Anybody visiting London has four much much bigger teams to choose from, but what do I know about Palace. If you don't spend your every weekend in Lloyds in Croydon you're not a true supporter. They do still have a Lloyds there right?

Walking barefoot through north end to the cab office at west croydon. Aah... When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC

The club's message was clearly aimed at the genuine Palace supporter, living abroad, who want to attend a game when visiting the UK. The HF have responded to this with a rant about so-called 'tourists', which could easily be construed as offensive by an exiled fan. My personal view is that I have no problem with any neutral who wishes to buy a ticket to see a PL game. At the end of the day their money's as good as anyone else's and I didn't see any complaints about all those extra 'supporters' who emerge from the woodwork every time we get to Wembley.

Anyone who wants to come to Selhurst to watch the Palace is welcome,and that was quite a ridiculous and insulting tweet. Quite frankly those "real fans" who shout and scream abuse at the players when things go wrong on the pitch,or run on to confront individual players are the ones we wouldn't miss. If we were to be relegated, next season we would be glad of any "tourists" to help fill the ground, because a lot of our newer fans won't bother to turn up if we are not in the Premier League.

Originally posted by Carrick They were of course wrong to post this. And I don't think they meant it in the way of blocking all overseas fans. And yes who can stop people supporting our club. I wish someone would have stopped me! However.... I am a season ticket holder in block Y of the Arthur and is becoming increasingly pissed off with day trippers filming everything including me and my kids, asking to take photos of them etc etc This is the stub hub era that has destroyed atmospheres at the likes of white hart lane and now destroying selhurst so I kind of get their point, or at least the point I think they were aiming at! So, correct the HF shoudlnt have posted this, but I think I get what they were getting at. Winning on average 1 league match in every 6 for 13 months, and that's home and away (I don't know how bad it is just at home) is what's killed the atmosphere, in certain stands anyway. I've honestly only seen people taking photos once. That was of people going in the turnstiles. COYP

Just wondering how you know what the board meant and that it was not also aimed at football fans in general wanting to watch palace in the premiership? You may be right. Whereas I think we know HFS stance on tourists and day trippers. So as I don't think the HF message could be construed in any other way than clearly meaning what it meant. The board could be just drumming for business and not just palace fans

Supervising our ticketing policies is an important part of the HF's remit, and those who disagree with their carefully considered verdict ought to write directly to their PO box.

"HF's remit" on on ticket sales,what a ludicrous statement. Palace are at liberty to sell tickets to whoever is willing to pay,they don't need to consult the fans about their ticketing policy.Maybe like in the Cup Final the club makes arrangements for certain groups of fans to be sat together, that's about it.
