Unless I’m mistaken this is about fans not snapping up exchange tickets.

Paying £700 to main a post nominal “STH” and the legal right to present yourself as such at the annual fans forum is value for money Id argue!

Yes so it’s even more ironic to suggest that non ST holders aren’t interested in this game. - however justified (cost, midweek, little riding on it) - It sold out !
Really?
The best atmosphere ever at the Amex was when we tonked them last season . . . I can't wait for tomorrow and hope there's an atmosphere with similar venom. . .they are a club of criminally funded over entitled mercenary wankstains of over 20 years. To think I liked them ( to watch the football) mid 90's with VIalli, ZOla and Gullit, they were a class act.
Far more of a threat to us in recent years than Palace have ever been, they are/were direct rivals for league position and euro spots, and tore us apart . . . Or tried . . . I have more respect for Palace than I ever will for Chelsea.
Quite
That is quite clearly the club being a bunch of cun*s. Same issue with transfering seats and loyalty points.
they do so much so well but maintaining faith in loyalty isn't one of them IMHO
My near 50 year loyalty is running thin !!!
All of which kind of confirms the sliding scale of it all . . . . I agree, we graft, we save ( if we can) and or accumulate whatever . . . .hopefully survive long anough to relax and enjoy.
I suppose my point is 'free to those who can afford it, very expensive to those who can't' . . . . The state pension should slide and be means tested IMO . . . Ease in at 60 say ( I'm making this up as I go along) and also be capped by other income. . . You have £100k+ from elsewhere, you don't need it . . . Do you? It would also, possibly encourage people to work on, maybe 2-3 days a week, ( I wish I could). as mentors to trainees and ensure succession within companies.

The atmosphere was there because Potter was there last season. The rest of the games against Chelsea have been nothing significant.
Yes, yes it is, it's my speciality!
The bigger issue is too many are now not reaching pensionable age . . . After the last 15 years we're working harder, longer, for less, dying younger and having to retire later if we actually make it that far.
That's progress for you.
I don't begrudge anyone of you what you've worked hard for in retirement, you didn't make the rules up, but the world has changed a lot since the 60's and none of it stacks up fairly, if at all any more. I just find it sad that so few have way way too much and so many have not enough, in a nation which generates more than enough for all.

Well who else is going to buy the tickets? The original MBM tickets are cheaper than exchange tickets.
Firsrtly . . .I wasn't making reference to any of the other games against them . . .most of what I saw previously was slack jawed yokels admiring Chelsea school us!
rivalries have to start somewhere.
the vast majority of match goers never saw us play Palace until this century. Decade even.
How many went to the GOldstone in '74? ( I was 2, so no I didn't)
pompey . . .yes no? Nothing really, they're just pompey (scum)
we had a better rivalry with Leyton Orient in the 90's!
Praise the lord for pestilence and disease!
It's a heck of a height.
£1 a step?

Surely a rivalry has to work two ways, I live in West London and they really don’t give a shit about us. The Chelsea I know can’t quite work out Teds obsession with us and that’s about it.

Yup those Chelsea podcasts can’t be reflective of real fans, the podcasts exist to manufacture a bit of lame overhyped guff and controversy to get clicks. How many clubs have Chelsea overpaid, that useless Ukrainian, Fernandez wasn’t worth the money and that Southampton youngster has virtually ceased to exist, Chelsea loom way larger in our eyes then we do in theirs. I hope we move on quickly and start hating Chelsea for the good old fashioned proper reasons (that their fans are knobby Millwall lookalike fash bellends)

Good post. Made me think back over the years. I always remember Portsmouth being a massive rivalry. Southend Utd another one back in the 70s

Surely if they are tickets in EU they'd be 60€
