But then, this is Palace afterall. [Link]

Just to me it seems weird to email thousands to move about a 100 to the front of the middle? Not all of the Holmesdale is even season tickets, so it seems even weirder that they'd then email with regards to that. Either way, massive balls up on the Palace PR side of things. As someone on Twitter said, lower league infrastructure right there. [Link]

Explain why in the e mail ffs , don’t use some bollocks line like they sent out offering zero explanation leaving themselves wide open to being questioned in regards to the motives. It’s f***ing basic communication to your customers.

Do you defend them fiercely like you do Croydon? (Joke) Which block does the standing end and which block are you in? That's the important bit. COYP

Somebody always has to be first, and from what I’ve read after a quick google search is that Shrewsbury are quite far down the line of making it happen. I’m not saying that the reason for the delay in lower holmesdale season ticket renewal is this, but I don’t think it should be dismissed out of hand. There seems to be a bigger backing than there has for a long time to trial this now. has resisted writing a single post on the Ross McCormack thread !!!

I have supported palace since the 1960s long before the fanatics were even born, they create a good atmosphere where they are, just leave things as they are I know the people in front, to the side and behind me, and I want to keep it that way!! I presume the discount on early renewal will still apply when the club make up their mind??

If the club are planning on making changes then the communication should have stated clearly what those proposals are so that those affected would be able to make informed responses. Instead they have created an atmosphere of uncertainty with the suggestion that the next move will to be present a fait accompli.

I presume the discount on early renewal will still apply when the club make up their mind?? Never understand this arguement. How old were you at your first game? Lets say you were 12 and I was 7, assuming we live until the exact same age I have the potential to be a better fan? I've not had the opportunity to watch Palace since the 1960's so does that make you a better fan than me? Confusing stuff.

topcat Holmesdale / Surbiton 26 Feb 18 11.09am
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. 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 think that the most confusing aspect is the fact "better fan " wasn't even mentioned and praise was given to the HF. Could you highlight exactly what makes you think CRE was saying he's a better fan? Edited by Park Road (26 Feb 2018 11.10am)

I presume the discount on early renewal will still apply when the club make up their mind?? Agree with you - being in block F means I occasionally need to stand when others do during a match. With the fanatics (who are great) possible being moved to the middle will mean all of us will be standing throughout. Would rather the fanatics keep to their present position.
