I mean seriously, who the f*** goes to a football match and sits somewhere you can't support your team and have to follow a "respected behaviour" code? Does the entrance to Club Wembley just say "w***ers this way"? Edited by sydtheeagle (12 May 2016 6.38pm) Plenty of Palace will be in there from all walks of life and good luck to them. I am glad to be amongst our fans but CW is a great second options for those unable to get a ticket. Rather that than watching it on the tv. If i had to i would go in the united end just to be there.

Syd wonders who goes to a football match and follows respected behaviour etc, Steve, Stephen, Martin and Jeremy, or are they not supporters, as for w.......ks I bow to his greater knowledge on that one, by the way I am in club Wembley, have supported, and I mean supported palace for 58years, since I was seven, 30 plus years of unbroken season ticket holder, and I sit in the directors box, and just because at my age, that I want to pay for comfort, does not make me less of a supporter, I suspect you may have millwall chip on the shoulder tendencies Club Wembley is no more comfortable than any other seat. Wel,, perhaps a little but not enough to make a difference. It's not like Wembley is a s***ty old stadium and the hospitality areas are the only places with decent seats and view. The trade off is fast access to prawn sandwiches and a bar in exchange for sitting somewhere with zero atmosphere. Sure, if there was no other option at all I'd sit anywhere but I'm presuming from the sounds of it Club Wembley was your choice. As for CPFC2010 well, they'll be in the directors box and not Club Wembley, won't they?

Via the ticket sites, because they hold debentures or through friends or employers that hold them. Your comments knock anyone sitting in those seats. Also, many of our older and less robust fans might just want to avoid our more boisterous fans. We all know you are likely to have half a ton of maniacal supporters land on you when we score in most of our areas. Palace is Palace, whether or not you are called Giles, Tarquin or Tomothy.

I am also in club Wembley, east end of the ground. I have been informed that there will be a mixture of Palace, Man U and neutrals in all parts of CW.

I've been unable to get tickets any other way than Club Wembley. I have been really lucky to be given one... however they are in the manure end. At least I know that wearing a palace shirt won't be an option, so I won't run in to that problem! Does anyone know how partisan CW is? Will I get thrown out for celebrating a palace goal? I'm not sure I will be able to stop myself! Mixture of fans in CW and feel free to go mental each time we score. Would also piss in a cup and share that with the Mancs should they get a consolation goal.

Edited by Mapletree (16 May 2016 9.18am) To be fair, Mapletree, I did say quite clearly that if there was no other option then I would sit in Club Wembley myself. Totally agree that if it's the only way to get in, then take it. I know I would. But what I also said is that I simply don't understand why you'd choose to go there if you had an alternative. Wembley is a modern, comfortable stadium in all areas and unless you are literally physically enfeebled, much less than robust, I'd have thought that celebrating a goal was pretty much a core part of the football experience, as would be soaking in the atmosphere sitting among you own fans. We can agree to disagree, but you clearly didn't read my post carefully or respond to the substance of my point.

I beg to differ You were indicating that anyone sitting in CW was either unlucky or a fool. The individual concerned appears to be 65 and prefer the quiet life. SEE didn't give us much in the way of options to select tickets. Had this gentleman gone for a less boisterous part of the ground that wasn't CW he would have been in the Gods, potentially not great to get up to and possibly not a great viewing experience. My own experiences at every Wembley match I have been to were of having a tsunami of good natured but relatively heavy Palace fans fall upon me at least once during the game. Personally I enjoy the rough and tumble but I am not (yet) particularly fragile. So in your opinion being in CW isn't your best option but decrying people who believe it is their best option is not appropriate. For some people prawn sandwiches are more edible than meat rolls.

I'm in 213, so right in the heart of the manure fans, I'll just have to practice my dodge duck dip dive and dodge for any incoming objects when celebrating.
