I don’t recall prices going up by 60% in any season. I am not saying prices are cheap but in comparison to other London prem clubs I don’t think we are out of kilter. Agreed our stadium is not up to much but I’d rather that than some soulless new build

People being made redundant also hasn't helped. Pre-redundancy I worked Monday to Friday, in my job now I work 2 weekends out of 4. Add over 200 miles round trip and getting older it's a massive faff.

Thanks .No fair weather fans allowed in Palace . I used to go every home game when i was living in New Addington , I remember walking in the pissing rain from west croydon to selhurst park because i didnt have the 5 pence bus fare , only to get there and the wednesday night game was cancelled . No google back then or drainage on the pitch pure muck it was . I try to get over a few times every year , just to get away from the stropy bitch teenagers i got, and i love Palace, but its getting too expensive . Oh and i fcuking hate Brighton , bunch of trossards ( see what i done there )

Originally posted by Frickin Saweet i know of several people who didn't renew because they weren't enjoying the football any more and decided to do other things at the weekend. It was obvious there was going to be a change of manager from around February and we've spent a few quid in the meantime as well.
