Palace's soul? Druma, goal music, Ultras, Eagle's flying, Groupon ect.

I am sure that palace were not always this tin pot. It must be a nightmare for proper Palace fans, what has happened up there, they are just cringeworthy. 10,000 against Bristol and Groupon deals when in the Championship, the Palace fans just seem to be in a mess

No doubt you will get slated for starting a Palace thread. But you do have a point. What I like about Crystal Palace, is that they've been a relative underdog, unfashionable, but a proper football club (barring the unmentionables). Sadly they're loosing the latter part and becoming a joke. They may as well play ice hockey.

I know, we used to have a rivalry with a football club, but now its with a load load happy clappy cheer leader types who would stamp their feet when the goal music is turned on and shout whooa whooa instead of football songs. I can't stand Palace but even I find this an embarrassment too far even for them. The modern palace might as well be be an ice hockey club as you say.

Never trust a club that changes the historic colour of it's kit.
At least we recovered from the "Argentina" debacle

I think the Eagle flying around is good for a team who's nickname is "the eagles" don't see the problem there ?

You obviously never got the "seat" it had shat all over.

Shame it doesn't get a direct hit on a few fans! :smile:

Which was a made-up nickname that someone came up with out of nowhere in 1974. Before that they'd been the Glaziers, playing in claret and blue (although they still changed the design almost every season).

Sorry for not towing the line here, it's not like it all happened at once.

I imagine the Eagle to be pretty cool - We do point and chant at Seagulls, when about!!
Ultras - Some noise is better than none.
Groupon - Some fans are better than none.
Bloke turns up with a drum one week - meh that's pretty pony.
Goal music - go f*** yourself

Imagine if all of the title appeared at the Amex for Barnsley, I'm sure many of us would keel over.
Fingers crossed the drummer wouldn't be a S/T holder!!
But goal music is the only one I'd be properly sickened by, that's just wrong.

Equally,what right do they have using such a graceful creature for cheap entertainment? It should be flying free hunting wild Haggis or some such stuff in Scotland.

I think a drum is worse than goal music, because to be fair to palace fans, the goal music and the flying eagle is something the club have imposed on them I doubt even palace fans like goal music. But drums and ultra's well that is their own doing!

You have seen the remote control seagull that flies in front of the West Stand, flies over the stadium and lands on the East Stand roof.

With £120m in the bank, do you honestly think they give a shit?

loz · Nov 16, 2013

The thing that gets me with the moaning about ultras, goal music is that on here a lot of you praise the German clubs and they do all of that, in fact so do most Spanish teams as well. And a lot of it is fan driven...unlike clackers left on seats with the lyrics of your own song on them!!

sparkie · Nov 16, 2013

Palace are of course gloriously tinpot for all the reasons mentioned, but deserve a bit of credit at least for hosting their own annual beer festival at the ground.

I would hope so because its not the fans money and football is ot about what division you play in. Its a day out with friends and relatives. Plastic nonsense that comes from America should be left in America. I expect loads of palace fans just cringe with how it is down there. OK the 15,000 extra fans they have found overnight when they play Arsenal might not care but I'm talking about their true 1support of 10,000 who turned up against Britol City last season

Fair point well made.

As a Palace fan I would agree with this. I have absolutely no familarity with the current "quartered" effect it ruins what was our traditional red'nblue (which started off as a copy of Villa's claret and blue).

EDS · Nov 16, 2013

Goal music I agree with, but you could only dream of having the atmosphere that we have.
Anyway I am off to read the other thread to see which NSC users are "pro dick or anti dick" :lol:

it maybe a stereotype and who gives a monkeys anyway but that line really did make me laugh

Without taking the piss, what do you make of it all? Surely you can sort out the goal music and well is nobody tapping that lad with the drum on the shoulder and telling where to stick his drum stick?!

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Palace's soul? Druma, goal music, Ultras, Eagle's flying, Groupon ect.
