Just received this from the club:
We are writing to make you aware of a very serious matter, one that we hope you will support us on. For context, Selhurst Park is licenced by the Sports Ground Safety Authority (SGSA) and Croydon Council as an all-seater stadium. Unfortunately, the club has now come to the attention of both organisations due to persistent standing in the Lower Holmesdale. Both the SGSA and the Council have informed the club that if persistent standing in this stand continues, it is within their rights to impose sanctions of a capacity reduction. This could mean around 500 supporters would have to be moved out of the stand, and as a result you could be directly affected. Persistent standing can have a negative impact on the safety of supporters due to the increased risk of crush injuries, aisles and gangways being blocked, which also affects emergency exit routes. The enjoyment and matchday experience of other supporters can also be adversely affected by having their view blocked or the space around them being crowded. Standing during the following is not classed as persistent standing as long as supporters return to their seat as quickly as possible – and we fully expect supporters to stand during these times: At times of excitement during play (eg. a goal chance)
Thanks for your understanding and support on this matter. CPFC

There are standing areas at other clubs now. Trust our club and our council to be causing a problem. The council are literally a hindrance to us. We should show them what the borough would be like without a football club. They don't seem to notice it's one of the very few reasons to go to Croydon at all.

Good luck trying to get the HF to sit down I'm confident to predict that they won't be among the 500 moved if the club has to dish out the punishment!
