So how else does a supporter base grow, because I’ve never seen our support multiply as the next generation sits by the previous 2 or 3?

Sadly although we are a big City club we share our city with 12 other London clubs (unlike in Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, etc) but in South London we are probably the biggest club, certainly at the moment if not always and we do still have a large and largely untapped catchment area. Therefore creating a winning, successful team and sustaining it will grow the club faster than anything/anyone else could ever do. This is a fact.
Being a family orientated club, having HF, building a new stand are all attractions of course and all make the club appealing in one way or another depending on what floats your boat but like it or not, success grows clubs, failure shrinks them. Look at Preston North End 50 years ago and now. Look at Liverpool 50 years ago and now. Believe it or not youngsters the giants of today were just medium sized clubs years ago. It was success on the pitch that got them where they are now.

As far as I can make out...it would be a section specifically for all those wishing to sing to congregate through the purchase of tickets. So if you bought one in there it would be with the intent to join in, otherwise you'd be in for a surprise lol

Any tickets for the area on general sale should clearly state this as well

Doesn't really answer my question. Would it be certain blocks, where you'd puy those season tickets up fof sale only to 'singers'. Would it be first come, first served, or would they have to be HF members and be 'vetted' bh them.

Originally posted by Tipp_Eagle I understand your comments and to answer your question No I would not like a drum beating away all game around me and a quick straw poll around me supports this thought. I agree I don't own my seat but I pay my money abide by the rules so why should I have to move everybody has same rights.

Not that how long you supported the club is a factor in all this but I have been going since 1964 the days of Holton Whitehouse Long etc so standing on the Holmesdale terrace or indeed where the Arthur Waite is still in my memory banks!and we survived without the HF all those years.

i am not a supporter of your stance on this nor on the HF stance , i support palace and the simple as that , i understand where you are coming from but i dont intend to insult you but just because you have been going up the palace since 95 it doesn't give you the right to the seat as you are not buying the seat only renting it, let me put this scenario to you . how would you feel seated in your seat surrounded by the HF jumping up and down waving their flags in your face while you are trying to watch the match? i do however think the way things were were great to tell the truth , the whole stand joined in singing and shouting and baying for blood ( especially the brighton game )i just loved the atmosphere in the homelsdale its not the same anymore the sooner it gets put right the better . BTW i have been going there since 1980 when there was no seats all the singers and chanters gathered behind the goal .

The people who have invested money in the club own the club, and the fans are just customers. Unless the rules of ownership have changed recently.

I can't see the owners of Tesco moving the alcohol aisle closer to the door because it suits a minority group of their customers.

Oh but they would if they realised by doing that they would get more alcoholics through said door

Maybe they should become the Halftime Fanatics and meet in the centre circle and sing their riveting songs for 15 mins.

So encouraging youngsters to Selhurst is done by :

*Random HF adults escorting kids to Selhurst Park
*Getting them to discharge illegal pyrotechnics in the ground(s)
* Adopting a mob mentality, where you can bully your own fans (mostly elderly or woman) out of their seats.

Or do parents/grandparents and other family members take their youngsters along to enjoy a friendly, enjoyable and safe time.
I would guess it's mostly a generational thing.

attracting thugs is not what I would want for CPFC

Exactly
We want REAL fans wearing OUR colours
NOT some Oswald Mosley MOB of blackshirts

They're signing it in huge numbers from North Stand Chat; there does seem to be a high proportion of signatories called Nigel and Mr Tumble though, and even Fanny Chmelar has weighed in. Perhaps it'd be better to put a reminder on there?
