I think you'll be shocked by the amount of people who aren't. The Fact is we do not know which view is correct !!! The major reason for this is the club completely mismanaged the whole situation. They should have polled the season ticket holders to ascertain views. The fact is only people with the polarised views will be vocal on any subject and this is no different. Unfortunately this issue has become damaging to club in many ways. Firstly its reputation in the wider football world has been reduced (on the surface it said no and then capitulated due to pressure), secondly it has caused this rift between supporters (This could have been avoided) inevitably some supporters will decide to become less active or even stop coming. The club in one of its statements said it would ensure that the singing section were sat, it is quite clear from comments on here that they didn't yesterday. This has knock on effects to both the new stand proposals and taking part in a safe standing trial

You can see the clapping and therefore probably singing in E and C but not in D. That’s fine for when trying to make a point or when up for it or in the cup when there’s more than 400 in E but I’m unsure of how it’ll be usually, unless of course there’s fewer than 400 singing around B in league games this season, which is possible. Should’ve got all singers in the centre but Parish wanted to upset as few people as possible.

HF did not renew season tickets in B ( they may have renewed elsewhere but no one knows). The on line survey which was openly used by supporters of other clubs took place. The Club changed its mind and reversed its decision.

In terms of analogies to prove a point of view: Imagine you've rented to same house for 20 years, stuck with it and paid your dues through thick and thin. The next door neighbours who've been there half as long decide they want your house because the view is nicer. They even threaten to make themselves homeless if they don't get what they want. The council chuck you out and move them in offering you a room in a brand new house which might never be built. In the meantime, you can have their house, which wasn't good enough for them... Think about it. It's the difference between right and wrong, no matter what the HF bring to the party.

BRM, your type should stay away from the Holmesdale, and perhaps Selhurst Park. You’re a negative influence. I bet the Grimsby fans, who were terrific, couldn’t believe that a Premier League team would put up a din like we did in their cup final. Clear off mate, you’d be better from your armchair. Selhurst is better without you.

From where I was standing in block D, I only heard Grimsby fans sing twice. I know they were singing but I couldn’t hear them because we were also singing .Just like they probably couldn’t hear us either. It is condescending but true. Otherwise they wouldn’t have bought 5,500 fans. You are a negative influence and a wind up merchant. How about you let everyone else enjoy it and move on? Time to accept it Broken Record Man.
