It's a shame all these desperate fans couldn't be bothered to attend the Goldstone.
Despite what WCP says, apart from the glory years (late 70's/ early 80's) you could barely get 10,000 .

StarLizard isn't a betting company in the generally accepted sense, in that it isn't a gambling platform or online betting shop. It's more of a consultancy.
Fair point, but they are tipsters rather than a betting company surely?
If you are going to sneer, at least get your facts right.
In 1999/2000 the average attendance was 5,733, and the capacity was 5,900. It took me four years as a non STH to get hold of a ticket for a home match.
They are not a bookmaker, I would say they are a betting company though

You know every single crowd number from 1901 to 1997? I'm impressed. I started going in the 60s and remember over 20K.
Here's an excerpt from the early 70s. Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest.

When these ***** were in the Championship that stand was more than 3/4 empty and their crowds were mainly between 10/13 k most of the time not even that.
Utterly deluded bunch of cretins.
They keep saying "well your crowds were so tiny at Withdean , where have all your fans come from all of a sudden "
Ummm hellooooo !!!!!!!
You can't fit 20k odd into a stadium that takes at its maximum 7k and when the we weere at Priestfield it was nearly a 200 mile round trip for most and their
ground was tiny too.
Also the Goldstone was half shut for years because it was too dangerous for people to stand in.
Before that it was 18k + all the time nearly.
Thats our question answered Palarse whats your excuses you scabby ****ing pikey *****. ANSWER .... You don't have an answer ***** !!! GRRRRRRR I****ING HATE PALARSE SCUM

Really? I seem to remember inthe late 60s early 70s being in 15-20 thousand crowds quite often, and 30 thousand on the odd occasion, but I bow to your superior knowledge of a club you don't support

Enjoy that. I hope you're looking forward to seeing Bolasie and Zaha run at your defence as much as I am

American owners will suit Palace. They already have cheer leaders, a naff pop song for the players to run out to, fans that bang drums and most of who only turn up when playing in "the best" league. They are not really a proper old school English club like Brighton whose fans fought for the club and who will turn up for Bristol City at home on a midweek for a Championship game.

Haha That was something rarely seen by Sunderland fans. Wickham in the 4 years he played for them scored a total of 11 league goals in that time.
Now here is a fact the Palace fans might like to ponder on, that is 10 goals less than Mackail Smith scored for Brighton over the same period.
Palace fans thought that it was extremely funny we paid £2.5 million for such a poor goal return. How much have you paid for Wickham, £8 mill and I think Palace fans have not even seen him score yet have they. So if he does score against Sunderland it will be a surprise to both sets of fans.

5 of them goals was in a 3 match spell, they saved us from relegation. Hate going to hellhurst park, we always lose there apart from last season when I couldn't make it.
Jesus there is some shite being spouted on here from the idiots up the road, the basic argument being if it relates to them it's die hard supporters, well financed and great but if it's Brighton them it's all unsustainable and crap.
As a returning supporter (for a number of reasons including serving my country) educated and intelligent I am more than happy with our position and do not feel the need to justify our position based on here-say and rumour.
It hurts me to say but well done to them at the moment they have taken their opportunity with both hands but what goes up must come down..
