We haven't played recently so think the OP is talking s*e. Didn't say it was Crystal Palace. Maybe he meant Buckingham Palace? In which case i'd suggest it was the Queen** having a lark. I'd say thats more Phill the Greeks sort of jape. "It's not the bullet that's got my name on it that concerns me; it's all them other ones flyin' around marked 'To Whom It May Concern.'"

It is part of one of the larger banners - been there regularly for some time. Nothing racist I am sure - simply fans of Lynyrd Skynyrd I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals.

The Confederate flag implies the good ol' boys and nothing changing. I'd prefer the Red flag of revolution with Palace about to challenge the same old trophy winners.

Skynyrd have always used the Southern Cross as a backdrop on stage and you couldn't get more anti racist than Skynyrd. To call it a symbol of racism is pure ignorance. The fact many racist groups adopted as a symbol is no different to the National Front or the BNP adopting the George Cross as their symbol. Stay out the way of the Southern thing.

Hey guys, Regular lurker here on your site, and Palace admirer from New England in the USA. Please don't adopt and support the Confederate flag in your fans' groups. I know it was 150 years ago when the South first flew this flag in our Civil War, and in a sane world it shouldn't be a big deal, but the US has some rough history and some insane people, and the flag still has bad undertones and dog whistle meanings. Sorry to butt into your message board, but thought it might be helpful to get an American's take on the flag... and I'd recommend strongly that you don't associate yourself with it. Best of luck this coming season...! Edited by billyjack (01 Jul 2014 5.17am)
