"I'm a better fan than you because I like losing".

What a bizarre bit of one upmanship.

How many thousands of pounds would you continue to flush down the bog to prove how die hard you are then?

If you've got young kids it transcends the kudos of being able to boast "I sat w***ing through 10 home defeats this year whilst all the other fans went home early" and just becomes irresponsible.
The money and the time is better spent elsewhere.

It’s not so much the losing it is the way the team plays. Utter lethargy. I think we all go for some excitement? What we get is boring triangles while the opponents all get back and organise themselves and then play across the box with no chance of an opening. Let’s face it, if Andros wasn’t tripped against Brighton we never would have scored.
That is due to the extreme caution displayed and presumably down to team instructions. It also reflects in the selection of defensive mids and nobody getting into the box when attacking. I could go on...

I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals.

I'm a season ticket holder and have been so for many years now.

I can't disagree - the home performances are so boringly predictable that my enthusiasm is at a pretty low ebb.

But - I have already renewed for next season because going to Palace is a Family thing. My daughter, son and partner have season tickets. And I travel up from the South Coast with a group of friends. That makes it worthwhile for me.

I can totally understand people not renewing but in my view it's the Club that we support. Not this Chairman, not this Manager, not this group of Players. They are all transient. Palace will still be there after they have gone.

Old, Ungifted and White

Well said, this is the proper rationale behind being a supporter. It’s our team, everyone else is passing through.

Look, I am as pissed off as anyone with our form and whilst I don’t go every week, (I currently share a season ticket as I don’t spend the whole year in the UK), I haven’t seen a win this season despite going to 50% of the games. My ticket is an eyebrow raising £4K per annum (£2k is my share) so I feel as aggrieved as the rest of you that I don’t see much value for money. Oh well at least I get free booze included in that.

We are Palace. We have been in Administration twice in modern times (how many can say that!). We are enduring/experiencing (!) our longest stay in the top flight. We were very recently in a cup final (again!). Only a couple of teams outside the top 6 are not seriously looking over their shoulder. We are playing in the most competitive league in the world.

What do we honestly expect? European football? LOL

Don't worry, as we'll get relegated soon enough!

I'm also considering giving up my season ticket too and becoming a member and going to the occassional match. I've given it a rest before and returned full of enthusiasm and it feels right to do it again.

It's really for the reasons listed above in addition to being fed up with much fewer Saturday 3pm kos.
