Crystal Palace FC

[Chicken Runner61]

Its going to take a lot longer than 24 hours for them to get their carers to write a letter for them.

Even then they have to sign it and that could take another week.



Then theres the cost of the stamp to find

Laughable attempt. They should have been lobbying the bank and their mps weeks ago. The ideal scenario for me is that they scrape through to the new season, dont get a cva and get the -17 point penalty, but manage to just about get on an even keel to survive. Is that even a possibility a this stage?

If they go bust how long till they could realisticly get back into the football league? 6 years?

Depends on what League they are put in. Likely a county league side. Anyway, that wont happen.

 

[Icy Gull]

Dickhead. Do you not realise that this will be it, the end of the club, oblivion?

Like we've never been down the same road and faced the same threats??

Would you settle for playing your home games 70 odd miles from Selhurst just to survive? Don't worry you won't get it THAT bad, but I am looking forward to some schaudenfreude.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I don't think we have been down the same road. The Palace predicament is that not only do they have to find a Dick Knight to save the football club, their Dick Knight has to find the equivalent of enough money to out-bid Chartwell's subsequent bid for the Goldstone site.

All because of conditions laid down by the bankers.

No they just need to find a Dick Knight with a bit more money and another League club to let them play their home games. If they manage to keep Selhurst as well, they will be far far better off than we have been for 10+ years.

Aren't there loads of spivvy Sarf Londoners who've made dodgy fortunes who could help out, they've had a couple already haven't they?

In that second video I couldn't help thinking of Life of Brian when the voice from the back yelled "How do we do it"?

On a more serious note-how many turned up today?

 

[Buzzer]

All because of conditions laid down by the bankers.

A football club should not be immune from basic business and contract law. They shouldn't be allowed to spend other people's money with impunity, pay nuppence in the pound and then start all over again (Leeds? Southampton?)

The blame for this doesn't lie at the door of the bankers. In a nutshell, the Palace Board have brought this on themselves.

Well done Agent Jordan...or can we call you Agent Orange? (Did you see what I did there? That's quite clever. Think I'll use that again sometime.)

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Why was the spokesperson suggesting they need to write to Lloyds, when the news is reporting that the ground was owned by Bank of Scotland??

Video footage of the demo today (I kid you not).

Piss up. Brewery.


And here's another with someone with a megaphone. I can't really tell but is it a woman? A man? An 8 year old boy?

[yt]YhY9hZKphD8[/yt]

All too little, too late. Goodbye Selhurst, Hello Priestfield Gypsy Camp.

Why us there always a short grey haired lesbian with a megaphone at these rallys?

I love the calls of "but who's going to fund the club if CPFC 2010 pull out?"

Answer: "Write to LLoyds...LLoyds who we own...and insist that they accept the offer"...f*** me love...the letter wont get there until after the deadline...stupid bint.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

No they just need to find a Dick Knight and another League club to let them play their home games. If they manage to keep Selhurst as well, they will be far far better off than we have been for 10+ years.

But the condition is that they guarantee - by tomorrow afternoon - that they can find the funds to buy Selhurst.

The problem is that the guarantee required can ONLY be achieved if they devise a business plan that will only work if Selhust is priced at its development value.

Not very many is it? Not being unkind or taking the piss but 150 people is pretty poor.

Really poor. All the rallying cries on the BBS for people to turn up did little it seems.

A club going bust is something i've heard dozens of times but never actually happens unless its a very small club.I couldn't really give a shite i palace fold although a tiny tiny part of me would miss the rivalry

They won't go bust FACT

Lloyds own the Bank Of Scotland.

Exactamundo. Chillax peoples.

 

[South Coast Eagle]

Not to throw a hissy fit but this is a f***ing dire situation for us, our club, our history & our local community.

I understand a bit of rivalry, I'm old enough to recognise Brighton as our rivals, not f***ing Charlton & the fact that some of you are exstatic about what's happening to us, the fans, rather than Simon Jordan getting fisted with an asbestos glove is shameful & I really hope that you do not go through this.

This.

I'm finding this all quite funny watching them suffer to be honest. They won't go under.
As for those demonstrations
