Those that sat in the home end

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

was bang in the middle of the so called ultras in block A, no issues of any note, the lads round me made no secret to others around that there was 'a weed' in their end but good humour and a draw ensured there was no trouble for me, I challenge anyone in the Holmsdale to dispute the fact that Palace fans really do have an unhealthy obsession with anal sex, they do not stop singing about it all match long, and for any Brighton fans that question the rivalry, trust me, they fuckin hate us! The prune just down from us at the front with his back to the pitch is frowned upon by his own fans, I was informed he's known locally as General Wankstaffe, he gets the front five rows of 15 year olds clapping like a bunch of demented seals though! Dropped a bollock leaving though, thought it would be a breeze but the had erected a f***ing wall during the match at the top end of Holmsdale road so we took the long way round to Norwood Junction then was held by OB at the cross roads as all the Brighton fans sailed past, the Met did not have a f***ing clue as most wanted to walk straight on down past the wetherspoons which would have caused no trouble but we were held for about half an hour, still at least it gave the palace fans more of an opportunity to sing about anal sex, so they had good time, In conclusion, it was a bit weird but I was pissed and I saw the game so it was better than not going at all

Simply because your fans are nothing but f***ing animals. Football fans, my ass.

Why do you say that? Are yours any better? What about the fat bloke goading the Palace fans at your place, and the bunch of 5 year olds running over to the family stand last night when you scored.

I got a text from a Palace supporting mate who was in the Holmesdale informing me some of our who were in the home end had just got a kicking shortly after the goal.

No idea if that is true or not, although I've no reason to disbelieve him.

To be fair if you go in the home end and make yourself known then you kinda deserve it.

I was in the main stand, in row 14 towards the holmesdale end, when we got the pen I sat on my hands and made sure I didn't celebrate out loud. However the Brighton in the next block of seats to my right had celebrated a bit and I saw a few fisticuffs with him making a hasty retreat down the stairs with a cup of tea being luzzed that just missed him.

Another couple of fans behind me up at the back were escorted out by stewards after palace fans pointed them out to them.

There was nearly a fight before their goal between two palace fans as this one idiot who kept calling Gus monkey boy wouldn't sit down, so they had to be separated by stewards and then when they scored they shook hands!

For the main, the Palace fans were frustrated that they couldn't get the ball much and for two bits of pressure, one at the end of the first half and that 20 min in the second half, we controlled the game.

If the game had gone on another 10 min we would have got a winner.

Not too much bother, we were in the main stand and we were clocked failry early on by the Paalce fans around us but not one of these Nigels looked like they could punch there way out of paper bag. Unfortunately stewards got us after we scored and we were kicked out. Oh well saw the gaols !!

 

[Fungus]

Oh well saw the gaols !!

That was a bit harsh! What time did they let you out?

I was also in the Holmesdale End and the twat next to me also had an unhealthy interest in all things homosexual. This manifested itself in him shouting 'get off him you big f..ing faggot, he's trying to bum you' eveytime a Brighton player offered a concillatory hand to a Palace player. El Abd incurred his particular wrath as any action he was involved in was some metaphor for homosexual behaviour.
At the end he turned to me and said 'the sad thing is I don't even hate Brighton particularly , it's Charlton that really gets me going. I thought some of the knobs I sit next to at home matches shout out enough inane rubbish , but this bloke made them seem like doctors of philosophy

Because as far as I'm aware, there's a difference between goading, and 5 year olds to beating someone up because of their loyalty with a football team. I'm yet to see that at the Amex, and I'm sure if they did, I'll call them the same thing. However, the reports of attacks appear to be more common from you lot.

Beating someone up as they support another team is barbaric, and therefore those that did, are animals. Good enough explanation for you, sir?

Portraits in the Glazier bar

Took some photo's of their portraits inside the Glazier bar (Main stand) last night at half time. No atmosphere in there whatsoever and the service was extremely slow!
God knows how long it would take to get served 'IF' they could fill the stand.
It was nice and warm in there though!

We got no hassle at all but respected being in their stand!
