I did a rallying call of the troops on Friday and none are going, so neither am I, quite disappointed to be fair.

You can't buy a guest ticket if they haven't been before so it would have to be bought in the STHs name so we gave up,

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
Like an eejet I bought tickets very quickly because it's the scummers and I thought I'd lose my seat if I dallied. Now wished i'd waited and used the cup to try out new seats again (one of the joys of a smaller crowd). Saddened by the lack of interest but not surprised due to all the "new" found fans just not getting it. However, I really don't care and I'm hopeful the atmosphere will still be good with those going really wanting the win. I'm still hoping to buy party poppers to let off in reply to the Palace Ultras and their big bang flares, if they dare.
will we be seeing you at WBA?
No, can't afford it after going to 6 away games already this season and have the small matter of a meaningless reserve game tomorrow.
So what other games wouldn't you go to if you hadn't already paid for it?
Fair enough if you don't care about the rivalry. Seems to be a trend.

I can't wait.
Brighton v Palace at the Amex, bloody brilliant.

So how many PL games do you think people would turn up for if they hadn't already paid for it?
I guess the 5,000 that bought tickets for the Stoke game are all coming to the Palace game then, leaving only 7,000 STH's going.
Looked on the BBS earlier and they said they had less than 20 to sell and it isn't on general sale.

Sorry state of affairs when people are only interested in the Premier League and see our presence in it as the be all and end all. That applies to the club as well as fans. I appreciate from TB's perspective that being in the PL is the only way he'll have a chance of seeing some of his millions back but not sure I'm going to really enjoy the next ten years of relegation battles!!!
We are slowly turning into the money grabbing scum that for years through our struggles we used to look down our noses at from our lofty tower of integrity.
Had to happen I suppose.

That was lower league against prem opponents. This is 2 established prem teams both with reserve line ups.
I wouldn't go on ANY home cup game on a Monday, if that's what you're getting that.
As I said elsewhere, I think the rivalry is strong enough to endure my non-attendance.
First 'derby' I've missed for at least 15 years, btw. *doffs cap*
I bought two tickets on one account.

Hope they announce on Tuesday that a million loyalty points have been added to everyone who attended the Palace game, therefore all of these fans have first dibs on all remaining fixtures.
Won't happen, obviously, but I wonder how many more would go if there was more loyalty points?
You shouldn't need points to be loyal.

You need to work on them.
We are not an established PL team and we won't be using our reserves. Do you think Hemed and Kayal are reserves?
No, it wasn't what I was getting at.
Yes, they are, in that as a matter of course they wouldn't make Chris Hughton's first choice starting XI.
You shouldn't need to be bribed to go to an FA Cup game against your arch rivals, no matter what day it's on.
So suddenly you wouldn't want to watch the players that got us to the PL in the first place?
What do you think the team will be?
No, I want to watch a game where both clubs and managers were trying their damnedest to win, and selected their full strength side to try and do just that. That would be treating the rivalry with the reverence it deserves. It would mean winning (and losing for that matter) counted for something.
As it is, for me at least, it doesn't at all. Losers to winners tomorrow night: "You beat our reserves - so what? See you in April."
All goes out of the window for me because it's Palace. If they win don't they make the head to head even? Or will be one behind, something like that.
At the end of the day, we don't know what the team will be or how much the players will want to win it. But the fans there will want to win it just the same as ever, although it might not feel like that now.
