Pffft. You wouldn't say that if you'd sat through some of the shit I've had to put up with. Under Trevor Francis I used to sit and read the paper as it was more entertaining than the dross in front of me. Peter Taylor was a Palace hero and did well enough elsewhere, but by **** that was depressing stuff. If there had been such a thing as a Plastic Palace at any of those games they wouldn't have come back next week.
How many would turn up in circumstances? No idea. Surely any figure I give is going to be fantasy, as there's nothing to benchmark it against? I don't personally think a shit(ter) stadium would make a lot of difference to our base support which for last 20 or 30 years has been around 15000 more often then not. I grew up going to matches in the Arthur Wait where there are awful facilities and the toilets are normally three inches deep in piss. Ground share I reckon would devastate our support, as it did yours and Charlton's. But its all speculation since we haven't been through any of that any more than you've been through two administrations. Neither of us know what impact such events would have had on the other.
I don't think there's any hypocrisy in my post, so you'll have to point it out. I reckon a lot of your fanbase increase is fair weathers and have said so, and I'm sure we'll get a few plastics. I really couldn't give a shit though. I dont care if our attendence is higher than Millwall's or yours is higher than ours. Its the kind of thing that wanky Premiership fans argue about because the sad sacks think its some kind of indicator of what makes a better club. I tell you this for nothing, your fans who went to the Withdean every week are worth more than any Man United fan boasting over how many they get in Old Trafford, whether the **** goes every week or not.
It's your defence I find humorous, acting like they your plastics don't exist when they clearly do.
