palace away

[Mackenzie]

Are Palace doing any tickets for a £10er type things before our match with them, could be worth doing to get on their data base (if they have such a thing).

 

[Eggman]

More fool you then for paying so much, totally over priced.

Ha ha ha. HOW do you know it is?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

And my reply to you was 2,500 tickets which I still believe is the intention by the owners, obviously there was calls from Palace fans to only allocate the same number as Palace fans were understandably allocated at the Amex, the owners made it quite clear that they will obviously want to sell as many tickets for the match as possible and therefore would only limit the tickets to 2,500 if the remaining tickets in the AW Stand were taken up by Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea fans, if that wasn't to happen I believe the maximum would be 4,500 but if I were you I'd work on the assumption of the lower figure and hope that an additional 500 or so are released after the initial allocation.

Business as usual for Palace home matches I see!

We can afford it. Was looking at Swansea's bowl stadium on MOTD the other evening, which cost a quarter of the Amex build price and, as nice as it is in many ways, it has a lot of exposed concrete. Maybe that's what we paid the extra 75 million for - less exposed concrete.

Every club has plastic fans. But how do you know whether we have thousands or hundreds? You just don't unless you've asked every single fan that turns at at the Amex.

I've read enough comments on here, as well as speaking to Brighton fans I know, to understand that many of your jcl's are supporting you as a second club to their prem first team.

If I could find that picture of the kid in a BHA kit & a Liverpool backpack I'd post it as an example

Nah, don't worry too much about that one. Try the kiddy in the Man Utd clobber on Catona's left, but of course he's a complete one-off isn't he? Probably the only plastic fan ever seen at Selhurst...ever!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

In fact scrap that, the kiddie just above Matthew Simmonds is wearing a Man Utd shirt as well!

Ticket or no ticket, i'll be going.

Me too!

That means that they all must being plastics according to our resident palace fans logic!!

 

[Commander]

Plastic and JCL. If your a real fan, you will support you club through thick and thin. What annoys me is you lot think your a bigger club as you have more fans when in reality is cause you have a new stadium and a promotion to a big league. It will drop soon, especially as the results are going downhill and the novelty of the stadium/league wears off.

So you'd be basically the same as us then?

The thing is, neither Palace nor Brighton have 25,000 die hard fans. In fact, there's only about 10 clubs in the country that do. But so what? Some people have other things in their lives than just football. I go to more games now since we got the Amex than I did for the last few years at Withdean, but less games than I used to at the Goldstone and in the early Withdean years. Does that make me a plastic? No it doesn't. You are always going to get some fans that are more devoted than others, if you didn't it would all be a bit pointless- would you rather see Palace in the Premier League playing in front of 12,000 die-hard fans, or would you rather it was a sellout?

I'd much rather the seats were filled personally, even if that does involve a few hangers-on and people who will dissappear if we start doing badly. It's just the way it works.

 

[RickofBHAFC]

Anybody remember how many we took for the game in October 2002? I seem to remember that was a Saturday 3.00pm Kick off.
I reckon a Tuesday game will reduce the interest in the game, due to people's work commitments. Would be nice to take at least 4,000 so we can out-sing the Pikeys in their Slum...!!

It's Palace mate . . . last time we played them on a Tuesday night we had 5000+ there. If it was played at 2am in the morning we would have 5000+ there. Palace away if you're a proper Brighton fan you don't miss it!

Did we? I thought it was a lot less than that.

I know it's been a long time since you were in the top division, but we were playing Man Utd. They're not plastic Palace fans, they're away fans who couldn't get a ticket in their area.

 

[RickofBHAFC]

Another idiot.

Don't like it when someone states a fact do you? You just come back with abuse!

 

[Aquilaugh]

Palace away if you're a proper Brighton fan you don't miss it!

And you don't leave early when Brighton are at home to Palace, oh hold on .............

 

[Aquilaugh]

It was

 

[RickofBHAFC]

It was

Yeah sorry i am confused - we just made a noise like there were 5000+ of us, for the whole game . . .

 

[minnieme]

Why is the kick off for this match 8pm? & not 19.45 as normal. is it so all the coaches have time to arrive from manchester.

I suggest you might have had too much drink and were seeing double. The last time we played Palace away was on a Tuesday night (and what a night!) and we had around 2500 as that is all we were allocated. Even in 2002 when we had the whole arthur wait I would suggest there were a shade under 5000.

What's to say that kid wasn't a Liverpool fan being slowly turned to a Brighton fan? Why is he immediately used an example of "plastic" without knowing anything about him? Come Christmas he will no doubt have a Brighton backpack to replace the Liverpool one
