The difference with this one is that the stakes have never been higher. I doubt there is a Palace v Albion game in history that has had as much riding on it as this one would. If it happens, it'll be hyped up like no other game before, and the atmosphere is bound to be volatile.
We could just...
Cheers Buzzer. Not quite sure what your seemingly recurring problem is with me, or why you feel moved to include insults in the debate, but I'll respond anyway.
For me, standbyeme was taking things to the other end of the scale of extremes when saying what police could demand ID for (shopping...
You see this is what always happens with this kind of thing. In order to prove a point, you expand the issue to extremes and treat it as though its exactly the same thing.
Would I expect to be asked for ID to go in a shop, park my car, stare at a tree, take a shit ? No, I would not.
And under...
STH's are always at the head of the queue for away tickets anyway, due to the loyalty scheme. Nothings changed here in that respect.
When there's only a couple of thousand tickets up for grabs for such a maHOOsive game, non-STH's are always going to struggle.
From that blog:
"no amount of safety is worth having ones individual rights stripped away from them in such an appalling and disgusting way.
Jesus H Corbett, are we not getting a little bit PRECIOUS over this ? What individual rights are being "stripped away" by having (if asked) proof that...
Unfortunately its just a fact of life that extra arrangements have to be made to cater for the braindead and those slightly "challenged" individuals, so that the fully-functioning human beings can attend a football match in relative safety without getting caught up in all their shit.
Doesn't...
Yes there are other derby games that don't have these additional security measures imposed, and no we haven't had these added restrictions imposed before, but if it Palace in the Playoffs then the stakes are going to be absolutely HUGE, and emotions on both sides are going to be running to the...
Why ? If it impedes some of the BELLENDS going up there with the express intention of behaving like complete twunts then I don't see an issue.
I always have my driving licence in my wallet anyway, so it won't make a blind bit of difference to me if plod asks me to produce some ID. Can't see...
Well I gave the league match a swerve this season (thank christ), but I was DEFINITELY going to go there for the Playoff game, and I reckon there'll be a far larger number who will view this tie as pretty much unmissable. I have no idea how many will have 1,250+, but if they've accumulated that...
Am I missing something ? The link I'm looking at Play-Off Semi-Final: Away Leg says you need 1,260 loyalty points, not 1,150.
As I'm a bad fan I only have 1,230 and will have to wait. Probably the pub then.
