Mind you, being in the prem gives you something to shout about really.

Be careful Dodo, you are messing with the elite of the NSC.
You'll either be banned, or worse still, called a rude word by Buzzer.
You have been warned .

Yes you can :shrug:

I'm from the 'old school'

I love the comfort and facilities of our new stadium but there is still something special about visiting the traditional style of 'separate stand' stadia - football will lose something when the last of them is pulled down.

Nicer experience, better stadium, nicer people, city not burned down, no nasty cladding, real ale, large gay community, stadium with a view, greater vocabulary, no net curtains, city next to the sea, better understanding of architectural concepts, award-winning pies - do you want me to go on?

Of course, if you really believe Parkhurst Cell is better, it shouts all we need to know about you.

I will concede the concept of shallowness to you, though.

Have you noticed the cladding at the Amex ?

And all that in div 2.

Go and have a look at Selhurst's nasty (you evidently missed that word - well done) cladding, and compare that at the Amex. Another fail on your part.

So there you are in a temporary, transitory state in the top division, and somehow you're still knee-deep in obloquy.

I do feel a bit sorry for CP supporters and this cladding debacle, it's like when you were a kid and the other kids at school were wearing something really cool and you begged your Mum to get it for you, one day you come home and there is a similar thing but from Tesco's own range. Still, chin up, we can't all be hip to the groove Daddy-o.

Going back a few years now but my little brother desperately wanted the latest Nintendo games console for Christmas. My nan said she'd buy it for him. He was delighted. Under the tree sat the perfectly wrapped present. Chris would check it every day and his excitement grew as time passed.. when Christmas arrived, [MENTION=579]Drumstick[/MENTION] feverishly tore at the delicate wrapping paper only to reveal... a SNES.

Thanks so much for the new trainers, Mum.

No, really, 4 stripes is fine.

Look past the cladding and the odd stands, and you'll see a stadium heaped in history and brilliant memories.
Not a lover of modern stadia I'm afraid, too sterile and corporate.

Come on mate, it's the ugliest looking thing you've ever seen! Admit it!

I'm surprised most of your customers had a chance to have a really good look at your ground what with them having to read the words of your club anthem in the programme so as they can have a sing song.
When they can be bothered. That is.

The cladding is there to hide the stadium.

That should tell you everything.

A post of absolutely no meaning.

When Buzzer said you're the gift that keeps giving, he didn't mean for you to continuously prove it.

Good call - that really happens, obviously. Every game. Every program.

They must just miss those pages out of my copy. Every week.

By the way - you got ONE thing right - what we do have is a CLUB ANTHEM. A stirring and fabulous anthem. The marching song of the Sussex Regiment.

You have 'Glad All Over' by the Dave Clark Five.

You never could, and never will be able to buy class.

Thanks for bringing this up - Its a perfect example, of how you couldn't be more wrong when you say that 'attendances are the ONLY thing' we have on you. We are Brighton, pal. You are Palace - you'll never get it - but we will never, ever be JEALOUS of you, whatever respective leagues we ever find ourselves in.

I'm of the opinion that the cladding is there to dress Archibald Leitch's historical masterpiece :wink:

And a better ground. And a more exciting manager. And better prospects. And we'll have better training facilities in a couple of months.

Even then we're more vocal/louder.

So the Palace posters on here claim, but whenever I see Palace at Sellhurst, it goes quiet.

And the net curtains are a flourish that adds to the overall lustre.

It's alright Trig
You're conference standard to the other (PLR) posters.
