If you don't go to matches you are in no position to slag off the atmosphere created by the HF and others. Pop along one day and you may be surprised.
I agree the drum was a bit tooooo constant yesterday but was not out of tune.

Long standing season ticket holder, didn't renew last season due to family commitments/travel/work. Still made 10 away games and 2 at home.

I have no intention of going to any home game this year.

If you take the position of "you can't have an opinion on the atmosphere if you don't go" then it's a short road to "if you don't go you can't have an opinion on palace"
Personally, I don't see why you would think that regular, unflinching attendance qualifies you to have a more valid opinion. It doesn't. I've met American and Norwegian fans who have never been but watch every game and have a far superior technical understanding than half the die hards on here who go to every game and seem to be mesmerised by a handful of odd balls banging a f***ing drum. Says it all.

2 drums?!?!

I really, really hope that they end up either side of Mapletree for the rest of the season, literally next to him.

Chuckling at the thought of him having to pretend he's enjoying being a part of the HF when really he's dying inside lol

Is this a transcript of Maple's application to the HF so he could keep his seat?

Seriously though. There's not enough Colgate in the world to stop your breath smelling of s***. Never witnessed such unashamed arse licking.

It was louder for me but as I sit in block F it was only because they were a few blocks closer. Didn’t really notice any difference to normal atmosphere but maybe / hopefully that will change.

I’m new to the HF and throughly enjoyed our first game back. The drum wasn’t too loud but my old man did struggle keeping up with the jumping about. My Apple Watch told me I had completed my daily exercise by half-time.

There are a few people in there that seem to have signed up to the wrong thing and don’t seem to be getting involved with the chants as much as B block use to.

The original guys were great, very welcoming asking names and talking about going for drinks. It’s something that will improve with time, hope that the other blocks will start standing and we can really create something special to be proud of.

E Block - Win, Lose or Draw it’s about having a good day out
