That is a lovely stat, assuming it is true.Palace have only ever averaged over 20k four times in their history when in the second tier of English football.
That's pitiful really. Way behind Brighton of course.

We used to routinely have the upper hand on the pitch as well "back in the day".
Back to the original OP. I think he's right.
Saw this in the paper from the Holmesdale End. Would love to see us be as provocative as well.

Surely that is aimed at the Palace board. They receive the Premier League millions and choose how to spend it, be it on transfer fees, player wages, infrastructure investment or, as the black ninjas seem to want, on supporter initiatives.
Has Prince Charming responded at all?
Actually we were 14th - and had been playing the drabbest football ever under Dougie (this was midweek too) .
Our next home game (v Burnley) was 21k - Not bad for a labouring mid table team with no day trippers making up the numbers.
Groupon......kids for a quid.......free caravan waxing kit.

Actually there are two Palace fans there with half and half Liverpool scarves. Bless.ones a teenage girl - ones a grown man.
which is more cringe ?
A little more to say on the matter...
1 > I'm pretty sure this what we were restricted to.
2> Prentendence numbers don't really count now do they ?

All this guff from various Nigel gimps on here is a bit tiresome. Sure, we're not as big as WCP intimates, but we're nowhere near as plastic as you Nigel twats are. It's time to trot out my favourite Nigel support stat, that pretty much everybody should know.
Forget the handful of half-and-half scarfers or disenfranchised Chelsea fans who turn up to the Amex - this is the very definition of plastic right here:
1979 Division 2 (promoted): Palace v Burnley, attendance 51,482
1980 Division one
1981 Division one
1982 Division one (relegated)
1983 Division two
1984 Division two: Palace v Wimbledon, attendance: 4,005
Come back when we've lost 90% of the 30,000 who were turning up under Poyet FFS, you plastic dorks.
Makes me shudder.
I can understand half & half scarves if a non-league side draws a premiership club in the cup, or a "minnow" (Welsh / Irish) side gets Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern etc in a European game but a half & half with a club playing in the same league / division is truly pathetic and pitiful. Only at Palace; they've just got no class.
Sure.
The first few seasons there it was impossible to get a ticket, i tried and tried ,but just couldn't get one.
i noticed after the first couple of seasons that i could get a ticket then started going. But most people were under the assumption that they couldn't get a ticket, which is why people didmt bother trying. We have probably lost 10 years of new fans because of this, but still manage to get 28,000 to a relegation battle game against fullum

Unfortunately, at most PL games, you get these being sold outside.

Good point. You were never that well supported in the first place.A big drop, but not as big as you're suggesting .
