Originally posted by Park Road I think that the most confusing aspect is the fact "better fan " wasn't even mentioned and praise was given to the HF.

Edited by Park Road (26 Feb 2018 11.10am) I thought he had highlighted in original reply, why CRE was saying he was a better fan. I have supported palace since the 1960s long before the fanatics were even born What other inference can be taken from this other than the longer you've supported Palace the more valuable/respected/important etc you are

So now the club are criticised for warning people too early. It obviously didn’t affect the atmosphere.

As CRE said fans don't even know for definite whether they will be eligible for the early bird discount. Yes we all know they should be but we all knew we needed another striker!! fans can't even buy a ticket to have allocated a seat later. The fans I know in the lower Holmesdale, which admittedly is only a few all feel royally pissed off. Edited by Y Ddraig Goch (26 Feb 2018 12.16pm) the dignified don't even enter in the game

The Trust have contacted Phil Alexander and specifically asked if this related to moving the HF and he was not prepared to comment further other that to say "it's under review" I would suggest therefore that no one rings the club on a premium rate line as suggested in their email as you will not get any information at this time. We will continue to press for an early answer. A lie is halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its boots on Sainsburys do not have a lease on their store - they own it outright together with both carparks.

The problem with the e-mail that was sent out is the fact it is 'cryptic' and doesn't give anyone any information or clues as to what is potentially going to be happening in the Lower Holmesdale and why. As a result, this has, naturally, led to many rumours and speculation doing the rounds as to what is going on, which is to be expected when you give out zero information. It's poor from the club as far as I'm concerned. The general feeling amongst most people I spoke to yesterday in the HOL (some who were not even aware of the e-mail being sent) was that they are fearful and angry over any potential announcement if it does indeed mean moving people from their seats, many of which have been there for the 24 years since the Holmesdale opened in its current form.

The people who think possible alterations to the Holmesdale are secondary to the fact that they’ve had a season ticket in the same place for years are probably the same people who think local residents objecting to the new main stand should just f*ck off. Edited by Beastie (26 Feb 2018 12.32pm)

Originally posted by topcat I can only imagine that it is something that has recently come up that has forced Palace to delay the ST renewals in the Lower Tier. It's odd that the club hasn't hinted at what the delay could be but getting wound up about it in advance isn't going to change anything. Some of our group know people in the HF and they swear that this hasn't come from them. Obviously this wont stop people using it as a stick to beat them with though. People in the Arthur have been moved about quite a lot over the years and I don't remember this much whining from them. Not really the same. Lots of wriggle room and choice when you're moved to be where you want and who you want to sit with. In the championship there was acres of space. Not the same in the lower Holmesdale. COYP

And that is my point - the email they sent was dismissive and not in keeping with the culture that the club has been building. Old, Ungifted and White

eaglesfans 26 Feb 18 2.50pm
Whatever the thoughts are it strikes me as wholly inefficient not to have details ready to announce now or better still seek customers views on reconfiguring the Holmesdale lower tier. As a ST holder for so long I cant remember and moved to block F Holmesdale just after stand opened having moved from family area as boys got older i am dismayed at maybe having to consider my renewal based on certain segments of crowd being moved or as a result of me and my family ad large friend group seated around us being asked to move. Let be honest I like the noise of the fanatics but if they are moved they will stand all game and i will have to as well. I pay for a seat to sit in don't mind the occasional need to leap up .As i get older maybe I wont be able to cope with that ,just Like some old folk around me that are long term fans. Certainly they could not handle 90 minutes standing There is an element in football that don't care about others in this respect . Current arrangements work well .Fanatics to one side is a reasonable compromise. Sadly should fanatics be moved (And I know this is just a wild rumour stage) behind the goal then its bad news for the club as what is no doubt a limited number of idiots who are rogue members or hangers on will bring bad press with their coin throwing ,odd incursions on the pitch unreasonable bating of opponent players and officials being even more tempting and in the eye of the cameras
