Now the away fans are next to the family stand where the families get some terrible abuse from certain visitors, scousers I remember being particularly nasty. It was a stupid decision and remains so Originally posted by Casual Agree, blocks A and B are loud as people moved there years ago to be next to the away fans. Although they start most of the songs , 90% of the noise comes from the few thousand behind them Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

How awful. Selhurst will be a morgue again. I remember what is was like before the HF. Atmosphere was dire. Constant stand up of you love palace in desperation to get get people to stand up and sing. I'm tough. I'm ambitious. I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, I'm OK with that.

Pragmatically meant the family end became less suitable for families, if your theory is correct, because of the HF who are noisy rather than trouble making from what I have seen.

So let me get this right 100 supporters dont like were they sit stand what ever, asked to be moved to the center so they can be center of attention, was told sorry no can do because season ticket holders in that section (many long term holders) enjoy watching the game from there, because FANS are not kissing there arses to move they act like 5 year olds, so sad they think more about there self's than the team, so maybe time was right to go and support a team that may put there feelings first over thousands of loyal fans, good luck with that one

Constant stand up of you love palace in desperation to get get people to stand up and sing. So true, any fan that says any differently obviously never went or is just outright lying. It was dire, 15k fans sat in silence with a chorus of eagles the odd occasion we got a corner. Won't notice as much because we sell out week in week out in the prem but our atmosphere of recent times is all down to the hf regardless if you like them or not. Still no fan should be asked to move seats just to accommodate them.

Good luck! I think it’s appalling. The HF (like it or not) are rather iconic for our club and standout as part of ‘our’ image. They are not known for trouble but working class, decent organic and a positive atmosphere. On balance it is a negative change. SParish is known for being a man who won’t be bullied or afraid of saying no. However, some decisions can be made to cut a nose off to spite a face...
