Why can’t you see the double standards before you spout such stuff?

| This will more likely have a knock effect for the rest of us, with offering half price season tickets to the ones that have to move will give the club an excuse to raise there prices for the rest of us...

| Very embarrassing our staged singing section led by the HF. If one or two of our players could hit a cows arse with a banjo the discussion wouldn't be happening. What a cringeworthy and plastic episode.

Maybe, for either or both of the following, it may not be considered suitable by them for their purposes: - the seating offered is at the rear of Block E, not right behind the goal (flags will be hard to see, low visibility for the TV cameras, not able to so easily intimidate opposition players, etc), and - it has been stated by the club that this will be a seated area - now the club may have got away with permitting standing in a corner area where no one else is affected, but it could be a whole different ball game to have a central section standing at the back, with the possibility of non-participants at the front being endangered by a surge from those standing. I suppose that we will have to wait and see if this measures up to their wants and needs so they will consent to return to this new section, or, I suppose, off the merry-go-round will go again.

| What a state of affairs!!! I should celebrate 50 years of following Palace next year but I am not sure I will be there. Price increases, $hit football, there was a better matchday atmosphere at Croatia v England last night! Now some of us are herded around like cattle. My sympathies to you all. What next?

Have to agree, it's 47 years for me thid year and I've never known anything like this season. Never thought I'd see the day palace fans would abuse each other like they are at the moment, and the club on and off the pitch seems to be in complete disarray. I can see this singing section thing really blowing up when/if it starts with fan fighting fan. Not sure I want to come and watch that next season.

Quite and Steve Parish is a fool to even contemplate it. He should tell the HF it's Block B or nothing.

| What happens when the 16 rows of people say we want to stay in our seats and sing, do we move down to the next 16 rows and so on, and who dictates who is allowed into the singing section ??
