The Sussex police said last week was a high risk fixture and the fans couldn't be trusted-we proved them right.For the first time in many years, I didn't feel 'South London and Proud'. We should shut up, take whatever allocation we get, and prove we now how to behave, in the hope we might be able to show last week was a 'one off' and we can have proper allocations going forward. Where did you get the figure of 150 ticketless fans? How is it even possible to know that figure?
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

Perhaps I am a "Miserable sod" as well. If the EPL is all that matters you my friend are supporting the wrong club.

The way I see it if Brighton or the Police or whoever reduced the palace ticket allocation are the ones to blame, for what went on at Brighton. Should never have reduced the ticket allocation, they have never done that before to my knowledge and we haven't tried to get in before like that so that should tell you its down to Brighton.

How have you arrived at 600. The Police and Authorities made a huge song and dance about this game. what they should have done was said nothing, which happens with other clubs fixtures. Would the same amount of publicity and ticket checking have been made for Chelsea v Spurs, Leeds V Manure, Millwall v West Ham, Sunderland v Newcastle the list goes on. I have been to these games in the 70's onwards, and what happened the other night which was something about nothing,and was not a patch of what used to happen all those years ago. All Derby matches are high tension if you dont like it then dont go. Hence, the Police would not let anyone in just after kickoff. Just for reference the allocation for FA cup matches is 15%
rub a dub dub who's buying the next round in the Pub? |

Yes reread and indeed, looks like Monday. Expected an early kick off Saturday or Sunday really, but they must think it's easier to crowd control in the dark after a few beers......
