Today, we had the highest attendance in the country, more than all the Premiership games!

Attendance is vanity..... turnover (or more so profit) is sanity.........

Whenever they do a Groupon/ticket offer deal they always play s**t. All the JCLs who turned up for a quid today will be back on their sofas watching Chelsea or Arsenal next weekend.

Doesn't mean anything when our fans don't sing

Why not? People contribute to the club's coffers whether they sing or not.

Thought it was very loud at times (I was In west upper and have recently had my ears syringed!). But in a nervy game where we played so poorly it was never gonna be great.
Reckon a load of people must have missed the equaliser! Haha!
Also what is with this "stand up if you hate palace" rubbish when we are 1 down with less than 10mins to play. Support the team and don't even mention bloody palace!

Whether you enjoy yourself because fellow fans sing is not necessarily correlated to whether the team wins or not. You are confusing the two.

Fans are there to support, not to just make money for the club.

They say it because it helps to sell tickets as it makes fans feel more involved / part of the club. The '12th man' myth is romantic marketing, up there with the mythologising of how the Kop would somehow 'suck' the ball into the opposition goal.

Just being there is supporting the club. Over the course of a season, it is much more supportive in fact than a season of a song such as 'Stand Up If You Hate Palace.' It might be deemed 'supportive' because it's noisy, but there is nothing in the song that's particularly supportive of the club.

I enjoy myself based on the quality of the football on display, not on the volume of the fans.

I prefer a rocking atmosphere but that is just silly.

You are sounding like one of them deluded Palace fans after the Watford away game. It has not worked too well for them since though. What comes first, the team exciting the crowd to make noise, or the crowd raising the team to score goals.
My money is on the first option.

If fans had such a big part to play in that final, Liverpool would have won 5-0. No, Liverpool came back because Milan had a rocky spell, a blip in the second half, (which Liverpool took advantage of) from which the Italians recovered from and went back to dominating the game, irrespective of the loudness of the Reds fans.

Can't agree with that !
I would prefer a 28,000 crowd with 10,000 going mental and that has nothing to do with Albion (or indeed any other club) being a more or less admirable football club, sorry !
