Thank you for sharing.

Interesting. It appears a lot of spin have been used by the club.

Our overlord is after all a master of smoke and mirrors.


Or by the HF. On balance, I think I prefer Steve Parish to be in day-to-day control rather than the HF.

Before any conclusions can be drawn, we'd also have to know the club's side of the story.

Quite. This is an entirely polarised view. For instance, where they say "incompetence" can we read: haven't agreed to all our demands?

And according to the post above it looks like no one was being forced to move. The block would have been open to everyone. It's about creating new singing section, not about removing 100 for 100.

Something needs to be done with block E regardless. Half the people want to stand and half want to sit. There are weekly arguments in that block which isn't good for anyone.

What happens if people that don’t want to stand can’t be given 4 seats together in the same or near row further to the left because there aren’t any?

And what happens if the whole of E standing means either part of F either want to stand or everyone has to stand because they can’t see, and then the same in G etc?

This is unworkable until the new stand goes up or we’re relegated and I bet the hangers onto the HF disappear. Well they’re more likely to after 2-3 seasons.

I think it's hypocritical that people can defend their right to a plastic seat and refuse to think about the progression of the club yet the same people think it's ok to turf someone out of their HOME without a second thought.

A bit harsh, as far as I was aware they were compensated and the club agreed to find them alternative housing, which I suspect will be better than they have now. Wasn't it only 1 resident who objected?

I think it's quite a good analogy.

A. For the good of the club, Palace want to move some people currently living in Wooderson Close.

B. For the good of the club, Palace wanted to move some people currently sitting in block E every other week.

Both A and B would be compensated and found alternate accommodation / seats.

Most Palace fans think A is completely correct and justified and most seem to think B isn't. If you live in A or sit in B then you probably don't think that it's a good idea.

 


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.

That's a shocking analogy as whilst A is for the good of the club B is only good for a small number of Palace fans

The proposal wouldn't just have affected those who would have been required to give up their seats in Block B. It would have affected the whole of the Holmesdale Lower. Standing in Block B only works because it's off to the side and doesn't block much of the sightlines in other blocks. Standing at the front of Block E would mean everyone in Block E having to stand and that would have had a domino effect either side of it. It was ill-thought out and has quite rightly been binned.
