... that is was predominantly for safe standing. Wonder where all the bandwagoners targetting a group of our own fans are now? On a slightly more positive note, I hope that the fact clubs are pushing for safe standing means that we will get it soon. A lot of us stand anyways, and a lot of the grounds in England desperately need something to help the sterile atmospheres.

And a singing area . Really? All the noisy people stand together, always have. Back of the holmesdale , middle of the Arthur (when it was standing), now the corner of the Holmesdale. Don’t need the club to organise it, they should concentrate on a striker, goalkeeper and stopping the water p**sing in through the air conditioning unit in the red and blue bar and maybe Bar staff that can speak English.

I agree with that Casual, and you would think if there was any safe standing, you would assume that anyone who would be more vocal would stand there anyways. I feel as if the whole confusion was massively caused by the club's own drawbacks.

Worth exploring and pushing for I suppose.

More likely that the plan was to move the HF to the middle but the protests from those already holdings STs in that area was too strong. I know 8 blokes who threatened not to renew if this happened. I think the safe standing attempt is just a PR way of covering this up. Anyway the good news is my drinking partners will be around next season!
I am enjoying being back at Selhurst and having a beer with my mates just like we have done for the past 40 years. Through Thick and thin we stick with our club. Not chairman, players or managers, OUR CLUB! |

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

All good. Nothing bad. |

Safe standing would of been pursued by the PL announced and a change of legislation required for this to happen , which it clearly would not before the start of next season. Not just by palace bunging in a few rails and hoping the PL and government wouldn’t notice.. ffs. Complete smokescreen...

The best time for Palace to make any “singing” or “safe standing “ changes will be if and when the “new” stand is built.
Palace 13th 2017/18. |

Plenty of people of Twitter, and a couple here, were pretty much calling for their heads. Not to mention the obscenities aimed in their direction... things you'd expect from rival fans, i.e. w***ers, kids, virgins etc. Don't get me wrong, I find some of the stuff they do a bit cringey, but Christ, seeing the reaction to this as soon at it came out was downright embarrassing - the amount of people who will blame a portion of our fans at a moment's notice, is frankly disgraceful. Similar to the bellends who will also call some of our fans 'nigels'.
