Quote est1905 at 07 Apr 2014 8.21pm Quote barrybigfingers at 07 Apr 2014 5.16pm I think it's great that we have a growing fan base at Palace. It would be great to hear why you've started following CPFC this season (there are other London clubs in the top flight to choose from) and if you're now hooked on the club and will continue to support regardless of which league we'll be in next season. This is a change from some of the idiots that have been on here in recent months moaning about 'plastic' fans, 'fair weathers' and patronising them by suggesting they need to be 'moulded' into 'proper' fans! I also think its great our fan base is growing. Long may it continue. Bit of a nasty misquote there Est1905. But I agree with you agreeing with the OP.

Quote barrybigfingers at 07 Apr 2014 8.50pm Bit niave of me to expect people to reply honestly I suppose (especially as new fans seem to be vilified as plastics) It's a shame really because I know there's a lot of us who are proud that our club is finally attracting new fans. Many fans have spent years supporting CPFC as an unfashionable club and now we have a bit of attention, we get attitudes from people who dont seem to remember that they were new fans once too. It's so pathetic that there's some kind of pi55ing match going on about how long you've supported your club. The reality is that there's been a significant increase in ticket sales since we got promoted and it would be good to understand why these people have chosen Palace and how they're enjoying the ride. I hope some people will come forward and "confess" to being new fans Some of us are very pleased your here (although we know what you're in for if you stick around!). I've supported palace for 45 years and this is the worst post ever.

Quote Rubin at 07 Apr 2014 9.04pm 'New' fans have probably always supported Palace, but haven't had a season ticket or gone regularly. I highly doubt that there's any adults who have suddenly decided to start supporting us just because we're now in the Prem. Over half of Brighton's new fans appeared when they got their shiny new stadium. I think it would be naive to think that being in the prem would not attract a fair few who are only there to watch the superstars of the opposition. has resisted writing a single post on the Ross McCormack thread !!!

I have 5 spare tickets you can have, can you meet me outside the clock tower tesco's tonight at 10pm? It's ok, I've been in touch with chairman Steve Paris and he is gonna sort me out some tickets.
