When we played Arsenal at Selhurst Park there was a guy that came in with his family wearing a yellow Arsenal top in the Arthur Wait looking smug! couldn't believe the sheer audacity

Why does it bother people so much? As long as they are not causing aggro. Dunno why people can't accept a few away fans in the home end. Just pathetic if you ask me.

We're playing Man Utd and their hordes of plastic London and Home Counties followers. Not the same as most games and the OP has it spot on in my view.

The biggest load of tossers in the land bar Chelsea and half the posters on here think its good that we'll have the Croydon Branch of the Cockney Reds in the Palace end.

Any other team with a few respectful and proper fans in our end then no probs but this is Man Utd.

Bloody hell this is a long post, must win one of the end of year awards!
Some bitchy arguments on it thou (very Nigel, apologies to anyone actually called Nigel!) but at least it shows passion which is great to see.
All the violence over football bit don't quite understand, I'm all for violence when it comes to certain things in life & whilst football is certainly important in mine these days it's not worth fighting over. Getting a ban, not worth it, getting a criminal record, not worth it (as I said some things in life are worth risking a criminal record for, having been there done that etc.) Besides anyone stupid enough to fight where the is so much CCTV hasn't really thought it out have they.
Tomorrow this thread will be history, we would have shown the team from the outskirts of Manchester that South London is no easy place to come and their supporters with their 45 minute bus ride that they should support their local team & not whoever gets the most TV coverage.
So b0llo0cks to the arguing over getting in away fans to watch their team getting smashed. After tomorrow performance the Red n Blue will be showing the rest of them that we're in the Prem & plan to stay, next year no away fans will get tickets because will fill the ground ourselves & they won't be any room anyway!

Apologies, I must be getting old, I was more wild in my youth! The Psycho bit is from the Psychobilly music I like, that & the old bill raiding me once & asking if I was known as Paul the Psycho...! Like I said it's not that I'm against violence, just not over football which should be based on enjoyment & banter. I won't say something stupid like 'after all it's just a game...' as it is obviously 'THE GAME'. I sometimes read these thread & think what is everyone arguing about? These threads should be discussions about improvement, improvement in tactics, improvement in how we can support our team. Bickering & arguing about stuff is pointless & gets absolutely no where. Probably the most positive thing happening at the moment is the efforts a few kids in the Whitehorse end are making to get some atmosphere generated over they yet that has received little attention (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152275613611419&set=gm.1468588746690691&type=1&theater). Why doesn't everyone put as much effort into looking how to improve things rather than spend so much time arguing?

Beagle, if you have a decade of buying History for the PALACE surely you can afford a MEMBERSHIP each Season.
You will need it when we are in Europe.!!!!!
