Protests can be counterproductive to the team's performance, as some previously have mentioned; but it really is time the powers that be know that we are not satisfied with the transfer policy (lack of younger players that can start etc etc ): & Hodgson's tactics are sucking the life out of coming to Selhurst. Another game without a shot on target or a corner , which after the game at Bramball Lane is a def posibilty, will leave me screaming. If Benteke gets a game after Wickham be loaned out I really lose it.

Sell Beneteke, or give him away
Try attacking at home, at least let some players to go on to the other side of the pitch to where the ball is.

Only Chelsea have a lower net spend than us this year, and they sold Hazard and had a transfer ban. Last year only 4 did, with 2 of those in the Championship. If you combine the last 5 seasons, 4 clubs have net spent less than us. Norwich (Championship), Sheff Utd (Championship/League 1), Southampton (sold Van Dijk, Mane etc. for huge sums), and Burnley.

We're one of only two clubs in the PL to put out a team this season with an average age of over 30. For context, Man Utd put out the youngest at 24.0.

Roy and the players we have are doing an incredible job this season. I'm just worried that we're sleepwalking into a world where this time next season, that average age is 31. The following year it's 32. We're going to have to do a lot of work in a very small space of time to turn that around. The longer we wait to start, the harder it gets to do well.

We have had several memorable bad losses at ho.home causing a degree of fan meltdown the Fulham game Huddersfield and Sunderland but where are they now and we are still hanging in there punching above our weight. So for me the best option is total support any demonstrations from the fans is only counter productive

Not sure if anybody from the management cares but I've been a supporter for 52 years. I really have had enough of how I club is run and how they expect us to pump our hard earned money into a club week in week out while our chairman drives around in a top of the range look at me sports car. All football fans are mugs and clubs rely on us being mugs for them to survive. Well I've had enough of this and our clubs management. They won't care about me or whether I support Palace or not. Shame on them, but my conscious is clear

52 years - which implies you must be about 60. In which case I respectfully suggest you grow up and act your age.

Also Parish is entitled to drive round in what he likes - Palace as a club hasn’t paid for it, and he simply isn’t wealthy enough to bankroll a club on his own.

Yea something appears not quite right at the moment, but I’d lay money Parish has put more money in over the years than the majority of fans.

I’d take him over a Peter Risdale for example every time.

What that I’m pragmatic enough to realise that somethings are more important than a game of football?
