Saw in the Standard that Parrish is meeting fans from block E

[Link]

Trivial fact - Palace used to win 5-1 at least once a season, maybe next season?

It is the Isley46 post that palace in frog land comments on that I refer to. Isley46 clearly has his finger on the pulse of CPFC.

"Palace, though, are committed to creating a large signing section in the area behind the goal and will not go back on their decision"

Is that the singing equivalent of 'jazz hands' clapping?

As the club "will not go back on their decision" any discussion seems a bit pointless. Is Parish going to spend the whole meeting with his fingers in his ears going LA LA LA LA!?

Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

"The most arrogant, obnoxious bunch of deluded little sun tanned, loafer wearing mummy's boys I've ever had the misfortune of having to listen to" (Burnley forum)

The so called "fanatics" and Parish have turned CPFC in to a laughing stock.
It's embarrassing that he is pandering to the "singers" at the expense of loyal long standing supporters.

I would like The HF back, but not like this.

Badly handled by the Club, who have seemingly issued no commumication or offered any discussions. How did they think the Fans would react?

The compensation offered seems to be a token gesture. At the very least the displaced fans should be offered a cut price/free season ticket for next season - and first dibs on seat choices in the new stand(at a price equatable to their current ticket). This would at least ensure that the Block E fans would still give the loyal supporters a good seat, and with the newer facilities and could be moved in Groups so the friends who have sat near one another for 10+ years can again sit near each other in the new world,albeit after a year or so in the wilderness.

Personally I cant wait for this sorry episode to end so we can move onto the next Episode....of "A Palace Minute" - this'll be a stonker!

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

I did read with a completely open mind. SP has ultimately to take blame for the problems that now exist. It doesn't matter where you stand on the HF or a singing section but I think everyone agrees the situation from start to current position has been mismanaged. The question is why? and Who ? and are they held responsible.

The fact is that only a very small part of support was consulted. So does the Singing section have support and active support (people who want to take part). How big is that active support among existing supporters? Without this vital info no part of ground should have been allocated.

There are a lot of potential scenarios that could now exist including refusal of planning permission to new stand, Refusal of permission to take part in a safe standing trial. Closure of Lower Holmesdale on safety grounds. The Fact is only time will tell and a lot will depend on behaviour of the Singing section.

What if the season ticket holders who have 25 year tickets challenge these changes in Courts? and win? The fact is with the proper consultation the disruption would have been minimised.
