I bet you burst little kids footballs when they land on your rhododendrons. Now I would suggest in the interest of the thread that you either debate properly and come up with a hitherto unmentioned pearl of wisdom in favour of cancelling the singing section, or just get used used to the idea that it will happen and some people will have to be relocated. Why it's such a big deal I don't know. Just as an aside there is more pages on this "issue" than there is on a much more serious issue of Grooming Gangs, which speaks absolute volumes to me, in that this is a very "self interest at heart" thread, and not necessarily what is best for the club, which surely should be paramount ? I await with bated breath your pearls of wisdom that will show how I have lost the argument, or alternatively (and more likely) await for you to show that you are the grumpy old git I believe you to be, whose moral outrage is based purely from a self interested view point rather than what would be best for the club. I have put forward valid arguments, (which are deliberately ignored), in support of those Palace supporters who are being forced to to move,to accommodate a set of fans who had perfectly good seats but voluntarily gave them up,and it is simply not fair. I have no objection to a "singing section",but these things evovle naturally, manufacturing such an area is wrong,the HF decided to sit in block B in the first place.I bet if the away fans area was put back towards the Holmesdale end the HF would then want move back again. To be honest I couldn't care less about the HF,or whether they reform or not,but they shouldn't be regarded as superior to other Palace fans,and shouldn't expect,or be given special treatment. Finally all the childish references about bursting kids balloons,and calling people grumpy old gits,is just pathetic. And what the heck have discussions about grooming gangs go to do with a debate on a football website. PS neither do I sit in block E.

Originally posted by A89M And to add to this, a quote from RLC about our atmosphere. Speaking to Football.London about the affection shown to him, Loftus-Cheek said: "It was a really good reception from the Palace fans and when I was there, it was great. "The fans were great and it is one of the best atmospheres I have played in front of, so to hear them sing my name was a warming feeling." Meaning they likely do prefer to play in front of singing fans, rather than quiet. Oh so it was only the HF singing RLC name. Right, I got it now.

He has said that RLC’s comments suggest that players like to play in stadiums with atmospheres. The point being that the SP atmosphere has suffered since the HF have gone.

Just to confirm, there's only one group of people who have got rid of "the clubs famous atmosphere". Nobody seems to be able to clarify why the HF have to move from Block B. Signing section - tick Improves atmosphere - tick Gets good TV coverage - tick Mentioned regularly by commentators - tick Existing ST holders sit in this area - tick Don't have to move long term ST holders from the seats they've had for years to various other parts of the ground, where there is no guarantee the can sit next to family or friends - tick Why not just reserve 400 seats in Block B for HF? Cant wait for these HF to get 'removed' from Block E in a few years time when they're too old or too pissed off with the Club to continue singing in this section.
