HF Appreciation...
I know the HF divide opinions. There have been some bad experiences from the move across lower holmesdale and other isolated incidents that people are very quick to talk online about...I hope this thread could encourage a bit of positivity around the group - and wanted to start with a recent experience I had.
I dont see a huge amount of good press for the group. Btw I would not count myself as a HF so this isnt too biased a post I hope anyway. My son and I had season tickets in the area both in Block B and Block E. I have seen the best and the worst of palace fans over the years trust me, not just in with these lads... I used to have a few quid. And every christmas I gave up my season tickets for free for someone that needed them - as well as paying for a kit for a young fan too each year. Now the tables have somewhat turned...These last couple years have ruined us financially. Proper country n western song sh*t, lost the house, business, cars and nearly my marriage too with all the stress....After asking my eldest boy what he wants for christmas he just said "All i want dad is to go watch palace again like we used to..." ![]() ![]() ![]() (Needless to say my 12yo son and I cannot get to watch palace at all anymore as its definitely a "luxury"...) So I reached out to the HF group on Facebook, knowing the "Twenty is plenty" campaign is adhered to among the group - this was my only way of justifying taking my boy back to selhurst again. As the club would want membership fees, tickets plus food then travel and IMAGINE I wanted to actually buy the kid a kit too?? Honestly all-in would have cost me min £150- £250 to take him to one match! WTF has happened to our club??? So the only way was to get a couple of tickets for £40 and drive up from woking! Not only did the offers for games come flying in, none of them wanted any money and all offered such kind words of support too. Karma is a funny thing isnt it?

Great positive Karma. And no doubt, with your entrepreneurial experience you will rise again, I hope this wont be the end of the story.

There have been occasions when I have been out of the country and not been able to use the season ticket (I don't have one at the moment) and as I live a fair way from the ground there isn't always a local taker even for free. I would have loved to have handed my ticket for a game to those Palace fans in need for the odd match. I don't think there is a mechanism is there?

Nice to hear a good news story amongst all the negativity lately. I'm an E400 so have mixed feelings about the HF especially given recent events but glad given how much the media focus on them that they still embody what I view as core Palace values.

I wonder if they turn up at Millwall?

I hope they do but perhaps not for the reason you're suggesting. This is the element that can **** off out of our club.
