Why don’t they move to block u of the Arthur? That block is always on general sale so can’t have many season tickets in it. It’s restricted view in parts but that shouldn’t bother them and they can drown out the away fans.

I would doubt they are still coming. Reason? Steve Browett said Selhurst Park has been a technical sell out since the club was promoted. Why a 'technical' sell out? Because there are seats available on most match days but the club are not allowed to put them on general sale as the are seats that under league rules have to be set asside for disabled, away fans, pay on the day supporters, etc. Each season between 5-10% don't renew their tickets which does mean that there are seats available each season. Priority is given to existing ST holders who want to move then they go on sale to people on the waiting list. In addition to this, presumably, there will be a number of people wanting to move into the 100 seats in block B
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Bit of a gamble if you want to attend this season?

Interesting, the article says they have not disbanded, and they are working with the club to find a solution.

Do the HF now have a media person? The article doesn't have any quotes and could have been cobbled together from forum postings. I prefer the idea of a nervous reporter meeting with dark clad figures on a wet night in the Norwood Junction underpass
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

We can argue as much as we like about the atmosphere they brought but The HF were approx 100 people in Block B our average attendance last year was over 25000. There is a waiting list for season tickets so even if all 100 people decided not to attend financial implications to club are minimal. If they had been sensible they would have asked for move behind goal and taken seats as they became available, Slowly they could then have taken over their chosen place. The Club itself is fairly powerless even if they wanted to force through the changes. They would have been unwilling to move current season ticket holders without their agreement. By giving up their season tickets there is little if any chance of them getting a block of 100 until new stand is built or if a safe standing trial is undertaken

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