How many going to Palace without a ticket?

[RickofBHAFC]

Intrigued to know how many are planning to travel without a ticket?

If there were enough ticketless fans wandering around i wonder if the police would force the club to accept them in for pay-on-gate for the sake of peace on the streets . . .

Its up to you of course but I can't see anyone getting in without a ticket and there's too many stewards and OB for open touting to be going on, besides what trouble would say 200 brighton fans cause when all of us are going to be in the stadium for 2 hours ?

on another note and nothing to do with our emblem, i hate your profile pic/ avatar/ whatever, thats just unpleasant...

Pains me but I agree with the Nigel. On all counts. I think the Croydon police are experienced in a bit of trouble of late!

I wouldn't wonder about that for too long if i was you, there'll be a few up there looking for spares but I remember us playing Wimbledon in front of about 20,000 empty spaces about 10 years ago and those without tickets never got in and this would have caused no issues

There would be plenty of room in the stadium to put fans if they had no tickets like they used to do with Chelsea in the 70s/80s when there was always 2/300 turn up and rather than have them wandering around the local pubs they made the clubs admit them. I think similar will happen Tuesday as they will not want 200 + Brighton fans
wandering around Croydon or Norwood pubs.

CPFC could have avoided this by allocating us more tickets.

Could say the same about some of the Palace avatars i have seen . . .

no offence intended and im sure you just done it for a laugh but i think its a bit unnecessary .

What you think all your troublemakers will be inside the ground?

The word naive springs to mind . . .

Naive ? well i don't know everything, but 35 years of going to Palace and I'm not aware of any neanderthal groups of so called fans circling the station looking for stray ticketless away fans, never know though, just because I haven't seen them.

Never going to happen. If you haven't got a ticket save yourself a load of hassle on a cold night and tune into BBC Sussex

Was at that match without a ticket, remember old bill keeping us all in the road outside the Arthur Waite stand until the final whistle . Easily over 200 without tickets that day. Ground was empty !

im going to try my luck and turn up

 

[BensGrandad]

The estimate doing the rounds is 3-400.

It makes sense to open an unused enclosed area and make it POTG to keep them all in together where they are easily managed and controlled. Especially if the game is not a sell out which by all accounts it isnt.

People are assuming that those going up without tickets actually want to watch the match.

Er no - you definitely wouldn't have seen them circling the station . . . admit it you've watched Green Street havn't you?
