Any neutral watching the Arsenal game yesterday needs no telling of the (away) Palace fans' support - simply put, it is vociferous and passionate.

But, given our lauded reputation, our homes games are decidedly quiet. Perhaps it depends on where you are seated (I am on the Arthur Wait), but the only unanimity seems to be before and after a game (depending on the result, of course). I exclude The Holmesdale Fanatics because they are in a league of their own. I am aware that we carry many 'plastics'/fickle supporters, but should it make much of a difference?

I feel that our away support has earned us our reputation and that our home lets it down. Does anyone else agree?

No!

Away supporters are always more vociferous as they are usually the more committed, collected together in a small area and have often travelled great distances at great expense and want to fully enjoy the cameraderie, beer and day out.

Lot of attention drawn to fans at Emirates (possibly by some relatively inexperienced away supporters who made the short trip across London, but wouldn't make it further afield).

But if you have travelled extensively, you will know that home supporters are notoriously quiet and that in comparison to others, the Palace home support is amazing!

Away support always outsings the Home support. (Except when they come to selhurst)

Away support is always better. It is the bulldog spirit, and the fact the all the supporters are together in a relatively small area.

Think it's varied a bit; I was in the Arthur Wait for both the Sunderland and Newcastle games and the Sunderland one was louder all the way through, with loads more people in the Arthur singing.

Yes, away support tends to be better of course. Tighter group of more hardcore fans.

But it does feel like - at home - we have underachieved as supporters for most of the season. On the other hand a few times when we have just scored it has been absolutely amazing.

To be honest we haven't really had much to roar about. If we had played some great expansive football and scored a few goals it would have been different. I reckon it's going to improve because I am convinced Ince and Ledley are going to give us the spark on the field that will spark the supporters off the field. We are all geared up for it and waiting for our chance.
