The atmosphere was poor on Saturday- obviously the performance for an hour didn’t help, but the positivity and noise that they bring really can raise the players’ performances, even by fine margins that can make all the difference at this level.
It’s impossible to quantify what a difference it has made in recent years, but I would suggest that the atmosphere has brought us more points.
If the HF are reading this thread then this is what they have to ask themselves: what’s more important, supporting the team they love, getting behind the team and carrying on regardless, or staying angry at the club, putting pride before anything else, and essentially cutting of their noses to spite their faces?
I have genuine concerns that without them the atmosphere will be detrimental to the performances, as opppsed to the boost that everyone gets when the atmosphere is good.

We will have to agree to disagree on this issue.

Certainly been divergent views on this subject but all part of the 'Rich tapestry' of discussion on such sites.

A few years ago, Steve Parish sent a letter to a group of season ticket holders in the Directors box, roughly 4 rows across the whole of that section, slightly in front of where he sits. The letter stated that all of those affected would need to move seats, "to accommodate the then four directors family and guests". there was no choice, no consultation other than help to find another suitable seat, and no discount for moving, other than maybe your new seat being cheaper, FACT I was one of them, one of the seats offered to me was in something like row z of the Homesdale, I am still in the Directors box, and to be honest in a better seat, Steve moved people when it suited him

Where its gone wrong is it seems to be an argument of us vs them and who's the better fan and why should he have my seat and I have to move just because I'm not in the hf.

I think the club has handled the situation poorly to be honest. It should have been made clear that block e would now be an all inclusive singing section that was open to all fans with the ambition of seeing it grow across the whole lower holmesdale. Not block e for the hf.

No one would kick off if they decided to move the away fans again and people had to move seats or the family stand or a new disabled area. I see no difference between them and a singing section

I'm with the club on this one.

Oh hang on....I'm with the club on most stuff....because you know...I support Crystal Palace...the football club.

If a club annoys you that much, just stop supporting it..or just start caring less about it.....these are businesses at the end of the day and a bit of perspective is required.
