Well done for your efforts Alex - I'm happy to get involved in some kind of singing section, I've PM'd you.

Let's be honest, there's no way anyone can replicate what the HF achieved over the years, but could still be worth getting a few likeminded lads and lasses together who can get stuck into keeping the songs going in B Block? We can't just leave it to the Arthur to pick up the slack.

I agree there has been times before the HF when the atmosphere at SP was good, but we mustn't assume this will just magically happen again. Let's not forget it might not be that easy:
-In the past we had terraces, where those who wanted to sing could easily get together. Without some groups to get the singing started it's very hard to get all seater stadiums going (look what's happened almost everywhere else).
-In the past, we had the away fans right next to the Holmesdale which inevitably drives the noise.
-In the past there weren't coach loads of 'Premier League' tourists draining the atmosphere from the place.

So when things ain't going right on the pitch it could be tough.

I do reckon we need as many fans who want to sing to club together as much as possible. Definitely think getting Block B running again is important. But wherever we are, let's keep it simple & positive - get some songs started, back every chant and keep it going.

100% agree there should be no club involvement. I don't think anyone wants that, not even the club after the mess with the HF.

100% agree there's no way anyone should try to do a pale imitation of what the HF done. I'd say drop the 'Ultras' description. Would be embarrassing.

However, I do think it's a chance to get some sort of informal singing section going amongst the fanbase. In the Premier League era it's unusual to suddenly have a section of 100 seats (in what is otherwise a sold out stadium) and it would be better to fill it with supporters who want to move seats and get a bit more lively, if you know what I mean.

It could mean that bloke who keeps standing up and singing and blocking your view might eff off, alternatively it means you can move away from that bloke who keeps moaning at you for standing up and singing!

That's gotta be a win-win for everyone :-)

No idea if there's anyone who thinks the same, but us fans probably need to sort something out now so if you agree, post here or contact the OP.

And if we don't do something, there's also a good chance the club will end up selling the tickets on the day to Premier League tourists.

Sad state of affairs when the camera pans to the legendary Palace fans and there's a coach load of losers taking selfies.

So are the HF members currently with ST in Block B saying they will stop attending and won't sing?

Am becoming confused

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

If you would like to move your season ticket to block b, it will still be the singing section then you will have to ring the box office
