“Would you have been one of the ones to move if it had worked in there favour or do you sit elsewhere ?”

Elsewhere, so I accept the implied accusation that it’s easy for me to say. However I’m not far away and if they ever wanted my seat for the greater good then I wouldn’t have a problem with it.

At the end of the day, it’s just a plastic seat for goodness sake. Give them a copy of ‘Who Moved My Cheese?’ and tell them to get over it. I know I’d rather sit in a different seat and enjoy a cracking atmosphere with the stand rocking, than remain where I am watching in a sterile atmosphere.

Before the Holmesdale stand was built the hardcore singers were free to congregate in a central position behind the goal. Going all seater and reducing the capacity put a stop to that. By organising, the HF have been able to recreate those conditions with a few modern embellishments. And it has been a tremendous success. In the anodyne, corporate PL era, our atmosphere stands out. It’s admired on a global basis. It’s what makes us different. And now we want to chuck it away! So self destructive; so Palace.

All of these points made on both sides are fair points. It doesn't change the fact though that love or hate them the HF walked away. Withdrawn support or disbanded as an inner fanbase. Whatever way you look at it they are gone. Ok, some believe they are at the games distributed amongst us but that still removes their presence and their organisation from the club.
This was their choice, no one elses. The club did not ask nor force destruction. That was self imposed. Whats done is done. I personal wont miss them that much but I accept others will and I suppose I sympathise but either way as a club, as a fanbase we must move on.
They may decide to reform and return. Either immediately and bit by bit behind the goal. Or maybe they will wait until the main stand is built. Maybe we'll never see them again. Who knows but no one is bigger than the club. We must move on.

Yes I do sing. What's the BBS got to do with this? This is the HOL.

I do agree with you that people are lying when they say they sing non stop for the whole game. I can admit that I don't sing non-stop for the whole game.

However if you have a go at someone got not singing you will no doubt be retorted by the 'I can support the club however I like'... 'I've been a fan since the 1930s,....'I pay so I can do what I like' etc

I'm tough. I'm ambitious. I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, I'm OK with that.

Sums it up perfectly for me. Whatever we think about thd loss of thd atmosphere, it's thd HF who have decided to jack it in. And from what I can see, have burnt their bridges, fir this season af least. So time to move on.

I want to sit next to Steve Parish but that Mark Bright is always there.

As far as I can work out, no one knows exactly what has gone on between the club and the HF, IF anything, but the conclusion is now that it’s all the HF fault they have throw toys out of their pram because they couldn’t get their own way. something doesn’t make sense here
