I've had some great nights home and away in the Coca Cola / Worthington / Carling cup. I would have liked the run. Shame, the reduced tickets are out the window for another season. Oh how we are looked after for going since 9 years old.

You a Palace fan? Your name sounds like you're an Everton supporter.

I quite agree £20 for friendlies and 1st round cup matches is seriously taking the piss. This is reflected by the piss poor attendances.

Maggot i am a Palace fan through and through, have been going since i was a just a nipper. RaverDrew it's distressing how we look at 1st round cup matches as a rip off as this is our bargain. I used to be a season ticket holder but decided against it this year as moving into a house is rather expensive. Wanted to go to the Leeds game but i can't justify the price of a ticket. £40 in the main stand. For £10 more i've got 50 premiership games on sky.

 

[lights.out.london]

Same reason I don't go every game (home and away for years). Just can't justify the expense for non-event matches.

 

[Maggot]

Another defeat (2-0 to Southampton)


What's going wrong?

 

[passenger]

worrying but i don`t think we will play a much better team as

the soton on there day,if where not to carefull we might get into

a relagation dog fight this not looking good can`t see where the

goals will be comming from

Transcript of a telephone converation beteen Simon Jordan and Peter Taylor after Palace's 0-2 home defeat by Southampton (Sept 12).

Simon Jordan: Blimey, Peter, what a right load of ****ing horse manure that was this evening.

Peter Taylor: We're a side in transition, Simon, and we need time to gel into an efficient CCC team.

SJ: Well, I spent the past two seasons watching that pillock Dowie making the defence pump high balls to a midget. Now we're pumping high balls to two big b***ards who nod it down and lose it. What's the point in that, for ****'s sake?

PT: We need strong forwards in this division. We can't depend on aging player past his prime like Dougie, and Clinton I don't really rate in the first place.

SJ: Jesus ****ing Christ, you remind me of that w*nker Trevor Francis. He couldn't bleedin' wait to drop the best striking partnership in the division at the time, Dougie and Clinton, and bring in that pair of numpties Akinbiyi and Adebola. A useless pair of planks, and they cost me a ****ing fortune.

PT: Give it time, Simon. it's early days, yet.

SJ: Early ****ing days! We're seven games into the season and we look crap. Even when we were winning we didn't look much cop but now we're ****ing terrible. And this Sushi Pookey or whatever his name is. He don't look much like a Finn to me...not like Aki or Mikkel?

PT: Shefki Kuqi's an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo who's taken Finnish nationality.

SJ: He looks like an overgrown carpet salesmn from Istanbul to me and ****ing played like one tonight.***ing c***. Cost me a bleedin' fortune as well.

PT: We need players like him to get us out of this league and back to the Premiership, Simon.

SJ: I can't see much ****ing point getting back to the Premiership with this lot. Borrowdale or Granville against Thierry Henry. Kookoo the Turk against John Terry. Don't make me ****ing laugh.

PT: I told you at the interview, Simon, it will all change as the autumn moves on.

SJ: It's all changing now. We're going down the pan. You'd better wake your ideas up, Taylor. The money we got for AJ is running out and the team's getting worse. I'm telling you ****ing straight mate, you are out on your arse if things don't improve soonest. I ****ing......

(here the line fades with a stream of abuse from the chairman)

Pretty much agree with most of that.

I'd like to see Snowcroft and Morrisson playing together upfront, with Freedman dropping off the front two. Butterfield and Granville HAVE to be our first choice full backs, unlike last night.

Kuqi for 2.5m is shocking imo, he's barely worth half that. I fear it's money down the drain already, he is too similar to Snowcroft. We really needed another defender and a striker with more pace, to make a dent in the league this season. We should still challenge for the playoffs with our current squad, but with the money we have spent, we could have been contenders to win the league outright.

Firstly Selhurst Park isn't in Crystal Palace, it's a mile or so down the road.

Secondly: http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=163612
might be of use.

no just strange stuff built into the original design, palo would love it for a mission.
and as this says ^^^^ crystal palace is up the road abit from selhurst park, thats maybe closer to norwood?

 

[RaverDrew]

The ground is in South Norwood, Croydon is sort of the nearest nightlife, but I wouldn't exactly reccomend it.

As for the secrets of the palace. I've been lucky enough to experience them. Access is extremely difficult nowadays, but not impossible last time I checked.

 

[ice-is-forming]

my great grandfather helped to build all sorts of parts of it, its a family secret shhhh
