Hate the fact that so many people are coming on here pleased at what the Palace FANS are going through.
For fucks sake, we didn't exactly save the Goldstone did we? And if we didn't have Dick Knight we could very well have no club to support right now.
And further to that, if Tony Bloom hadn't shown his hand at a vital stage, Falmer would be growing cobwebs right now.
Yes, we were second to none when it came to organising demos and rallying thousands upon thousands of fans but we had a lot of luck on the way.
Right now all I want to say to the Palace fans is good luck, hope it works out for you. If it means groundsharing, do it. If it means starting again like Wimbledon, do it. I and many thousands of fellow Albion fans would have supported the Albion in the Conference South or below.

CPFC2010 are quite canny in saying that they will pull out if they cannot secure the purchase of the ground. It looks like the bank has called their bluff for trying to get it at a rock bottom price. If the consortium had the best interests of the club at heart owning the ground would be an obstacle that can be taken out of the equation. At the end of the day they could still seek a groundsharing arrangement in order for them to survive.

What's to stop them renting SP for a season or two while their consortium continues to negotiate with the bank during that period?

CPFC2010's number 1 priority must be to buy the club to safeguard its future and then worry about buying back SP.

I don't think there are many on here wanting them out of business, a majority of the posts are merely pointing out how utterly niave the scum have been in trying to keep their club alive.

The scenes at smelhurst today were laughable.

I dont understand the smugness of some on here about palace going under, as somebody already pointed out if it wasnt for Bloom or Knight it could of been Brighton.

Must confess that comment cracked me up

You palarse fans do need to lighten up as everything will pan out soon and you can relax again and spend money again.

These types of posts are about as boring as the "ooh, I know we're bitter rivals but I'd hate for them to go out of business" ones.

No-one's being smug and Palace won't go out of business.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I was merely saying that it's a bit rich to have a go at the palace attendances when brighton's a hardly anything to write about.

The whole withdean is shit stadium argument is a bit rich considering all i hear from fans of clubs is that we support our team through thick & thin (but we obviously won't support them on our doorstep because the stadium has no roof).

A bit of fair weather fan thinking in my eyes. The new ground will be full initially then novelty wears off and the crowds will settle to an average of 12,000 i reckon.

Ticket prices will still be very high & brighton will still be in league one so it's just the roof which is different.

Idiot

I have no great wish for Palace to be wound up but I also have no wish for that smug bastard David (Ex Kid) Jensen having anything to do with them and hope that he fails and somebody else or another consortium come in and buy them.

You are forgetting that most palarse fans we're loving it when we was in turmoil.

It's only a very small number-probably far less than the smug Palace numpties who have been on here regularly taking the piss out of our situation over the years. The majority of us don't want them going out of business but I for one hope they rattle around the shitty end of League 2 for a while and I make no apology for that.

Perhaps Mr Bloom may ask one of his gambling mates to buy CPFC,then you could use us as a feeder club when you are back in the big time.

 

[football fan]

A brand spanking new stadium is only great if it's full enough. Dick Knight mentioned that they needed 12,000 to break even in falmer & that was when the cost was a lot lower than it is now. 12,000 regular in league one is a lot to ask if brighton aren't pushing top 6 by christmas.

Call me an idiot all you like i'm just saying that 90% of clubs are financially tight, brighton included i'm afraid.

With the total value of your assets I could ask one of MY gambling mates to buy you and we only play penny stakes
