There are loads of Chelsea shirts everywhere

 

[Parson Henry]

No just in Croydon, shirt spotting fella!

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

And you see a fair few Palace shirts in Sussex so is there a connection there as well?

Sad man!

 

[Parson Henry]

Sad man!

I hear Palace have taken Worthing!!

 

[Braders]

WOOF WOOF!! Don`t think so but I clould be wrong. I do remember the Palace Stewards sponsoring the team one week.

did they have to run out in orange jackets?

Yes i have heard this rumour, went down there a few weeks back with the nippers and saw a few Palace shirts about, but i also saw a lot of the usual suspects shirts as well. Chelsea, Arsenal. ManUre etc

Talking of Chelsea shirts have you seen that horrible luminous green away shirt they have broght out for next season? Bloody vile

 

[5 past Kuipers]

51,801 - 4,005 = 47,796, or 92% of the original figure.
55,603 - 7,134 = 48,469 BUT CRUCIALLY only 87% of the original figure reverting to their armchairs.

Good old pro rata to back you up eh? You said 'as diverse'. Percentages weren't mentioned.

Manchester City have similar stats from the mid-sixties. A low gate of 8k vs Swindon.

Strange that locals going down to the seaside in the town where they live in comfortable summer apparel as opposed to trippers wanting to wear a footie shirt a la Benidorm of Magaluf...

Did you have your shirt on SJ?

 

[Easy 10]

Nope look it up Stat boy, they definitely got a couple of 6,000 midweek gates in the early to mid 80\'s. One was against Wrexham if i remember rightly

Simsters point being that Palace;s cataclysmic collapse in support happened over the course of a mere six seasons. The example of Newcastle and Chelsea FICKLENESS happened over a longer period of time, and is therefore less startling / amusing *



* depending on who you support

So Brighton bring 2,800 to Palace on a Tuesday night but barely get double that for a home game normally? Is that not a type of FICKLENESS then?

Maybe, maybe not but more chnace that they were from out of town. If I remember my days living in the city by the sea no self respecting local would go naer the front on a nice summer's day. Plenty of nicer and quieter seafronts areas to go to.

Fair enough but every time i go to Worthing/Hastings etc its the same scenario
