PLEASE can we stop using this annoying and very childish phrase " Plastics "

Whether it is us to CPFC or vice versa to us.

If CPFC get 26000 fans that is 10000 more who have paid their hard earned cash to support a team and watch football. The fact we get 30000 now which is 23000 more than Withdean , these people likewise are not " Plastics " they do not get in for free, they pay the thick end of £ 600 a season plus hundreds on merchandise and catering , so well over £ 1000 per person a season. How is this " Plastic ? Likewise with CPFC.

You do not need to have " I was at Gillingham tattoed on your Genitals to gain entry to the Amex and CPFC fans do not need " I have lived in Croydon since 1970 to enter Selhurst Park either.

Please STOP NOW. Thanks.

Regards US.

I like being lectured it makes me feel worthy of life and gives me the direction I need.

Good.

Agree with you but it'll never stop, some fans have the urge to prove that the club means more to them than others ingrained in their psyche.

As to why, your guess is as good as mine.

I agree. And while we're at it, could we also drop 'tinpot' and 'cringeworthy' as well?

And apart from anything else, a 'plastic' is someone who watches Man Utd from their armchair, who's never even been to Manchester, rather than someone who pays to go and watch Palace / Brighton more often because they have started doing well.

That's not plastic. Plastic just picking a team near the top, and supporting them from your armchair, despite having no real connection with them.

You've just agreed with US, that we shouldn't use the phrase 'Plastics' anymore, but then you've gone on to use it and explain what it means (although I agree with your definition). We should use it, we should just use it correctly.

So you agree then ?

Palace have been joking about thousands of "Plastics" at The Amex who primarily support a "big 4 club" because it suited their agenda even though it wasn't true , now they will say all the new fans at Smellhurst have always been lurking in the background.

Who cares ? I find the whole Plastics thing absurd beyond belief.

Randsta · May 28, 2013

I love calling my palace colleague a plastic lol it's his office nickname now.

Uncle Spielberg · May 28, 2013

Where has this pathetic term come from ? I am sure it has only been around for a couple of years.

ENOUGH with the fu cking Palace threads! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!

No. We should use the term correctly. If Palace get larger crowds next season, they're more fair weather fans than plastics.

It is a generic thread.

The same as every other club in the Country then.
