Your point about the rest of the ground not getting involved in chants would be all the more apparant if the HF weren't there! Deathly silence springs to mind. Moaning about there being new songs that people dont know is laughable. Pride of south london, we love you and many others took their time to bed in. Cant you moan about the burgers or something else instead. Edited by cols123 (21 Oct 2019 10.56pm) Oh, I am sure he will. But not instead.

Sorry but I just don't get the purpose of singing random songs for the whole game irregardless of what is happening on the pitch. They might as well sing Queen's greatest hits if it's just a question of making noise. Back in the day, the crowd would respond accordingly depending on whether we were winning or needed to get a goal. Now it's just an irritating background noise.

It goes wrong as soon as one song is sung for the first 20 minutes.

Someone who went to Selhurst Park recently for the first time said he expected much more of the 'Singing section' adding words to the effect that it was hardly the yellow wall of Dortmund.He was very disappointed and based on what he witnessed believes that they have been over-hyped.

No it’s certainly not Dortmund ! And probably over hyped,But certainly better than at least half the premiere league. Let’s wait and hear Arsenals wall of sound on Sunday ?

Crystal Palace ‘ultras’: Ninety relentless minutes amongst the Holmesdale Fanatics What a brilliant article!! It seems incredulous that even a journalist can come down, see its worth and praise the section for what it is, while a minority of our own fans still seem opposed. I'm in the main stand and it's louder than it's ever been and IMO there is real scope for this being allowed to grow even bigger. It's clear the creativity and commitment from this group is in place for us all to play a bigger role in taking it up yet a further notch. Selhurst has been enjoyable this season - the section is consistent and a real spectacle. Let's keep pushing this forward and stop sniping at our own.

And there I was expecting your usual high level of positivity. I am positive about a great many things. Cannot, hand on heart think of anything positive to say about HF. Sure the pundits that never come to Selhurst, watch on tv or listen to other reporters ill informed opinions think they are great. Scratch the surface and for me they are starting to become divisive and toxic in the stands.

Scratch the surface and for me they are starting to become divisive and toxic in the stands. What a bitter, sad sack you are. Luckily, your opinion counts for very little when you see how they're valued by the club and most of us. Just look at Joel Ward's facebook [Link] He posts a pic of the display and says: "I want to say a BIG thank you to everyone involved, this was a special moment. I had no idea it was happening and am blown away by the continued support.. #oneclubtogetherinbattle @cpfc" Clearly directed at all those who spent a whole week apparently in a basement working on this display. It is crazy there is a minority of people bitter towards them when they provide such quality moments as this at the club that are clearly REALLY appreciated by players and fans alike. But you carry on with your own weird agenda - which seems really out of touch when you see the likes of Ward's comments.

They've just done a banner talking about unity and battling together, that 99% of supporters thought was excellent. Then Joel ward backed it on social media. They ended the game with we love you which was a great positive moment. They're the exact opposite of toxic and divisive, it's unfortunately the minority like yourself who are bringing the negativity!!
