I thought eligibility for away tickets was based on being a paid up member or a ST holder. I was at Norwich so presumably unless I transported in I bought a ticket. I am not so fickle as to consider not renewing either of my STs because of the current playing style. Each to their own * On the subject of clarity, a "couple " is generally deemed to be two .

Couple of points for clarity: 1. You earn loyalty points when you buy tickets for away games - so not sure if you have done this before - you should try it, its good fun. 2. Love supporting Palace away, where Roy has the team well set up and genuinely able to upset the bigger clubs - the best away days by far, Man City and Liverpool last year. 3. Loved watching Palace at home in the Championship where you need to get 3 points, rather than watching the football of Pulis, Warnock, Allardyce and Hodgson. Happy days. 4. Thought Derby knocked it about well on Sunday. Good job they had made 9 changes. If we had played their first XI we could have been in real trouble.

If we had played their first XI we could have been in real trouble. wasn't at the City or Liverpool games, but thoroughly enjpyed Leicester where we were absolutely lethal - 5 shots and 4 goals, whilst Leicester huffed and puffed playing pretty football. Next morning, of course, Puel was gone and Leicester having looked back since. Was also at the Wolves game where our style of play had the home side flummoxed. basically, they didn't turn up.

Actually I hope there is boycott by season ticket holders, I've been wanting to switch my seat to another part of the ground, with a boycott I might get the opportunity to do so.

It’s a strange one. I feel I attend out of habit rather than enjoyment these days. I go with my 2 sons. If they decided they no longer wanted to go I would not renew as the real reason for me attending is for family time. I prefer away games to home games and have done for a few seasons now.

I will no doubt renew my ST, as much out of habit as anything else. I can't say that I get a huge amount of pleasure watching us fumble through games with us rarely ever asserting much authority over the opposition - even the occasional home victory tends to see us hanging on by our finger nails. It is amazing how we have survived to compete in 7 seasons at the top and I would in no way belittle this achievement. But, like others, I am disappointed that we seem to go back to square one at the start of each season. Overall it doesn't feel as if we have progressed much as a club in that time.We still have a rickety old stadium, our player recruitment always seems to be somewhat haphazard,we have an ageing squad, and we have a youth set-up that has seen only three players graduate to 1st team level in 10 years ( and only one during this spell in the Premier League)

Some good posts (mostly) here on either side of the argument. We are punching and lucky to have someone with the experience and nous of Roy to keep us competitive with all the issues we currently have. My worry is, as a few have highlighted, we are in danger of leaving the top league at some point in the next few seasons (if not this one) with no legacy whatsoever having received not far off £1 Billion in revenue (just think about that for a second).

Can't see what will change the current trajectory either. Potential 2 loanees talked about today - one not good enough for Spurs, and the other previously declaring to the world that he did not want to play for Palace. Difficult to get excited about either. Would rather see Mitchell and Daly given a go. Not sure what Dougie is doing other than waiting for Roy to retire / be retired.

I will keep my ST's regardless of how we are playing or what division we are in. I enjoyed watching us in the lower leagues but prefer watching us play in the PL.

We have a threadbare squad , punching way above their weight, but we are still having our most successful time ever in the Premier League.
