More like 12,000.
I've been saying all along that it won't be a reserve team. We will have quite a few players that have played this season and others that have played in The Championship. Are the majority of our fans too good for them now?

I was a STH at Gillingham and Withdean and I'm not going tomorrow night. Same as @Bozza, I believe.
So there's two to start your survey - possibly not with the results you had in mind.

Whats the atmosphere like in WL behind the dugouts. Thought I'd sit here for a change, the only 2 blocks sold out, so will be full at least. Much singing ?

There will always be rogue ones! But I bet there is a general trend.
To even it out at least, six of us are going tomorrow night, five of us went to Gillingham and Withdean.

The fact that we don’t have a reserve team would point to that.
Exactly, although I must add that the travel subsidy is included in the ticket price.
I didn't buy the 'plastic fan' argument before all this happened. Really starting to wonder now. Maybe the Palace fans have been right the whole time. That hurts.
Completely agree, it’s pathetic. And kind of backs up everything Palace day about our support.
Well tell that to all the fans not going because they don't want to watch our 'reserve' team. Their term, not mine.
And I bet there isn't. At least 10 reasons have been given for not attending tomorrow, and everyone is going to have their own combination of those reasons.

Genuine question. If we beat Palace and draw Man City at Home will you go to that?
Yep, this was one of our biggest chances to prove them wrong. We will be continually laughed at as rivals.
4th round at home to Man City? Well, Palace fans weren't interest in that - and yet you seem to be worried what they think about us.

Good point.
But I was asking you whether you’d be more inclined to attend not Palace fans.

I'm pretty sure we have a much larger following more than 10 miles away compared to boro due to geography

That's the last 4 league attendances at selhurst against us and that includes a playoff semi
If it was an evening game? Definitely not. Weekend? Probably not. I don't think the FA Cup is a priority for the club this season (or many others), so it's not for me.
As I live in London, I'd be more inclined to go if a fourth-round match was away in the capital (any club). More accessible and more fun.

Aye....people seem to forget that for over half the recent league game the atmosphere was pretty crap

I had a feeling I would have to explain that but @The red pepper kid has done it for me.

People can reel off stats and theories about Palace's shite plastic support, this is a thread about ours, and what is going to be a woeful attendance against our biggest rivals. I don't give a toss how crap their gate was against Man City in the cup, I care that our stadium is going to be half empty tomorrow, when we can sell out against Stoke on the same night of the week.
I don't think people get how bad this is going to look for us.
A half empty stadium against our arch rivals. It shouldn't matter if it's in the Cup.
I reckon more fans of other clubs will be watching this one on the TV too because of the VAR, and they are going to think we are small time.
List all the excuses you want. It's not going to make a difference to them.
Perhaps 10,000 of our fans live over 50 miles away, and so can't get to the game. If that is the case, then this has been a total over reaction on my part.
