Last few seasons home form has been appalling…I pay £100 per month for 3 season tickets, hardly any wins, hardly any goals. Footballers paid thousands of pounds per week seemingly unable to string two passes together or even put in a decent corner or free kick…Roy doesn’t seem to understand when a change needs to be made (what was it that Einstein said about repeating the same task and expecting a different outcome?). Promises of a new stand but still no news…has Khan has even looked at it... tekkers has cost us a fortune, his ROI is shocking… PVA is pony, we melted against Brighton and Watford…would Jim Cannon, Andy Gray or Michael Hughes taken a card to flatten Delafuso after his tackle on Luka…I think they would…Schluppy looking like a scared rabbit in the headlights talking to Deeney just after that tackle…What has happened to us? Reading these posts and it seems like lots of people feel the same…I can’t wait for this season to be over...used to look forward to going to Selhurst….walk home now with a face like a smacked bottom most of the time trying to explain to the kids why we can’t win at home….out of 11 of us 5 can no longer take it and are not renewing their season tickets….our fans used to be classed as the 12th man but now we’re to blame for the poor home form cos the players can’t handle our expectations, really? Appreciate Steve P and the guys saved us….but enough is enough when are they going to wake up and kick these players up the back side and get them earning their money…these players owe us fans big time over the last few home games…hopefully we’ll stay up….still need to decide on renewing season tickets though…or is this poor home form over the last few seasons bad enough to throw the towel in?

£100 a month ffs. What's that per victory? Fair play to all season ticket holders, proper fans. Wish they'd at least keep the lager chilled to repay such loyal support...

Been thinking much the same. £117 a month for me and two sons, travelling from Swindon each match with approx 5 hours round trip ...for what? Wins v Leicester, Burnley and Fulham! Thank goodness we went the Grimsby and Spurs cup matches!

How exactly do the owners kick the players up the backside? I share your frustration but what do you actually want to happen? Once a player is on contract the club is powerless if they are useless, out of form or just lost interest. They can sit and collect their money, this is the modern game Edited by HKOwen (26 Mar 2019 11.19pm)
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. |

Anyone empathising with this must surely have top 6 glamour club in their DNA and somehow got caught up in supporting palace in the fog of premiere league potential. I suggest supporting one of the norf london footie outfits or for true home win security, go even further north to Manchester. If the lack of palace winning at home after 6 seasons in top flight football is really a problem then selhurst definitely ain't for you. Don't fight your instincts..
catford kid, caught up supporting "team of the 80s" in the 70s.. |

To be honest I'd just settle for seeing the odd goal. If we drew 1-1, 2-2 or lost 1-2 or 2-3 then at least we've scored and had that buzz. At least we had wrighty in the second division scoring for us. The kids are the future of the club (as you were once Terry)...they need to see goals and have the feeling, the last few season have been a hard slog. The kids are still palace through and through, but the likes of Wolves, Watford and Bournemouth are showing us up. The thing those teams have in common are young hungry managers...

Ive seen all our promotions and relegations for 40 years.

I used to fly in from Spain for virtually every home game and fly back out if the times worked out the same day or do a stayover for 1 night. Got to be honest and say I don't bother with home games now unless I happen to be in London.The buzz that I used to get has gone,maybe its the football, maybe its me but I know its quite depressing watching us at home now,its not even about the winning ( not that we do much of that) losing is never fine but at least show some pride and passion and go down fighting. I now fly in for most away games,go with the lads,have a great day out ,sometimes flying direct to Manchester/Liverpool/Newcastle if we are up north and meet the lads up there. Will be flying back for Spuds and Toon then not back until Cardiff and last home game of the season(cant be arsed about Arsenal ). I have a home and away season ticket. Haven't made up my mind about what I'm doing for next season. Dunno what its costing me per season,never worked it out. I know I don't tell the Mrs how much i'm spending every time I fly in...she would want a new outfit every week.
