I started supporting Palace on the Holmesdale terrace as a 6 year old in 1963.

Over the years I've invested more time and money in supporting the club than 99% of other fans I would say, but it makes me just a loyal fan.

I don't remember the other Palace fans having a whip round to pay for my trip to Southend to watch Palace away after work on a friday night and not getting there till half-time due to traffic either.

In that time I've had very few reasons to not watch the action 100% and get behind the team vocally let alone prepare beforehand a ripped up bedsheet with Fabreze or whatever written on it and demonstrate in front of the Holmesdale dressed like a terrorist on a mission.

The HF seem to think they are a mouthpiece for every Palace fan with their crusade against Sky and other political statements.... and they have the cheek to look for donations to fund these "displays" which often look amateurish and embarrassing.

If anyone is a "helmet" it's you for not having the balls to tell the HF that they don't own the right to hijack our home and away games and should stick to singing songs and wearing our actual colours instead of looking like the phantom flan flinger from TISWAS. They could do worse than get in sync with the lads in the Arthur who don't look for overblown gestures or displays and just loyally belt out Palace songs that we can all join in with.

Tools and helmets..... interesting adjectives to describe fellow fans by the way.... what a charmer.

Ohhhh....you mean this was an opportunistic p!sstake meant to belittle a section of Palace supporters who have the unending temerity to pitch up every week in all weathers, sing their hearts out while refusing to conform with the norms of footy fashion?

So your happy with all the money in football going up the ladder yeah?
Happy with your kids or nephews/nieces or friends children having minimal chance to buy a property in the future and probably paying the extortionate rent these rich will charge who develop and then buy/rent out property instead of leaving as parks or community areas yeah?
Happy with tesco/Sainsburys buying up small businesses then shutting them down so your forced to go buy their dying/pesticide ridden fruit and veg yeah?
Happy with having no decent clubs to socialise in anymore?
Hence they divide and conquer. Maybe your an agent!!
I'd say a football club can do a little more than just football when they can reach 20k/30,000 people.

Gees I bet MLK/Ali/Corbyn was/is boring and embarrassing to you!!
