooks".
Yep - we sell players to pay debts, and get relegated as a consequence. That's living within your means.No what happened that by the mid-1990's you had nothing of any value in the club left other than the ground you owned, you had to sell your goalie just to pay HMIT a tax bill
Yep, spending wisely in football is a difficult game. Not sure what your point is.but the rest of your side were journeymen by then. Your management (including Bloom's grandfather I believe) had wasted all the income you had made from the good years
Yep, again, not sure what your point is.The Goldstone was a sh*tty rustheap which barely had decent stands, one side was open to the elements.
Like all other football fans in the country then. We were no worse than anyone else. Again, not sure what your point is.Your fans were being castigated over their behaviour.
Yes, we sold players to pay bills, so we didn't go into administration. The selling of the ground wasn't murky, some crooks took over the club and stole the money. Yet still we managed to avoid administration, because we carried on within our means. I appreciate that's quite an alien concept to you. You just spend and assume mum and dad will pay.Now you BOAST that you avoided administration. Your ground was SOLD in murky circumstances.
Sunshine? Of course morality is going to be brought up when discussing your sham of a club.Don't pay the "Morality" card with Palace, sunshine.
So, you're concentrating on your own activities?
You do realise this is an Albion message board do you? We are enjoying the shitfest that is Crystal Palace 2010, on our own board, where as you have come on to your rivals board, and posted 5483 times in seven years. As for an Albion fan doing time for death threats to Bellotti, he should have kept it to throat slitting gestiures as perfected by your own intellectually challenged support
Please post up again that wonderful pasted picture someone did of Gordon Greer holding up Muzza's disembodied head when he moved to Palace. That was SO funny.
