How many of our new so called 'plastics' where at Sheffield Wednesday on that famous day in May 2010. I agree with Bubble Wrap i won't be that gutted if we do go down as the Championship is exciting and we will get the hardcore fans only at away games. I was there but then didn't have another season ticket until this season. I avoid radiators and direct sunlight at all costs.

Can't make many games these days as I have a mortgage, work and family. In fact I am so plastic that I'm much happier at matches in the bleak midwinter where there is no chance of melting. Carlisle at home in the 80s was perfect one, cold and no chance of mass body heat softening me up . Went to Samsunspor and needed weeks being re-moulded.

Yeah great thread! Let's get relegated so the gate drops by 8,000 people and interest in our club starts to fall away, we'll have less tv money and the stadium won't get developed. BUT on a positive we'll have 'hardcore' only away fans in the lower league, fondly remembering when we almost went down to the third tier of English football for the first time in years and years AND there won't be any 'so called plastics' at Selhurst park either, spending their hard earned money and putting much needed revenue into the club! I would be gutted if we went down as, strange as it seems, I would rather watch Arsenal away in the PL knowing the club are financially stable and in a better position to push on.

But I wasn't at Sheffield in 2010 so I'm plastic! It's strange isn't it - I can't remember us calling anyone plastic when Sir Steve started to work his magic and the gates began to climb again or did we and my memory is selective?

the excitement comes from being involved in a battle at the top or the bottom. If it goes to the wire in the Premier League then there'll be the same excitement. Had we got relegated at Sheff Weds then no one would be talking about it, which is probably why there's a stigma about the PL (with some fans) as we have never survived! With the new TV money I think within a couple of years the Championship will have a two tier structure like the PL anyway, with richer clubs dominating the top 8 or so spots.

Avoiding the plastic debate. I was at that game, and to think we were minutes from going down to League 1. Calvin Andrew started for us and Stern John came on. We've come along way. And I also made about £6 in loose change thrown at me, watched it back on BBC and they didn't make too much of the trouble post game. Was a surreal day, but that's Palace for you, we have always had some type of drama/excitement that has kept us going and in the lat few years really unified the fans ( no matter where they are). Paul Hart did a great job steadying the ship. Edited by Kishishev (15 Feb 2014 9.36am)

I wasn't and I don't have a season ticket. Am I a plastic? It's not about being *hardcore it's about being able to afford going to games! As for not being bothered about being back in the championship, I am, we're in the prem and that's where I wanna stay. I've only read the op and this post, I don't need to read any more, miles18 has nailed it.
