I was there!!! No.1 palace fan me!!

How terribly sad. Many condolences.

You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.

With this kind of attitude, CPFC doesn't need 'fans' of this type. By this type I mean those that deem themselves 'superior' to others.

People are free to choose which games they go to and in doing so are just as valuable to the club support.

The small group of 'fans' who constantly rant on about how 'loyal they are compared to everyone else should be ignored. The club will not even notice them anyway.

Didn't go, nor was I able to make Stockport a few years earlier. Feel so dirty now.
Did make Wrexham 1977 and the reserve game the following week when Wrexham had their last game against Mansfield and we needed them to lose to get up to division 2. Made all the playoff games and finals FA Cups and semi finals and about 1,000 meaningless games played in front of 14,000 and down over 45 years and I'm an amateur compared to loads of others on here.
New fans are what keep this club going so who cares if some have only tagged on because of prem status or they like bouncing up and down. With any luck another 20,000 will come along in the next 3/4 years because that will mean we are doing well on the pitch.
Viva La Plastics.............

That's Life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a Dream.
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

Think I must be a plastic now .... Grew up in Sydenham and season ticket holder for many years. 5 of us went to Selhurst for so many years Since 1970 All in fifties now and all scattered around the country but Will try to make a couple of games a year. Listened to some t*** in the back of the Whitehorse end at the Villa FA cup games couple of years back asking where all these new fans had come from as they were not here last week. Cnut. Some of us have followed our club for 40, 50 , 60 years and my dad was a STH for 20 years . Bigger games inevitably bring some fans together as the bond of being a PALACE supporter means that we will invariably link up and give our support. That is why we had no trouble filling SP ( that's Selhurst not Steve) on many occasions . My favourite player s Birchenall and Cannon. Had the privilege of playing for the SE counties Div 2 team for Palace . Oh , and having lost my collection of shirts in house fire , I only have built back up to sixty in my collection. Missus knows where I will be during any palace game. So forgive me if I can not make many games nowadays . If that makes me a plastic for not making the SW game then so be it 1990 cup final. ZDS vs Everton All Play off finals Any friendlies in travelling distance. PALACE. PLASTIC and PROUD. Anyone giving their support to our club in whatever capacity should be welcomed and not judged on the basis of their previous.
Finally. I took my ten year old daughter to the play off final last year for her very first game She has asked me to apologise for not attending the SW game as she had an important test in school the following day. Every one will be pleased that she passed. Successful ly. Unlike KG and Jedi on many occasions this year !!!! Up the Palace !!

God, it makes me so angry....I am gonna find a little bloke... I'm gonna have a fight!

I don't think being at Sheffield Wednesday even makes someone qualified as a "non-plastic" as that was one of the biggest games in our history. I went Hull away mid week last season with work the next day when we drew 0-0.. Doesn't make me a bigger palace fan then anyone else. I for one do not like the plastic fans coming in just because we are in the premiership as I personally think they would've supported Arsenal last season and that's not what football is about (I had a fan telling me to shut the f*** up because I was "too loud" in arthur W at the Norwich game!?). Having said that, the criteria of some fans "what makes you a hardcore fan" is ridiculous. For example, I only registered on holmesdale earlier this year and on more than one occasion this season have been labelled a "plastic" due to not signing upto a message board? That's so ridiculous it makes me laugh.

Moving onto the point I was originally making - going to one of the biggest matches in the clubs history does not make you an anymore loyal fan then anyone else - if anything, some would argue it's the complete opposite!

But what do I really know, I didn't go to that game and quite clearly do not support crystal palace, what am I even doing here?

We're the Arthur over ere!
