Vocal support is fine without so many banners and NO flares Probably why so many pubs are empty now. Because the customers were not heard. Come over and take a look sometime.

I was there 6 weeks December / January including the Goat and Clifton Arms. Most of the pubs I went to in London were packed, no sign of ignored customers. Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I think that is called the London bubble. When I go into central London all the bars and restaurants are packed however once you get away from London you can see the difference. I was in Bury St Edmond's last year the high street started closing from 4pm and by 7pm I was struggling to find a restaurant that was open. There really is a divide I wouldn't call it North South more like London and the rest. One more point

Well then Palace should apply that to their customers (fans). Dont ignore them. To be fair to Parish I reckon he does a good job at the ground of engaging with us fans. Although he could do a lot better with food supplies in the Arthur.!!

What you were doing was assuming I was way away in Hong Kong and out of touch. Whatever expression you want to use , the HF should stick to making a supportive noise at matches , not trying to be some kind of Popular Front for the Liberation of Norwood.

Parish cynically gave them preferential treatment when he thought they were a free branding opportunity. As I said above, support the team, don't bring politics into the mix. I was outside the Goat pre Brighton game when the road was closed for a long time as the Brighton fans walked up to the ground from NJ station. 30 or so black clad HF made an appearance for a few minutes then left, what were they trying to prove? Just produced groans and laughter from the Palace fans in the pub. Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition.

So, the hf want to come out & play again after having a hissy fit & refusing to wave flags etc, they now want your money to(£4,000) to get little plastic hand flags for the Holmesdale stand, what about the rest of the ground? . . .

Remember how we laughed at Brighton when they gave out stuff to help generate their atmosphere. I am not in favour if the flags are made of plastic Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition.
