It seemed to be previous but everyone had waited half an hour for that train, it would’ve been easy for the two sets of people to just avoid each other, someone somewhere was looking for it.

Also the amount of cocaine done at football is a joke. It’s not even hidden any more, I can’t even understand why you need it, is Palace not exciting enough as it is without needing to be charged up out of your head?

This needs to be nipped in the bud. Found it really sad to see it yesterday, I never ever had Palace down as that kind of club. We’re a family club. Open, welcoming and passionate. We are not Millwall.

This has happened ever since all seater stadia were introduced - happened to us loads of times over the years - wouldn't have anyway of knowing whether any of them were HF - many of them wouldn't even have been born in the 1990s anyway

Unfortunately the club have encouraged this behaviour by giving them an elevated status amongst supporters.

Who - the racist twats that come out of the woodwork at away games? The pissed old blokes who like goading away supporters? The ones who go all the way to some northern town and sing *** is a ****hole I want to go home? The sad old gits who think it's funny singing 'get your tits out for the lads' at young girls?

Or maybe you're just talking about the group of young fans who got together to try and make the atmosphere at games a bit better.

The other time was a midweek game away at old Trafford and they had not sold the allocation so the wankers had roped off an area and not told anyone that seats were no longer allocated and my 8 month pregnant sister got in an argument about seats with two pissed up blokes, my mates ex bird was there flashed her warrant card and it sorted it out.

One was the HF at Brighton. Just didn’t want to get into confrontation with them. Fortunately they left a large trance of seats at the back with a better view so went there.

Away games should be unreserved seating in my opinion but know the logistics would be hard when all games sold out.
Does seem if anything happens with any fans under the age of 35 it gets branded as HF.
Bet they're glad they was on a coach yesterday so can't be blamed for this latest one but no doubt some will still try.

So in the last 37 years of following Palace away these are the only two times you've seen twattish behaviour from Palace fans? :rolleyes:

Can see why it's now a ex! Imagine a little argument and feeling the need to pull out a police I.D. grim. Hope she's no longer on the force. Lucky escape!

Yeah it was nothing to do with the HF. I’ve never seen a few of these people before. Seemed like complete twats.

Lucky escape for another reason, that aside when two pissed blokes are arguing and pushed a heavily pregnant girl what do you think an off duty copper should do ?
