[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

[eaglesdan]

Not posted for a while, but still been reading regularly. I grudgingly have to agree with loz that I am jealous of what you achieved last season, and the European adventure. Boy was I hoping for a couple of Eastern European trips, instead you got Ajax, Marseilles and Athens.
I term Palace Brighton as a rivalry, and of course I have getting beat by your lot, but I find it much more funny seeing Chavski and Manure struggling, and both of us winning at the theatre of nightmares is brilliant.
I will say I did have a chuckle at the Villa result on Saturday, but I doubt it will be more than a blip, especially as you have the bin-dippers to look forward to at the weekend

There is nothing more edifying than seeing a Chelsea defeat at present. Feel free to wipe the floor with them on Boxing Day

I can’t win can I . post and I get stick , don’t post and the same thing happens .

"You only post when you're winning
Post when you're wiiiiii-nnnning"

I think you'll find THAT is the problem.

Is that the bin dippers that put 7 (seven) past you at Selhurst a couple of years ago?

We all have the occasional bad day.

I would have saved that retort until after we have played on Sunday, thanks for tempting fate.
As we have seen, when we have an off day, we have an off day in style.

And 9 (nine) not so long ago...

33 years ago !!…….if your my age it seems like last month but in reality, I have had 3 children since then and now have 3 grandkids

Yeah, but still 9 loz. (nine)

 

[Sheebo]

Yeah, done that . Then you get posters like the one above being abusive and others calling for a ban. If I’m being honest I’m seriously thinking of not coming on here again.

Fair play. All the best mate.

As others have no doubt said, you completely disappear when we're winning and you're losing, and then you predictably appear as soon as results go your way. It's pathetic. Other Palace fans here post whether times are good or bad, so they get more respect than you.

I wonder how many Palace fans will see the game tonight and feel a little jealous?

Crikey our Croydon cousins have thirteen first team squad players injured, bet they're glad to see the international break

You know that new stand that was started 2-3 years ago? They're building another now. The fenced ring will need to be expanded 50% though it seems.

Palace's new Main Stand: Residents relocated, contractor hunt starts, costs spiral

The long-awaited redevelopment of Selhurst Park has taken a huge step forward. A new 13,500 Main Stand could be ready for the 2026-27 season

Kind of hoping this isn't more bullshit as it will break them, more likely relegation if the don't spunk all the cash on players wages year after year after year

Palace are going to sue them for that article: "The start of work to build a new 13,500-capacity Main Stand and improve other areas of the ground, which celebrates its 100th anniversary next year"

The club is 162 years old - didn't they get the memo?

It's funny because they're not going to celebrate their own 100th anniversary

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

How many main stands can that ground have? Have they ring fenced the ring fence?

Aren’t they saying it’s the grounds 100th anniversary not the clubs?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Claiming £20-£30m, additional revenue, will be generated every season.

From an additional 7,500 capacity?
That's £200 per seat, per match

At Palace?

Good old Parish......
Never disappoints with his bullshit.

Even if this is achieved, the best they can hope for, is half a decent level transfer, per season from it.
And that's assuming they aren't funding the build (Currently estimated at £150m) from the increased revenue.
Why does anyone think it's worth doing?

Corporate I guess? Though I agree, based on albion revenue being very similar to Palace (difference due to capacity) it seems highly unlikely they'll see that sort of increase. Unless they're very good at something we aren't?

An Arsenal mate of mine who goes to the odd match at the Emirates, told me that when he does get a ticket approx £120, they make a day of it and book a meal at the ground and a few pints before and after the game, he seems to think it a £250 to £300 day !!!

So £200 per corporate seat at any premier club is probably not too far wrong ?
