Quote CrystalMH at 01 Oct 2013 10.45am I hate the fact that our first Home Saturday 3pm KO isn't until Novemeber. Will that not also be moved because Everton will probably be in Europe?

Quote chelski at 30 Sep 2013 10.25am Seems you split right down the middle in to: 1/ I love the high profile nature of being their, the teams, the players and the money as opposed to; 2/ those who hate the 'plastic' nature of it and the move away from the 'old style' football club. I appreciate I have simplified this a bit but I think you get the point. To be honest I do respect both view points. Of course you would expect me to be in the first category. However, not just because Chelsea have benefitted from the change in football but because I remember the 'old days' and to be honest I have few nice nostalgic memories of those: the grounds without roofs, the violence, the lack of good football (yes lets be honest, there may have been great players but the football was poor compared to today); the fans treated poorly by the owners; the stadium not just poor but extremely dangerous etc The premier league 'band wagon' gets bigger and better. Football is a business and ALWAYS has been. The very first owners organised a league because they saw profit in it. Fans had less say in the 'good old days' then today e.g. your present owners seem much more approachable then your previous ones?? Today Chelsea's world wide fan base has grown from 30 million to 300 million in just a few years. That changes the nature of the club and yes you get 'tourist fans' but thats the consequence of getting big. However I go every week and the core of supporters doesnt really change. There were no 'tourists' in the Chelsea end at Munich!! I think in the end if you dont like the way footballs gone your view should be respected but the harsh truth is, 'jump on the band wagon and enjoy the excitement' or go watch non league (nothing wrong with that by the way). I know someone who went to that with a few mates who between them had prob been less than 10 times that season. No idea how they got tickets tbh but ive seen the pictures!

I enjoy the praise our fans are getting and rightly so, its been a long time coming for everyone else to realise how good we are as fans! I love how going up has pretty much transformed our club in the long run. Although apart from the above, I'm not enjoying it one bit..... maybe because we aren't winning, but I enjoyed watching Palace more in the Champ than the Prem, so far! Glad All Over!

I love the coverage on Sky and BT Sport in the Prem compared to the championship because at the moment my health prevents me getting to live matches. I hate the fact that we have bought a load of sh*te players rather than trying to persevere with what we had perhaps with a few imports, rather than getting 16 new players of which 2 have been loaned/released already. I loved the 60's/70's when you could just turn up at 3pm on a Saturday for a match and stand where you like pretty much. Football has lost its soul.

The media bias is painful, both broadcast and print. It is very difficult to watch a close fought game and then read the review in the broadsheet or red top about how the established team "walked it". If we win, the review oft he game focuses on some trouble the opposition is suffering, perhaps in order to explain how we only won as a consequence of said failing. The problem is articles by those with little or no knowledge or interest in us, wholly written before kick-off and only topped and tailed after the game to detail when the goals went in and who scored them. The TV coverage is even worse. Otherwise, I actualy enjoy being in the circus, although the sudden appearance of mass moaners on this site with quite extraordinarily inflated expectations is something I could do without.

Personally I hate it £55 a game to walk into a library full of fecking tourists who like watching their team dive around like complete tossers and referees that work for the Prem to make sure the top boys stay where they are! Liverpool , Man Utd and Chelsea all have lost their soul, sold out! The famous Kop, Stretford and Shed...f*** me ive heard more noise at my sons Saturday match, embarrassing. Bollox to it, give me peterboro away all day long, with its £3 hotdogs, rickety old terracing and that thing called atmosphere! Fecking circus , you are welcome to it. Other than that .....

Championship. That is all. At least it's competitive and isn't a living breathing circus for biased pundits and their sycophantic man-love for the big four. "Look at that. Accident blackspot? These aren't accidents! They're throwing themselves into the road gladly! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness!"

Personally not as excited about playing in the Prem as I thought I'd be. For me, and not just looking back but actually on a game to game basis - even when we started the season as relegation favourites, last season was the best and most exciting I've experienced as a football fan. The thought of going away to Leeds, forest, brighton etc, far more exciting than the prospect of man city, Chelsea arsenal. But that's just my honest opinion. It felt like a proper football league with fair competition and the best football fans and crowds - things money and foreign owners can't buy, and the fact I'm sitting here now saying this whilst we are a premier league club at least shows I'm being genuine. I felt more pumped up about going to watch us play Ipswich than I did about spurs. Hillsboro... Sheffield Weds 2 - 2 Palace. WHAT a day!
