They were pissing themselves laughing when our Blackburn game was called off last season at short notice and that was for a piss poor reason unlike their's (Blackburn had a mildly waterlogged pitch and it was reported that ground staff had the sprinklers on as Blackburn wanted to avoid playing us).

If there was a risk of supporters being injured or even killed by flying debris then the game needs to be off - one of the benefits of having a stadium in an out of town area, though travel would of course be screwed.

Spot on and I have not seen an apology from COYP after you have proved him so wrong.

I call bullshit. You're the same as that Ravids chap. Palace fan masquerading as Brighton fan. A few innocuous posts here and there to keep up pretences but won't hear a bad word about Palace.

Oh...and it is better than just that. As a palace fan it is obviously fine and OK for him to tell our moderators to "piss off"....with impunity.

Do I want to contribute to the wages of say, Ryan Harley (or others), who clearly couldn't be bothered. It's not even about effort. You could argue that footballers create an economy and money is spent all over the place as a result, but do I feel comfortable contributing and giving Average Joe Striker a charmed existence because he can kick a ball around for 90 minutes every week?

I know there are lots of arguments entailed in that. Tennis players, film stars, bankers and so on, but it feels as though the mediocre are being rewarded. Why does YaYa (the real one, not Ince) need £300k a week after tax? What good reason does he need that?


Piss off then. Some supporter you are!!!

Palace's request to put back the game 30 minutes to allow fans caught in traffic to get there , was turned down by EFC.
Twenty minutes later, it was called off.
The forecast was for hurricane conditions from early afternoon, as usual no consideration for the fans.

This should be the thread for Palace fans to use on NSC. The title speaks volumes.

1) That would be because Palace were only bringing 1,200 fans when most Everton fans were able to get there. It would only have been delayed if a significant number of home fans were having difficulties, much like how both our clubs have already delayed KOs this season due to travel issues.
2) That was because parts of surrounding buildings started to collapse on the road which most of the fans would have been using, had it been left open - then people could have been injured or killed.
3) No consideration for fans ? The reason why the game was called off was for the safety of the fans, unless you want to walk down a street with buildings partially collapsing and tiles being ripped off roofs. Also it was forecasted, but since the police and safety officers can hardly predict when incidents would occur, the game was left on. The game was playable after all.

At least you had a genuine reason for postponement, for all we know it may well have prevented serious injuries - and had someone been injured or killed, you would have been screaming blue murder asking why it wasnt called off.

With Palace in Merseyside, Liverpool in London,and Spurs in Newcastle, you would think common sense would prevail when sorting out midweek fixtures at the beginning of the season.
We have Newcastle and Sunderland away on consecutive Saturdays coming up too.

I've got no problem with the game being called off, safety is paramount, it was the timing of it.

We have had a couple of periods of a few consecutive away games then a few consecutive home games in a row - not to mention Burnley and Sheffield Weds :)lolol:) on Tuesday nights and Middlesbrough away right before Xmas.

The fixture sorting people have no common sense, that much is already clear !!

Oh really? You are a bit paranoid like your mate fosters headband! Why the hell would I want to come on here and pretend to be a Brighton fan? I was worried last night as my brother was on his way back and was saying the motorways were really dangerous last thing I want to see is someone laughing about it! You carry on believing what you want thats up to you some people have a life though!
