Apparently a number left on 90 mins at Swansea yesterday to beat the traffic & celebrate the win
(sorry couldn't resist)
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Refused entry after half-time. Standard procedure?

Doesn't explain why Albion fans were leaving the ground at the Brentford game a good 20 minutes before the end, though! (sorry...)

Same as all your home defeats TBH... And at least we have the transport excuse (not that I agree with anyone leaving early unless it's a very good reason I may add).
But 20 minutes early, you were only two down. If Palace fans had left then, say on September 27th 2011....

I think it's a pointless exercise, I don't blame you for being pissed off , I can't see any reason to deny somebody entry.For unforeseen reasons I was delayed on my journey to the game last night and didn't get to the stadium until the second half had started. All the turnstile doors were closed but a steward poked her head out and said "we have been told not to let anyone else" in. Obviously this saved me watching 40 minutes of crud but did deny me a pie.
Is it standard procedure to stop people entering after half-time. I can't see the logic behind it - it's not as if it is the opera. Plus there is no mention of this on the ticket website T&C or Ground Regulations. I've emailed the club asking for a refund as a matter of principle and their initial reply was that it is 'common place' for clubs to stop entry after half-time. It's the first time I have got to a ground so late so have no idea if this is the case or not.
Anyone experienced something similar?

THAT is dedication .
I was watching 'em leave from the South Stand, three by three.. as were all the other Bees supporters around me. I don't know when I will have a chance to see Palace next at the AMEX, do I?

I'd have thought that with the trains being currently unfit for purpose, it would be adding insult to injury for the club to deny anybody with a valid ticket entry at any point in the game. Or at least give them a full refund on their ticket.

Ah I forgot you were there supporting your real team. And yes, when we swap places, I don't for a moment consider the chances of playing crystal palace 2010 likely ever again as you'll be in the middle of admin number 3.

Not that it's really relevant, but I was let in at half time for the Netherlands match at Italia 90. For free too.Put in a little pen sandwiched between the Dutch and neutral's down the opposite end to ours.
As a side note, it was highly amusing to see England fans at both ends ruining the numerous attempts at the Mexican wave by standing up giving a
gesture and proceeding to 'Have a disco'

I suppose those wins years ago is all you've got to cling to at the moment so I'll let you off. Exactly the same would have happened at Selhurst if we'd gone 3-1 up in such a game except it would indeed be less people - just the same %
