Congratulations to Crystal Palace

[Spinder]

I never said Freedman is shit, he has done very well to keep you up. However unless CPFC2010 loosen some purse strings things will be no better than this season. A lot of your fans have been saying that there is cash for strengthening, Freedman could have done with some in the transfer window. Nobody is blaming you for celebrating survival, God knows we have in the not to distant past however it shows the difference between BHAFC and CPFC, one team is on the up and the other is not. I could be wrong but frankly do you honestly see much of a future ? We have now got a decent stadium, we have a reasonable season next and then no doubt there will be the same demand for season tickets. Tony Bloom would be happy to expand the Amex to bring it up to 30,000. We have had those sort of crowds in the distant past and given that whilst some BHA fans get misty eyed about the Goldstone it was not a patch on Falmer. As for you, well things might improve if CPFC2010 follow through and move into the Athletics stadium (something I have been saying for a long time now) however even so that will need a fairly expansive and thus expensive refit, how good is your credit these days ?

Still in three years you might get to dominate League Two. It's great now that we know that we can look down our noses at Palace and make justifiably derogatory remarks, boot is on the other foot now, get used to it.

Freedman did get funds in January:
-150k Easter
-400k Moxey
-Agustein Loan
-KG Loan
-James Vaughan Loan Renewed

New Ground
Obviously escaped your notice that we have planned to build a new ground that is expandable to 40,000 if needed (clearly we're not deluded enough to think we will need those seats now). We now own our ground for the first time in 20 odd years. The fact we didn't own it is the main reason we have been into admin twice, paying £1.2million per annum in rent. Enough to cripple many clubs. Also, not the fans' fault if the club has been run by two people that have turned out to have as much business sense as a toddler.

Crowds have dwindled in the last 5 years, due to poor football and very poor facilities. Crowds are slowly growing again this season. Under a manager that is one of our own, we have every right to be excited. Youngsters have looked promising (Sekajja scored the goal that (sort of) kept us up with his first ever touch in professional football) and yes we do have money. Not much but certainly competitive with other established Championship clubs such as Swansea, Watford and Reading.

Looking down your noses

Really? I don't think Palace fans turn their nose up at Brighton... Indeed, many fans including myself, have a grudging respect for what you've achieved considering the shit you've been through. But we've been through the mill as well, especially as fans. Administration was not used as a cheat method, we were put in it rather than putting ourselves in it, and the main person who lost all his money was Simon Jordan who most of the debt was actually owed to (around 70% I believe).

The notion you're suddenly a bigger club than us because you have a shiny new stadium (which is incidentally still smaller than Selhurst) is laughable. You've been League One/Two fodder for donkeys years. We've not been outside the top two tiers for something like 35. That's a lot longer a period than the two administrations, so don't give it the whole cheat argument. It's true, you have a bright future, but in 5 years' time chances are we'll be in a new stadium and one of the top academies in the country. Reason to be just a little excited, no?

f*** me ? How many eggs did he BUY ?

 

[Joey Deacon's Disco Suit]

f*** me you've spurted the "Dougie is a shit manager " line more then any one else FFS! I'll get you a quote! edit;
stand corrected BHA, it's that Joey Deacon , but he's gone quiet lately!

Gone quiet lately? I told you your manager was shit only last week. It's all relative though, I suppose. When you support a really shit side who don't pay their bills and employ alcoholics then a shit manager must seem like the messiah returned.

Got to laugh at a Palace fan giving a Brighton fan grief on a BHA forum for not posting often.

 

[churley1]

The only reason BHAFC haven't been in admin recently is because other teams helped you in times of need.

I remember the buckets outside Selhurst. You were once a charity case as well, don't forget that.

 

[Joey Deacon's Disco Suit]

Oh priceless. And no doubt Palace wouldn't be in admin if you were a bit more loveable.

f*** sake, of all the pathetic excuses for going into admin that is the weakest. You went into admin TWICE because your owners didn't pay their bills whereas we did pay ours. No other club bailed us out. No-one gave us extended credit terms.

*Shit for brains Palace fans talking shit shocker*

 

[Spinder]

f*** me ?

Thought you Brighton fans were a little more subtle than that

OK so I didn't give a few quid to the bucket beggars outside Selhurst when we stuffed you 5-0...don't be so proud ffs.

We f***ed up with admin the first time but Agilo the second time got itchy feet and I know first hand they regretted their actions. Putting us in admin was a foolish decision.

Fancy a cup of coffee?

Nah you're alright

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Washing your hair then.

 

[El Presidente]

The way Dougie handled the 'Murray to Palace' story was very dignified, fair play to the bloke he seems a good 'un.

 

[crasher]

still quite an achievement though dont you think from so called "shit" Dougie Friedman in his first season, succeeded where mangers with far more pedigree have failed namely Adams/Knill and Perma tan Brown? f*** me we've suffered a points deduction last season and stayed up, had an alcoholic manager for the start of this season and stayed up, what do you think we want at CPFC? world domination in 3 years FFS!

No I don't think it's much of an achievement. The points tally (Sheff Utd 3rd bottom on 42) shows how poor the standard at the bottom has been this year. It used to be the case that 50-52 points was what you needed to stay up in the Championship. This season it's quite possible that 43 would be enough. So congratulations on being slightly less crap than three really crap teams.

Cannot forget when Jordan took over you lot were saying you're the bees knees,fat lot of good he did you,you just escaped relegation last season...you're consistant ....you have just done the same this year...prepare next season to go down!!

Fancy a quickie?

Obviously my remarks only apply to the Championship.

 

[Chamberpot]

This season I actually wanted palace to do ok...

 

[HoveHorace]

This season I actually wanted palace to do ok...

By their standards they did.

 

[churley1]

Considering we had the spine of our team ripped out in the first half of this year, I expected nothing less than a relegation battle. How anyone could expect a promotion push with a completely new team, manager and chairman was beyond me.

Next season is different, I'm not expecting promotion but the doog is building something and our academy is only producing more gems.

I remember the buckets outside Selhurst. You were once a charity case as well, don't forget that.

Yes and I was one of the many people who gave money to pay off ST John's Ambulance. I remember the begging on here not so long ago. Oh, unlike your shower we have NEVER been in administration, no ever. We get the same old excuses, don't we ? Those buckets you refer to were actually people trying to get support for Falmer, the only buckets you'll see at Selhurst are the ones they need to clear the mountains of bullshit that Palace fans excrete on a regular basis (and boy are they regular).
