Quote OllieMaidstoneEagle at 17 Dec 2013 10.22pm
It's all relative really. We have our aims,ambitions and hopes as do all other supporters of other clubs, albeit at different levels. But who would be the happier fans? Us, 'cause we finished 4th from bottom or others whose clubs have maybe not quite reached their targets but nonetheless have achieved more than we,as Palace fans,could only ever dream of. We have had a fair few matches where we have stood as one in a sea of fraught emotion with our future very much in doubt,where had it not gone in our favour,we would be travelling to places no-where near as glamourous as Stamford Bridge etc. then posters like Chelski would probably not grace our boards in debate today. We may be little Palace but we will grab any small positives and guard them as if they were The Crown Jewels. Ollie's Dad,Ash. Edited by OllieMaidstoneEagle (17 Dec 2013 10.23pm)

All that aside Chelski, i thought we did well on Saturday , and with some sharper finishing could have got something from the game. Your view ?
I think I heard your fans sing 2 or 3 songs all game whereas we carried on till the end. Is is embarrassing your own manager clapped us away fans but didn't bother with the home fans?
Edited by chelski (16 Dec 2013 2.08pm) Neither is the atmosphere when you play big teams. Not a massive game for us, why would it be? Just a local game, really. Mourinho said it himself, the support in the ground isn't good. If you just go to matches with the expectation of winning, I feel sorry for you. Going to football isn't all about winning, it's the camaraderie between supporters, meeting up with mates and sharing the experience, not just trophies and wins. I'd rather be on the rollercoaster that is Crystal Palace rather than the soulless club that is Chelsea. Whatever way you dress it up, the club has lost it's soul, and without that, football is pretty pointless.
Ever been to a game where the majority of people around you are so emotional that they were crying because your team won?? Winning all the time certainly doesn't make football more enjoyable. I discovered that last year when our atmosphere's suffered when we were winning and scoring tonnes. Came out of games not feeling all that good because I was disappointed in our Atmosphere, but also because I got used to winning and no longer felt the same relief when we scored or came away with a result. As to the things you mention, I doubt they were any better than: Wembley last year The Amex in the playoffs last year (as a club without any proper rivals, you won't ever appreciate a night like that) Hillsborough 2010 (unlikely you can have been to a game as important to you as this was to us) Protests at LLoyds and Selhurst (Knowing your club has been saved is better than any game) And there are plenty more It's all relative. And for you, success must feel alot less novel than it does for us. And yes, I've been to games where everyone around me cried

Our massive games this season are against our relegation rivals and as a club with a relatively low % of deluded supporters, we all know this is true.

I think you're missing the point. I went to Chelsea because Palace were playing, not because it was Chelsea. That's why I've also just bought tickets to Villa away, and why I went to Stoke earlier in the season. It's why I have a season ticket instead of picking and choosing the games I like - I couldn't give a s*** who we're playing (let alone some wannabe glamour club who thinks paying a few blokes to wave flags a bit constitutes an atmosphere), I just want to watch Palace. Therein lies the difference between the two fan bases. We are fans, you are customers. We are supporters, you are observers. I would quite happily end up back I'm the Championship if it meant we didn't end up like you, a Russian Oligarch's plaything with no soul.

If a rich benefactor arrived would more Palace fans go? It's impossible to tell - we sell out anyway without one. Sure, more people would probably be interested in us, but these people aren't fans (well, by your standards they are), they are football tourists. Oh, and millions of Chelsea fans? That is ludicrous. There are perhaps thousands of Chelsea fans. Hundreds of thousands if you include plastic, two-bob fair weather morons such as yourself. Millions? You truly are the most delusional away 'fan' we have had on here in a long time. Finally, if you gave me a choice between Messi and Ronaldo in a big, soulless stadium full of people who had never heard of the Dave Clark Five, would shout 'come on Wilf' every time Bolasie got the ball (sadly too common at times last year towards the end) and fellow fans such as yourself, I would take the Championship in a heartbeat. The enjoyment I get doesn't come from the success, it comes from the roller coaster ride, and the passion that permeates SE25 every other Saturday, and occasionally Sundays when Murdoch feels like it. Chelsea 'fans' will never understand, but they are missing out on something truly special.
