its not the FA its the police that have major input on fixtures that have know history of trouble when best to play them

Some police advice for traveling Palace fans.

1. Turn up early and wait to be kettled by the police and held up until a few minutes before the game.
2. Miss the game because you turned up late and the Stewards wont let you in.
3. No need to bring knuckledusters and knives the police will provide them.
4. Stay in the ground after the police lock you in until you have missed your last train home.

Have a nice day.

One more point

The history of trouble since they moved into the Amex is pretty minimal with most of the matches passing off with little trouble and few arrests. The fact that Sussex plot find it so difficult to handle one potentially troublesome match a season is pretty pathetic. If they are incapable, get the Met to police the match for them, I'm sure they would appreciate the day out and the overtime.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

I get the impression we're not very welcome?

5. Get kettled onto some train that's going nowhere near where you live.

6. If you argue with us we will clamp one of these Dobermans onto your John Thomas.

7. Don't bother writing in to complain because we'll just close ranks, cover up and make inane statements full of obvious porkies.

8. Please note that we are all weed fans.
