Pricing is one of the big issues, when I was a kid my parents took me & my 2 siblings to games, won promotion in 79 & that was it, priced out of going following the price hike. I got involved in other things and wasn't until a few years ago when my kids started getting into football I started taking them to games. I know the prices are good value compared to other teams but it's an expensive day out whatever way you look at it. If we kept the prices down we would attract more supporters who might otherwise lean towards another London team but are priced out, a generation later & their kids will be Palace through & through.

Keep what we have but update it. 25,000/30,000 maximum is big enough for us. A full rocking,noisy Selhurst as opposed to one that has 25/30k (if we're lucky) in a 40k stadium,apart from the odd game when every tom,dick and harry wants a ticket,cos they have supported Palace for years but just cant seem to get the less attractive games We're not one of the big boys in this league, stay within our means, fill up what we have every game and then look where we are say 5 to 10 years down the road

32k should be around be the most we will ever get for a stadium and thats based on a few season in the premiership. Completely agree it has to be tiered with the top tier sold out. Why not cheapen ticket prices to get more people to come? Anyone calling for 35/40 simply need to look at this where are these 20,000 extra people coming from? IN mid 80s our attendence was down to 6500 average, how awful would that look nowadays? I also feel more fans waters down the atmosphere, certainly did on saturday, would rather a loftus road type ground, compact, personally, but if it most go ahead 32 sounds about right.

There is a massive potential to increase our attendances and fan base locally you only have to look at the number of kids wandering around croydon in arsenal /chelsea tops. This is of course linked directly to our success on the pitch and ability to remain in the prem. Championship footie next season would definately slow our growth whereas another year in the prem accelerate it. Stadium improvements are necessary in both scenarios.

In vancouver, the white caps play in a massive stadium, the entire top tier that wraps around the pitch is empty and partially hidden with blinds - looks pathetic. I reckon we should aim for 35k i have often wondered if we built a 40k stadium but half way up a tier, it had a short term wall, behind it space for extra seats. anyways, we need to stay in prem first
This was once a quality forum.... |
