I don't know the demographic of the so called protesters, although I can hazard a guess. I've been a supporter since 1967. Things have been far, far worse with the club than most of those people can imagine. The present situation isn't great but only a few points separate Palace from Fulham, Brentford and Bournemouth and yet those clubs aren't experiencing angst from their fans. Do I feel spoilt ? No. Why ? Because I've seen enough dross down the years that I feel a sustained run in the Premier League is a kind of reward for my loyalty. I think I've earned it. I'm frustrated by the events of this season which could yet end in the Perfect Storm of relegation. My hope is that we stay up, lessons are learned and that we are able to re-set positively next season. I don't think that's asking too much

No, I keep hearing how we should be grateful for our 11 seasons in the Premier league, why ? You've got the big 6 and then you have Everton, Newcastle, villa, West ham and Leeds In a group of their own. After that you have about 30 clubs relatively similar in size. Yeah it's great we're in the top 10 of them 30 clubs but it's not really that surprising or anything worth celebrating. Whenever we've been in the 2nd division we've always been competitive financially, a fan base that reflects our league position. You appear to have wiped 2 administrations from your memory. There isnt a 2nd division, its League 2 and we have never played in it.

Palace fans are not spoilt, nor are the stupid, it any 11 show 100% effort with some attacking intent then they back the manager and players 100%, if they carry on with the defensive, half hearted performance of lately, then though will get slaughtered, and so they should, Roy is becoming an embarrassment and Parish, who i have always backed, isn't far behind Agree 100 percent . Luton turned up with 11 and attacked the living s*** out of Chelsea and they didnt have a clue what was going on , it was like wtf is going on here how dare they attack us they are Luton and we are the mighty Chelsea. In the words of the wize old sage Corporal Jones "They don't like it up 'em!". No we are not spoilt Roy and Steve should both do one. He valued the club at 750 mill he's having a giant big f*** off giraffe.

SHORT REPLY. This season has seen the going get really tough. With my tin hat on, it is (only) my opinion that some fans are getting above themselves. Producing a banner that may only reflect a minority opinion is one example. Slagging off your own players in front of opposition is another and embarassing. Get behind your team. COYP !
We move in the direction of our thoughts. |

I'm with you on this askyourself. It would seem that some 'fans' have expectations of our club that are beyond realistic capabilities given our financial situation. We are not wealthy, we do not contravene FFP guidelines and we are a long established EPL club. I'll join you in calling for everyone to 'get behind your team.'
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

I think the majority of fans are aware of the limited potential of the club. We don't expect much. A decent cup run and maybe just maybe a finish high enough for qualification for a Euro place would be considered a great season. What is expected is the team to be spirited, try 100% and occasionally surprise a 'big' club. We expect Palace to have a go. I don't think that's being spoilt.
I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything. |

I think some younger fans are spoilt, they don’t know what real pain being a palace fan is. Football outside the premier league doesn’t exist and the thought of relegation is the end of the world.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

I cant see many criticising or not behind the team POG its more to do with Roy's outdated methods and his unwillingness to change and constant need to play people out of position and Parishes and co,s broken record of using the FFP as an excuse not to spend money , we have a very paper thin squad with no strength in depth how do other teams manage and stay within the guidelines. i will be behind the team only if they give 100 percent , but i think they are as fed up with the situation as we are .
This could be heaven or this could be hell . |
