1. It's a goodwill gesture, not compensation. Big difference.
2. Or...........our club deciding that this is the path they wish to follow for the greater good?


Parish actually called it compensation. But hey, what does he know.

The notion of having a "singing section" is a complete misnomer - surely all corners of the ground are capable of airing their voices (more so if there is some excitement and passion from the players and management) ?
What if the "singing section" have a strop and refuse to sing, are they going to be turfed out by the stewards? Frankly the whole thing is an embarrassment to the club.

The club wanted the HF to return so came up with this marketing strategy !

At the end of the day if the atmosphere at the ground has been somewhat flat it is because of our dire home performances and results - we haven't scored a goal from open play at home yet nor won a game ! Give the crowd somewthing to get excited about and the atmosphere will improve greatly.

All the flag waving,displays and singing of the HF hardly translated into good home results but we are told the return of the HF is for the "Greater good".

But you seem happy for them to make that very same seat their own?


And why not? The (very obvious) difference is the existing S/ticket holders did not force anyone out of that seat before THEY occupied it. Bit weird that has to be explained but there you go....

Marketing strategy? WTF! What marketing strategy have they come up with. Seriously, this is such an idiotic statement.

Noticed last season when we played some of the so called lesser teams and we were losing that they bantered us about our “famous atmosphere”.

Whole thing’s laughably overplayed. Made a big difference in the Championship but looks like yet another example of Premier League expectation.

Seriously ? Turf a load of other long term fans out of their seats ?

Yes it's all getting very silly.
Why is Parish pandering to our hugely overrated part-time Ultras, the Holmesdale Fanatics ?
At Selhurst Park they are not fanatical at all this season,but they might be next season if they're happy with their seating arrangements,(such rebels).
Parish tell them to sling their hooks,and leave the block E folk alone.

This 2,185th post on the BBS thread is pretty funny...

‘Why don't the 10 or so who keep posting evryday pm each other and just put out 1 statement between you there stop you repeating same things everyday
1 we picked our seats in a hard hat before hf were born
2 we renewed when it was sxxx
3 we wasn't arsked our opinion
4 can't ss be anywhere other then our seats
5why are hf allowed to pick who goes in ss
Ect ect
Then just put it up once a day on bbs
Email sp or box office
It will save you doing this everyday till ss are given said seats
Fans do feel sorry for you those effected were just unlucky there seats were chosen for ss it could have been block c or d or rows at front of e that's just bad luck .’

I suppose you had to be there.

All I want is to know the new rules and who is calling the shots. CPFC says this is its singing section NOT the HF. So how do we join and who gets priority on the best seats in the house.

Simple innit.

Not as much as Murray. I agree, it's overplayed.....useful when there is a need to look for an excuse.
