Totally on the fence regarding the HF, but while its currently now to slag them off, please remember at times our home support has been painfully bad.
they have created a lot of noise & presence, especially during their earlier days when people complaining about them were no doubt sitting on their hands moaning & doing F all.
They are a pain in the arse currently & I did find the 'display' vs Arsenal quite s***e & cringe, but dont forget previous positive stuff.
Up the Palace !

 


Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

I don't think anyone has forgot what happened, but, this is about people handing over their money to something that should've happened at the West Ham game on the 21st April. They then say they won't do it unless they get to put a banner up.

Perhaps if the HF stopped wearing the black " I'm in a gang" uniform & wore club colours like most then wouldn't need flags as would be quite colourful without them, like the Bayan Munich game the other night. A few flags at one end which didn't add much, but the fact that nearly everyone was in club colours made a big difference & was noticeable

Overall I am in favour of the HF in terms of what they bring to the match day experience / party-

however what does irk me is that whenever they feel that something is not going their way they seem to feel that the best course of action is to try to put a metaphorical gun to the clubs head to force the outcome that they want -

i.e - if you don't do this (move seats / reinstate banner)
we will / wont do this.

it dosent feel like a negotiation it feels like blackmail.

At least from the outside / what gets written - maybe I am wrong, for sure I am not in the room when these things are discussed - but thats how it feels.

Wow it’s been a few months since I came on to look at what’s going on. The last time I did it was all about our little friends dressed in black.

It’s very simply a case of”We told you so” It didn’t take a genius to work out that the move from B to was never going to improve the atmosphere.

When the move was very first muted, I said that the good sound generated was assisted by the low hanging Arthur roof which In turn helped the volume travel around the stadium.

By moving to Block E it simply dissipates into a concrete overhang then into the air.

I still stand in B and truthfully apart from the drum we rarely hear them sing.

Getting back to this topic. Personally I wouldn’t pay into anyone’s account as you cannot be certain what that money is being used for. The only time I did was for the brilliant 2 cocks tifo which involved the entire Holmesdale.

I honestly think the group has been in a very steep decline since those days.

With them it’s always been a case if you don’t play our game I’m taking the ball home.

Not to forget the years that the Dutch have been turning whole sides of whatever stadium they play in orange - always an amazing sight.

I agree with a fair bit of what's been said about the HF, especially surrounding their idea of special treatment and representation as some sort of unique voice of Palace fans.

Nonetheless I think the move from Block B to the middle has been a good thing. The whole of Block E and most either side in D and F stand for an entire game which creates a more intense, supportive atmosphere. Their displays in the past have been very organised as well, not to mention impressive.

Try telling that to the hundreds of established fans that sat there, wanted to remain there and were forced by the club to move.
