If they put the tickets on sale to Matchday Members with at least 5 previous games, we'll probably find that this sells out instantly as that's been the case for both United and Arsenal in the league. The club need to start high with maybe 16 previous games, and gradually decrease it like they...

I personally think that due to the bad PR they got from the ticket criteria last year, they won't open it to all citizens straight away. I think your criteria is ideal, but they'll probably just require 5 games straight away. And it doesn't matter anyway, because I'm sure they'll sell...

Ah okay didn't realise, it does definitely say Sold Out on the website before you go into the planner. Either way it's selling out on 19k and my point still stands

Palace SOLD OUT 19k points. Sold out on 12k points last year, so that's a 7,000 point difference, something really isn't right

Yes it's definitely a culture thing, in the past few seasons we've played Real, Atletico, Barca and Sevilla and none of them have taken anything close to a full away end. Sevilla brought about 50. For a team that get 80,000 fans every home game and suposedly have the largest international...

According to that article, when we only gave Madrid the top tier in the 2nd Leg last season, that was in retaliation to them only giving us 1,800 allocation in the first leg?? Makes sense if it's true, I just didn't realise

For what it's worth, it was the exact same when we took 5,000 to St James Park in the league cup. We were far louder than them, and we were the ones singing about their shit support after 20 minutes. It's the exact same with any set of away fans in the cup

Exactly, but it will at least allow us a chance of competing with them in games like this. With the current set up, there's literally no set of fans in the country that could stand in SS1 and compete with away fans in both SS2 and SS3

In positive news, it seems that someone's had a word with that dickhead announcer as he seems to have stopped making it all about him

I think there's plenty of singers around the ground, who would potentially move to a new North Stand? I just have a hard time believing that we have 3k singers at every away game, 9k singing their hearts out at spurs earlier this season and 30k people singing at Wembley last year. However, at...

Not great tonight, but was never going to be. Newcastle were loud, but nothing special. Any team given 8000 away allocation would have made just as much noise as them. These games are the biggest giveaway that the North Stand should be a new home end. Unfortunately SS1 isn't able to compete in...

Update: Safe Standing now added to a few more rows of the SS3 away end. Only the 10 bottom rows remain without safe standing now

Just been doing a bit of investigation. In theory we should get 4k allocation as thats 5% of their capacity, however the rules don't apply to madrid so it'll be whatever they decide. Had a look at some photos, and napoli appear to have been given a much larger allocation than ours from last...

Worth noting that last year palace away, also on a Saturday, sold out at 12,000 points. If there's no new criteria and this sells out at 22,000 points that's a 10k increase in the amount of points required??? Somethings really not right here

I believe they're responsible for the 18-25 scheme being brought in, which has generally been seen as a positive thing and has certainly made away games more accessible for my lad. But your point absolutely still stands. To the club they're absolutely nothing more than just a box ticking...

There were well over 500 tourists there. It's hard to describe how much it dilutes the atmosphere to have a tourist or day tripper in every other seat. I'm someone who normally sings my heart out at away games, however I was by myself surrounded by tourists who laughed, exchanged looks, and...

I've asked this question many times, and I'll ask it again! What do the club gain from giving our away allocation to tourists and day trippers? I get that with home games, tourists will spend more in the club shop, buy a programme and have food in the ground, which is at least a genuine...

Interesting that none of the day trippers can seem to figure out the words to "Oh Kevin De Bruyne"

Really poor away end today, absolute tourist central. Interesting that it was full of people wearing half and half scarves, but when you look around into the home end there were barely any. Anfield was loud today, and it would've been great for our support to play a part, but unfortunately the...

They really don't. I was surrounded by tourists on Wednesday and by full time I was the only person left. Some leaving as early as 60 minutes.
