When did Palace worry about paying the bills, they have been insolvent at least twice recently. This is probably why the fans that palace do have are not that worried that there is not many of them.
Palace? This is the same Palace that get 15000 paying punters less than Brighton every week despite being higher in the league and the same club that fail to take 3000 to a game 25 miles up the road? This is the same Palace who have never won a major trophy unlike Brighton who have been...
Distance is a major factor and place taking less than 3000 for a game 25 miles away is shit. We took over 3000 to Chesterfield for a normal league game in the 4th division (league 2). Should our away support be bigger, not with the distance and difficult journey that Brighton fans have for every...
I live in Town mate, left Sussex years ago, and so I wont be a part of the biggest gate in the division. Normally a few away games and and a few home games a season these days. You really hate it when we let facts explode the palace delusion of a great support. Its just true that we had a bigger...
And 3000 to Notts County and 800 plus at Rochdale on a Wednesday night when public transport couldn't get you back to Sussex! That for me was better than the 3000 plus at Chesterfield.
The first 3 to 4 seasons at Withdean was a sell out. The last 3/4 seasons was often a sell out but for away fans like palace who failed to sell out the away end (oh yes, that was not your finest hour). The reason why people didnt fancy another season iplaying Hartlepool on a Tuesday night in the...
We were top, they were second or the other way around. It was a Saturday in the first half of the season so before Christmas I think, as such it was just two lower league sides playing each other who had started the season well. Chesterfield is a bloody long way to go from Brighton, Watford is...
No mate, I was there at Chesterfield for a lower league match with 3000 odd other Brighton fans. Charlie Oatway got booked for biting someone and then sent off for a body check and so as usual our players let us down again (although t be fair I cant recall the score), but the support was there...
Its 25 miles from Croydon to Watford. We don't have one away game a mere 25 miles away. You also are pushing automatic promotion, we are mid table. Palace away support is and always has been poor. W took more to the likes of Chesterfield in the lower leagues than you take to games 25 miles away.
Its a losing battle mate, palace fans on NSC just dont know enough about football as their proud boast of Auto Zenith Windscreen Cup or whatever it was before it was scrapped due to lack of interest shows
I would hope so as well given you are pushing for automatic promotion not mid table, you also have recent history with Shef W. As for travel time you have every season between 7 to 14 games within 1 .5 hours travel. We have, well, 1 maybe 2 and despite this you take less than us to away games...
And wasn't there a Sheff Wed fan on here the other day mocking your pathetic numbers up there and library like noise? I think the gentlemen in question said that the mighty Wycombe Wanderers had better support than you?? :lolol:
Shef Weds fans dont like it that the MASSIVE Shef W get between...
True, but to know that you would have to know something about football, but this seems to rule out most palace fans who come on NSC. Only they could even mention the Auto Windscreen, ZDS abandoned Cup that nobody plays anymore due to lack of interest!
When the league was split between Southern and football league Brighton as Southern League Champions beat the football league champions to win the Charity Shield and be Champions of England. Our only major trophy. Also got to the FA Cup final before you eventually managed to follow us there. We...
So take your bitterness and your jealousy and your MASSIVE insecurity with our rivalry and deal with it. We will be in the play-offs and you wont, and that is a fact.
Mate its very hard to be jealous of a club without a major trophy win, who followed us to a cup final a few years after us...
