Why doesn't the club shop cash in and start selling a Holmesdale Fanatics replica kit?

They'd be all in black. With a hoodie. and optional drum accessory.

I'm a big fan of the Holmesdale Fanatics as I've never known Palace fans go to the lengths they do to get organised and create an atmosphere.

Yes, I know I am talking from a position of ignorance, as I don't actually know any of them, but I admire these young turks from a distance.

Having said that, i'm sure they are big enough to take a bit of teasing.

What accessories would you have for the Holmesdale Fanatics replica kit?

er.... quick question. Are they quite hard, these HF? Are they likely to turn up unexpectedly at the Purley Arms and give me a spanking?

^^ made me laugh^^

they are only 'hard' in numbers. And sometimes even that is not enough. Ask a resident of Copers Cope Lane
Confront, and they will run

I disengage, I turn the page.

oh the irony!!

Yes I’ve made my point a lot in response to other repetitive posts it has to be said but that was a cheap and quite pathetic shot, after 164 pages.

Anyone would think he’s envious they get more out of supporting Palace than he does.

The Club in its statement said "Given that nearly 100% of Lower Holmesdale season ticket holders renew (and 92% for the stadium as a whole this year), the only practical location to move those supporters in Block E to facilitate such a move would have been either at the front of block B - in effect swapping seats with the Holmesdale Fanatics - or offering them seats that are considerably less desirable towards the back of the Arthur Wait stand." I fail to see how this can be moved forward unless the HF move back to block B at least in short term.
Then proper consultation can take place. However I see many problems moving them to the centre

1) the problem the club highlighted above has not gone away so where will existing people move to and what revenue will be lost?
2) Also unless the singing section either agree to be predominately seated (unlikely) they will cause site problems for people who remain seated
3)The other option to 2 is the singing section has enough support to take over all of that end of ground and I suspect this is unlikely.
4) What really worries me is if they are moved to centre the whole stand will effectively stand and I feel authorities will act. this could be a fine, closing the Holmesdale, refusal to allow a safe standing trial to take place or the loss of planning permission.

This is why I think club should consult widely and find out real demand before they decide on any action

The Holmesdale stend holds 5,000. The lower tier makes up 3,000 of that. HF have a little way to go. There's only 100 of them!
