I wasn"t bothered about the hf either way when they started, or when i first noticed them, thought the all black thing was a bit crap, bit like the man united men in black thing!, but i was swayed by their performance at stamford bridge season before last, and the home support complaining that the atmosphere put there players off! This plus the best fa cup final display has turned my opinion on them, and maybe another fine performance at the bridge next time out, a flash hf reunited to show us what they can achieve, would be absolutely fantastic!

Originally posted by npn Interestingly, I think they did a display which said "no matter what". It turned out the small print was "unless we don't get our own way" . For me, I will enjoy having the atmosphere back, but their reputation as supporters of the club first and foremost is shattered, and they will now effectively be hired cheerleaders. Very good post. People have been badmouthing the HF for years and I’ve never done anything but support them and their efforts. This whole saga has put them down in my estimations tenfold. And they certainly haven’t acted in a “fanatical” way. Imagine everyone else going on strike everytime they don’t like a clubs defision. The atmosphere would be effected a whole lot more negatively than what we’ve seen at the start of this season. We're the Arthur over ere!

Originally posted by spartakev2 So you think some one who buys a paper ticket now and again should bd treated ghe sand as someone who buys a season ticket every year? OK Well you cant really write but from guessing what you are trying to ask I would say only that I have known a fan that bought a paper ticket each week on the door because he worked Saturday mornings and was never 100% certain he would make the game. This was every week so he didn't see the sense in buying a season ticket if there was a chance it would rarely get used. As it turned out he ended up missing only 2 or 3 games all season so the following year took a chance and bought a season ticket. Because of the cost of buying 23 paper tickets (we were in the Championship at the time) compared to a season ticket that year it could be argued he was more of a fan because he was quite happy to pay more over the course of the year than a season ticket holder did. So in answer to your naive question, yes, of course it is highly possible that a fan that buys a ticket on the day, for all sorts of reasons can feasibly be every bit as much of a fan as a season ticket holder. But then again, those with rational brains that are grown ups probably wouldn't need all that explaining.

A mate of mine who supports Arsenal sarcastically claimed he and a few Emirates drinking pals were going to boycott home games until they were relocated down behind the goal because he and his mates claime to sing far more than those currently occupying that area. Not that I'd want to defend the HF but I had no answer to this. Other clubs see whats going on and they are laughing at Parish. He can hardly blame them either.

But now they're starting to believe their over inflated image,and imagine they are a superior breed of Palace supporter. Of course they are deluded.Parish has caved in to their demands because he wants the quiet life,and we're nearly always sold out anyway,so he doesn't care who sits or stands where. Quite frankly this recent spat has made Palace a laughing stock among opposing fans,and the HF have become a total embarrassment. Edited by bicycle repair man (30 Sep 2018 12.38am) You are obviously incapable of seeing the bigger picture. Personally, I'm more interested in staying up this season. With our criminal lack of investment in the squad over the last two windows, we are currently going backward. At least the chairman has got one thing right. The '12th man' will return.

Originally posted by PZ Eagle As for your ridiculous assertion that without the HF we would have been relegated it's actually just an assumption as you cannot back it up with facts. I prefer to think the reasons we haven't been relegated are down to Tony Pullis, Alan Pardew in his early tenure, Sam Allardyce and then Roy Hodgson who all got the team playing well enough to stay up. It's not that long ago that we only stayed up only because we were (almost) only winning when on the road. There were long, long spells when we hardly ever won at home. So the HF's impact at home was clearly not enough to win us games. Maybe on the road they were a factor, but that's a different matter from the argument here. They used to create a fantastic atmosphere which I miss greatly.
