Good afternoon to all of you Palace fans and welcome back to the Prem!

Just wanted to wish you all luck on Saturday (obviously not too much).
Also wanted to let you know that we stokies are planning to do 1mins applause on the 14th min for Greg Bradshaw aged 14 and a massive stoke city supporter sadly passed away at 10pm from being hit by a speeding car he was taken to hospital and went into theatre but sadly they could not save him. Would be great if you could spread this to your fellow fans, even join in the applause. I post this on here as we did a similar thing for another young fan last year when Manure came to Stoke and the c***s started singing "what the f***ing hell is that" towards the end of it (wtf was that after it) etc. Even though they were told ahead of the game as well! Hopefully you guys/girls have a bit more respect/pride than that bunch of tosspots.

Enjoy the game (not too much though )

RIP Greg Bradshaw a 14 year old Stoke fan who was tragically killed yesterday after being hit by a car.

Greg was in my lads year at school and everyone who knew Greg is simply devastated - Greg's friends have contacted the page to see if we would drum up support for a minutes applause on the 14th minute of the Home game v Palace.

All our thoughts are with Greg's Friends and Family - Greg was lucky to have such wonderful Friends, they have set up a facebook page in his memory and have relentlessly contacted all the Stoke City Pages to get this tribute for Greg setup.

I didn't know Greg myself, but my lad did - Greg was a talented youngster who took part in Stokes got Talent... he was a massive Stoke fan.

Can I ask everyone who sees this post who is going to the Palace game to show your respects for a life lost too soon.... A minutes applause on the 14th minute."

Would be nice to join them I think.

Think you'll find Palace fans have abit more class than M.U. Be very dissapointed if we don't join in or at least respect the gesture.

A five year old child could do this! Somebody fetch me a five year old child.

Will be there and will join in with the mins applause.

Will want to beat you on Saturday but this is more than football rivalry.good on you blokes for doing this.

RIP to Gregg and condolences to his family.

Sorry to hear that news.

It doesn't surprise me that Manure were disrespectful.

Palace fans aren't like that.

I was at Anfield when they had a minutes applause for Emlyn Hughes and the Kop gave us an ovation for joining in and chanting his name.

Lets hope its a good day (but 3 points for us please?)

There is no question the Palace fans will be respectful. Pass on my condolences.
