Came across this in regards to 'Pools' managers wife, makes sobering reading . . . [Link] This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

In case anyone is interested, here is the pre-match interview with the opposing manager, Graeme Lee [Link] Seems like a nice, humble chap. One of their defenders grew up in Croydon and "could see Selhurst from his house": i assume it is this guy [Link]

I accept there are thousands of causes but some strike home don't they. He does sound like a decent guy but it doesn't mean I don't want us to slaughter them on Saturday!

Originally posted by eagleman13 Came across this in regards to 'Pools' managers wife, makes sobering reading . . . [Link] Makes very emotional reading eagleman. Graeme Lee's wife Gemma would appear to be one heck of a brave lady. It's devastating to live with the knowledge that you have a terminal illness. The whole family seem to be coping very well. If she's at Selhurst on Saturday it would be good if Mr Parish and Co give her (and the kids) a proper Crystal Palace VIP day out. And maybe a donation towards her treatment would be a lovely gesture. But, like Dolphin, I still hope we win the match! Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

3-0. I don’t think we’re capable of scoring more than 3 goals however many chances we create and whatever the quality of the opposing defence. But that’s plenty.

I agree, but would add that it would be nice if our fans could treat the away supporters with some respect. Without being patronising, this is a very big occasion for them, for which they will have travelled a long way. I saw a woman on tv the other day saying "I'm really looking forward to it - I've never been to a Premier League ground before." So please let's have none of the howls of derision and obscene gestures with which away fans are normally treated by some fans at the Whitehorse end. And how about our players also going to applaud them at the end, because I'm sure they'll deserve it. We've already created some goodwill by subsidising their travel; let's not dissipate it with insulting and hostile behaviour.

Hopefully a great atmosphere and no chants about Lewis Dunk

Mwncisee Middlesbrough 04 Feb 22 4.58pm
Being in Boro there are a few Hartlepool fans I work with. A few are traveling down. Like any club's fans there are a few bad eggs but on the whole they are a good bunch, real feeling of community. It is a massive game for them and a lot of excitement and anticipation. Of course they are dreaming of a giant killing but there is no animosity or bad feeling towards Palace, I think they know its a long shot to beat us but that doesn't stop them dreaming. I really hope there is a great atmosphere on Saturday in the right spirit.

cant go tomorrow donated the price of the ticket, knew somebody who passed away from a brain tumour, so sad, 2 young kids left with husband, makes football seem so irrelevant, perhaps some of the prima-donna players could donate, 60K is nothing to them. Sometimes I set out for Ludlow Sometimes I end up in Chepstow

I'm delighted to read the various posts and to see how our club has responded so well to tomorrow's visit of Hartlepool United to Selhurst. Would love to be there, and I am sure it will be a memorable day for everybody. As long as we win! I especially hope Gemma Lee is given a very warm Selhurst welcome. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Would love to be there, and I am sure it will be a memorable day for everybody. As long as we win! I especially hope Gemma Lee is given a very warm Selhurst welcome. Agree also and I have just donated to the appeal which is now at 63% of the target. I am sure that CPFC will look after Mrs. Lee and her family (plus all the other Hartlepool Directors and guests), I hope they enjoy the hospitality and fantastic Selhurst atmosphere. I will just add a slight word of caution about the away travelling supporters and that is to say they have a bit of a reputation on the road. Their final away game is traditionally attended in fancy dress and back in 2011 they dressed as Oompa Loompa’s when playing on the final day at Charlton. Many of them made a weekend of it. There were numerous issues on the Friday night in central London and Saturday morning/lunchtime, plus a fair amount of trouble at the game and London Bridge train station either side of it. Nearly 5,000 Poolies, a lot of whom will have made a weekend of it and who will have been drinking heavily - this has the potential to spoil somebody’s afternoon so please keep your wits about you people.

Sitting in my sister's place near Milton Keynes so I won't be at the game. We lost my brother in law (47) in 2020 to lung cancer so even though I'm a miserable tight b****** I had to give £20 for Simon. Good luck Gemma. Glad to hear to there is a drug helping

Looking at the Just Giving page it is truly wonderful to see all the many donations from the Palace Community. It would be amazing to get her to the total before Kick Off at 3pm this afternoon. It’s a huge ask but the fund has doubled since yesterday so it’s not out of the question. Once again for anyone who would like to donate here is the [Link] COYP.
