I'm a Wdensday fan, I'm not here to be a keyboard warrior or anything like that.

I'm just wondering why there's a section of your fans that seem to think we don't like you, admittedly there are a few fans that I know of that seem to dislike you for obvious reasons, but personally I don't have a problem with Palace in the slightest. I actually have quite a large soft spot for you. A girl I know is going out with one of the HF lads and I've met him a couple of times and talk to him quite regularly and he really is a top lad.

I came down to Selhurst earlier on this season (It's a right tw@ to get to!) and thoroughly enjoyed the day, was a bit gutted about the result but you did deserve to win.

I was at the match on Saturday as well and I thought it was a very even game and there was never going to be more than one goal in it.

I was drinking in The Railway pub with a few Palace fans before the match and your lot were all very friendly and had a good bit of banter as well.

Finally, I wish you the best of luck in your quest for promotion. It would be nice to see you go up but I hope you don't go up because I want another away day at Selhurst :-D

Couple of questions for youse;
Did you come up?
Rate the ground /10?
Atmosphere from both teams /10?
Your watering hole of choice?
Will we stay up?
Will you go up?

Personally always like Wednesday as opposed to those knobs across the city.

I guess things are still raw from Survival Sunday and the pitch invasion. Aside from that incident all the Palace fans I know like your fans as you always have a good turn out and are pretty loud.

Didn't go this weekend, but I like Hillsborough 8/10, a proper football ground. We may go up via play offs if we sort out our away form, you will stay up

Thanks for the comments, Selhurst has 3 train stations all within 10 mins walking distance, its probably the fact everyone coming from the North has to trek over to Victoria or London Bridge to get a connection train?
I was there on Sat, we badly missed Wilf Zaha but I guess we have to get used to that now a draw would have been the fair result but Weds played well and stopped us playing our game, you wont go down playing the way you did, but who knows the form book means nout, will we go up? again who knows? being a Palace fan has been a roller coaster since I started going over 40 years ago so never confident!!

Anyway always liked Hillsborough older grouns have history and are better in ny opinion, nice 2 slices of Bacon and hamburger cheese burger for £3
But stadium 3'5 miles away from station!! and you say ours is hard to get too! lol

I don't mind palace to be fair. Much better club than tinpot Charlton and Brighton

We have no debt. As of June when the Zaha £10mil initial payment happens, I think we're break even. We made £5mil on the sales of Clyne, Ambrose and Scannell, and the Victor Moses sell-on clause. Zaha and all that lot cover 3 years of losses from June 2010-2013.

We have problems with not going up in Jedinak being out of contract. Also, Garvan and Moritz are out of contract and Murray & Bolasie will attract interest. Jonny Williams is the next valuable player we'd like to keep for a couple of seasons to help our promotion pushes.

The club is in good hands, but in a run down stadium. That is our problem.

It's probably a few £mil but not a lot more than that come June. The problem we have, as plenty of other clubs have until FFP comes in and is properly applied and not dabbled in, is losing £5mil per season.

That and an outdated ground in an industry where only Prem football pays for it, otherwise it's a benefactor sport, personal ruin for the owners, or ruin for the club.

You may not know the answer, but why does that Sainburys close for a couple hours on matchdays?
