I also think as a general rule black and Asian people are not that keen on paying to watch football and would rather be playing.

As a black fan, i would say that the way to generate more fans from other ethnic groups is to start by appealing to kids. When i was in primary school my headteacher (palace fan) would often have 2 games a season where it was encouraged for the whole school to go with a parent for cheap prices, which was a great day out.
As you rightly point out this will naturally change as local pride has more influence.

most of the South London blacks i know support Arsenal. Shame cos they never get to win anything.

Oddly enough I've long been of the opinion that on balance our crowds are more diverse than a lot of other clubs, especially seeing as CPFC does not have the reputation of being glamorous or successful. Compare us to someone like Blackburn which has the biggest Asian community in the country based on % of population and is home to a club which has had sustained top level football, European qualification and of course a Premier League win, it's noticeable that there are virtually no Asian people at games. I often wonder too how much of a perception there is among black and asian communities that football grounds are still unsafe or threatening places to go. You'd like to think that's not the case.

You'd like to think that's not the case. i'd naively think that with current football attending aged generations, the race issue at the ground wouldnt be such an issue, especially at somewhere like Palace - the chances of being racially abused in SP is very low i'd guess. That said, why are there virtually no 'asian' fans at the likes of Bradford or Blackburn?? And, excuse my ignorance, but whats BME?
