this. who the f*** supports palace that doesnt live in or near the area?
man utd, liverpool, chelsea, arsenal etc yes but palace?
and the answer is probably not unless we win the fa cup or premier league. or get into the champions league. basically to build you fanbase big time worldwide you need to be successful at the top of the game and be on tele most weeks.

Outside of grimy Norwood, have only ever heard or come across 3 CP fans, and 2 had given up due to their steady decline over the last 15 years

Depends I suppose, if we win the top league about 10 times & European Cup at least 3 times, then who knows! I probably won't be around to see any of that 
I'd be happy to walk into a sports shop in London & see our kit on sale, then I would believe we've truly made it!

People shouldn't support a team that doesn't represent them anyway !
If there was no TV then everyone would naturally support the team who played for their local area or had a personal connection with them ( dads team, place of birth etc)
Only glory hunters that support winning teams on TV

I managed to get a guy from Spain to support us as his English team. He lives in Madrid, so there's at least one foreign fan.

Yeah Brighton gets some support from around the world. I know several people who have been to games at the AMEX from the Toronto area so they could see the new stadium and have ended up falling in love with the team and keeping close tabs on how you do. Many people are adopting Brighton as a new team to follow (can't really say support) as they want to have someone new to watch when Brighton ultimately make it to the top flight.
FWIW I've never even heard anyone around here mention Palace.

Well, I found dropping Palace in to be quite funny as it was obviously an ironic quip. Like when I was talking about the vest goalkeepers in our history and mentioned Nicky Rust.... Lighten up

We have players & coaches who represented those countries at the highest level.
Crystal palace are known as the team that had to sell zaha & set fire to their own town

Thank You! Wasn't intending to 'fish' at all.

Really? When did that happen? You'd have thought someone would have been told about it.
No Palace fans are known to have been involved in Croydon arson. A number of Arsenal fans were though, mainly from elsewhere.
But it's quite amusing when when you sing about us burning our town down. Hope you feel the same way about the banter Brighton gets.
