Perhaps someone could hang a picture from the Holmesdale Upper balcony, just over block E, of Parish's backside doing a dump on the people below.

Why not put all the seats in the LH up for grabs at the beginning of next season. Block off a thousand in the middle explicitly for singers. Then do the same each season. In the picture above no one ws ever guaranteed a place on the terraces. Match by match

Or us, I should say. In Parish's own press release just 6 weeks ago, he said nearly 100% renew in the Lower Holmesdale, and about 92% elsewhere in the ground. By my calculation, that's about 800 seats dotted around all 4 sides of the ground, becoming free for the 400 to apply for on 22nd April (which is Easter Monday btw, when presumably the Box Office will be closed). Most of those will be at the back of the Arthur and are free because nobody wants to sit there regularly. So it's expected that E Block fans will meekly accept "sacrificing" (his word) their best seat in the house for the chance of a seat that nobody else wants? This is his statement dated 2nd Sept 2018 [Link] Would Parish have become a millionaire if he'd treated his loyal customers this way? I doubt it. It's shameful and he knows it.

Can't believe what is happening to the club I've supported since 1961/62 season. I've seen some really bad times over those years but we, as fans, stuck together. I actually thought we as a club were on the up,5/6 years of Premier League,apparently in the black,new stand in the pipeline,Dyson dryers in toilets ..now that is posh A group of Palace fans,who already had their own area and were great with what they added to the atmosphere,decided they wanted to move, have now got a singing section ( how pathetic ) at the expense of other Palace fans. Fan against fan is now a new low for us.

What a shame that this could not have been sorted out through discussion between the club, the HF and other fans in the LH. But since it was not, the club should have stuck to their original position. Without doubt the u-turn is due to the Main Stand redevelopment and possibility of a standing section receding into the distance. It is more than shameful. The original statement was correct. Forcing 100 loyal fans to move would have been unfair. Now it is extended to 400. I’m sure this is only to perpetuate the lie that it is being done to create a larger “singing section” rather than to advantage one group of supporters over another. When only 100 or so of these seats have been taken up will the others be offered back to their original holders, even if they have accepted a worse seat elsewhere in the interim? It’s a mess, is likely to get very ugly and has the potential to cause long term damage to the relationship between the club and its loyal fans, whether they sit in Block E or not.
