The one big thing the board could do to address this feeling is to get a grip on the tickets ending up in the hands of touts. I mean, how many paper tickets do they send to a season ticket holder? Doesn't it get flagged up on the computer screen, 'this cvnt has had every single ticket posted to him in paper form this season?'

Sort that out Parish and the squad. The rest of this flyer is irrelevant. Lights? Who cares? Tv cameras? Bothered. If you're watching the match then you wouldn't notice or care.

I agree that there may be an issue with touts but some fans have genuine reasons not to be able to make a particular match and you shouldn't penalise those fans because of the touting problem.

I booked a holiday in May and was gutted when the fixture list came out and I had to miss the ManUre and Chelsea games and I was on callout for work for the Swansea match so couldn't make that either. So in order that the tickets didn't go to waste I got them printed and gave them away free (£180 worth!) to my friends (who are all Palace fans to a certain extent) and because I wanted those seats occupied to add to the support.

Do we actually play the opposing team's anthems in the concourse? Really? I'm not so sure but if that's the case then that needs to stop.
I'm pretty sceptical about all this. I would say the person most responsible for ruining the club's identity is Pardew. Thanks to him the team is characterless at the moment, there's no real leaders. What on earth was AP thinking trying to turn us into a tippy tappy football team FFS? We're about being a competitive and durable team. We may not always beat the big boys but they knew they'd been in a game with us.

If all they allege is correct about cantona shirts being given out, music being piped into their areas and so on none of that has anything to do with pardew. The man has gone and I accept people didn't like him but blaming him for everything at the club is crazy. People need to start taking a long hard look at parish and co , yes they saved us from administration I have heard this argument but what is going on at the club in terms of players going , who we sign , lights , music and facilities comes down to him and the investors. Time people woke up and accepted this and took the rose tinted glasses off

I agree that the culture of our club is leaning somewhat towards a more commercialised and Americanised culture.

The values that made us unique as a club have severely diminished and the attempts to make us into some kind of money making world brand feels embarrassing and fake.

I much preferred the little old Palace and underdog mentality we used to have as this brings about a certain type of team culture and bond with the fans that is refreshing and slightly unique in this league

It appears that as we have wandered from this culture of old, our togetherness, atmosphere and results have took a turn from the worst.

Lets get back that feeling of old!
