I’d be over the moon if we had a couple of seasons in the top league (full houses, get to do the big away grounds) then get relegated (get to see loads more goals/wins, do a few of the championship away grounds). I know promotion isn’t guaranteed/easy , but if we could spend a few years in each league it would be ideal for me. Get the parachute payments, play millwall/charlton as well as maybe winning a league, play off finals.
More youngsters would get a chance , all the high earners would have clauses saying that would get reduced wages when relegated.
8 odd years in the top league and we haven’t improved Selhurst at all, I know the training ground is getting sorted.
The atmosphere would always be great, either fighting for promotion, or a first year in the premier league.
I’ve thought before that city/ Chelsea 50 odd year olds have had a right result, spent their 20s/ early 30s going to the ‘proper grounds’ coming away disappointed, understanding what it’s like to not be that good. Then reach their mid 30s/40s (when they are chilling out a bit and probably getting a few more quid) and they are winning leagues and going to the San Siro/ Nou camp.etc.
I know if we get relegated we might not come back up again for ages or ever. Watford, Norwich, West Brom seem to have it sussed.

Yes all fine and dandy but you’re forgetting a few things....We almost went out of existence twice. We were lucky not to get relegated to League 1 , We were loosing on average £4m a season, We also had to endure some really really toilet football in the Championship too...The grass isn’t always greener and in fact it can be downright dangerous

I’m not forgetting any of that.
Badly run football club, feel more sorry for the small local businesses
That got knocked, than the c*Nts that ran the club. The football was no worse than the last few years.
I’m talking about a world where we would get relegated for a couple of years then get promoted again.
The grass isn’t always greener? Have you been palace the last few years , the football is dire, the atmosphere is pony.
If we went up and down, would be great, probably unrealistic, but as a fan that will never challenge for the trophies , would be good for me.

All of this is true. All the time we are in the Premier league we should at least be able to feel that the continued existence of the club is assured, and that's probably the main thing.

One other point I think gets overlooked when people pine for a period in the championship is that all the good times we had in that league were before we found out how dull and dispiriting being an 'established' Premier league side actually is.

Competing in the championship when you don't actually want, or at least don't feel excited by, the greater implications of promotion would not only be very different to those good days we had in that league, it would also be a bizarre, probably unpleasant experience within itself.

Your opinion mate. No problem with that.

Biggest /best Palace games in the last 30 years?
-4-3 Liverpool at villa Pk
-Blackburn play off game at home (Wright bright)
-zenith cup final
-fa cup final x 2
-Stockport away
-sheff we’d away
-5-0 Brighton at home
-Brighton playoff final away
-Watford play off final Wembley

You could argue 3-3 Liverpool at home. How many of the best/ biggest games have been in the premier league ?
