Was it really that much worse? It was quieter for some periods, but I really enjoyed the majority stadium singing "We Love You". Even if it was only for a short time. Thinking back, people where was sitting were quieter, the crowd was different. The guy to my right was wearing a Palace top but didn't make a peep all game. (Not everybody is a cheery type of person, fair enough) The 2 guys to my left were Belgian tourists who clearly came to see Kompany, even if they seemed to want Palace to do well. In the end, the game wasn't important because we're safe, we conceded in the first 4 minutes, and the players weren't at their best (they have been for 5 games in a row so it's understandable...). I find threads like this having a go at other Palace supporters far more disheartening. Give your fellow supporters the benefit of the doubt. Or do you think bullying other supporters is going to improve the atmosphere?

Or do you think bullying other supporters is going to improve the atmosphere? Dont think bullying is the point - the thing that frustrates me is so called die hard fans who make alot of noise when we're winning against Chelsea but when it's City and we're 2-0 down (but safe anyway) they wanna complain.. At the start of the season, when no1 wanted to know the atmosphere at Selhurst was electric - and I'm talking about the times we were not winning anything at all. I remember taking an Arsenal fan to Selhurst with me for the Arsenal game. At this point, theoretically, we were down already but the atmosphere was incredible despite the 2-0 loss. If I took someone non Palace with me yesterday, they would've laughed at the amount I've boasted and preached our tremendous support this season. I've also said a number of times that I actually think the atmosphere was much better at Selhurst last season (home + away), but I guess that's expected when you go Prem. It's just concerning that next season we don't know what will happen, we could get over confident and be in a right relegation scrap or it could be mediocre all season (and could stay like that for a while until we progress) and the one thing that will keep Palace magic is the atmosphere and pride on match days. If that goes, will be very, very sad IMO. We're the Arthur over ere!

One massive improvement would be to stop singing the "we're the boys from SE25". I don't mind the words, but the tune and tone create no volume at all. Its just a murmuring dirge. Compare that to the "We love you, we follow" chant, you get so much more from that one. ... what

No wonder you thought the atmosphere was bad if you were there on Saturday with just Sainsbury's shoppers and trolley wheel noise. If Prem grounds are as quiet as that we might as well just have every game on tv and scrap crowds altogether. COYP

If that goes, will be very, very sad IMO. I sympathise with what you say. But we have to be realistic, Palace had nothing to play for, so obviously the atmosphere is going to be more relaxed, ie quieter.

Nah. Holmesdale started singing 'Pride of South London, South London's Number 1' about 30 seconds before Jedinak led the team out and some carried on singing it as GAO started. So then there wasn't as many people starting off GAO with 'You say that you love me.' COYP
