16,000 When top of the league.....

[Cakey86]

Does this mean the nigels will struggle to get 20,000 against us again! Pretty shocking considering yesterday there must have been what 1,500 derby fans. If the 'massive' club do manage to scrape together 20k for us then surely they have to be considered more plastic then any of our 24,000 plus who the majority are there week in week out not just for the pikeys at home.

We are looking tin pot

For fucks sake give it a rest, it's getting embarrassing now.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Seriously though,they'ed used to get big gates back in the 70's

What's happened to their fan base

Didn't they get 50k for the Burnley match,when they nicked the title from us?

 

[Notters]

To be fair if they had a stadium like ours they'd have decent crowds.

 

[Cakey86]

Need a big crowd for this one though surely as last years atmosphere was nothing like the 1-0 well thats what i thought anyway

They've lost a lot of new fans to the premier league London clubs. I must admit to feeling a little sorry for them in that respect. Their traditional fanbase is now either at Stamford Bridge or watching Sky. Their decrepit stadium doesn't help. We are more fortunate in that we are relatively far from other clubs.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Weird. That Palace are top of the league is being used as part of stick to beat them with.

Crazy.

 

[patchamalbion]

another one

i know i don't have to comment if i don't like it blah blah blah but we look so tinpot

 

[brightonmark1234]

why cant they fill there ground as they are top of league shocking

 

[smeariestbat]

to be fair, its probably all the palace fans with albion names that are starting all these threads. cant imagine actual albion supporters being THIS obsessed with palace.

What's happened to their fan base

The police councils and bailiffs keep closing the caravan sites. The residents of the surrounding areas of Croydon have found more worthwhile pastimes like supporting Chelsea or Brighton and even Crawley for some.

So their 'new' fans are paying a grand a year minimums at Chelsea or arsenal after waiting on a list for 5 years...? I don't think so.... Now if local rivals Millwall & charlton were in top flight there would be half an argument....last time we were topping this div in a threadbare ground out minimum for the season was 18k....14k exc Derby on a sat while on top is pathetic

palace should be filling there shithole as they are top of the league but there not oh well who cares

Am I alone in thinking that I really don't care!

 

[Daffy Duck]

Because they're all on NSC spouting rubbish and don't get time to go to their games.

Unfortunately you don't get extra points for getting big crowds, so we'll just have to plough on with our "pathetic" attendances.
In saying that, they are creeping up slowly, obviously not to your magnificent level, but I'm confident that if we continue as we are, they will nudge past 20,000 soon.
Up the Palace !

Have you still got the well supported clubs other than Brighton to visit you and bump the crowd up.

To use the car park for Sainsbury shopping is the best reason.
