Hope Brighton win. Very friendly fans, been through a lot and a club trying to do things well at their new stadium. In terms of ideas and making supporters (even away ones) welcome I thought they did a good job and maybe something that could be learned from? Suspect almost all of South London will be hoping for a Brighton win.
How friendly are we talking here? Anything you're not telling us?
The following conditions of sale have been agreed by the two clubs, the Metropolitan Police and Sussex Police: 1. You must be a season ticket holder to purchase a ticket and only one ticket will be available per season ticket holder. 2. Your details and seat number will be made available to Crystal Palace FC, the Metropolitan Police and Sussex Police. 3. The ticket may only be used by the purchaser. 4. All away fans must carry a separate document which confirms their identity. 5. You agree to hand over your ticket and identity document for examination by a police officer or steward at the stadium or en route to or from the stadium. 6. Failure to produce the ticket and an identity document for examination will result in refusal of entry to the match and any future matches this season. 7. There will be a one year exclusion for anyone who is found to have handed over or sold a ticket to any other person. 8. There will be a one year exclusion for anyone who is found in possession of a ticket issued to another person.
That is f'n ridiculous. If deemed a 'success', they'll do it for a league fixture. Then there will be a knock on effect on other matches around the country. Anyone thinking 'oh but if you're not a trouble maker it won't matter' is missing the point.
What's wrong with this? Pretty standard isn't it?
I could be wrong but when has this been done before in this country? It's not Ajax v Feyenoord and it's a step beyond the picking up tickets at a service station or a bubble trip.
It also worries me where it might or might not stop. Does singing outside the ground count as being aggressive? Does slurring your words after a couple of pints mean you won't get in? Would that then mean a ban? Given the complete screw up after our game against Palace, the police could well take the easy option and enforce it for our visit next season if there's no trouble or vandalism.
> Brighton stay in Champs and we get to visit their stadium again (purely selfish reason) > Holloway's mob get beaten 5-0 in the final or lose to a last minute goal that deflects in off the referee who is then exposed in the media as an Eaglist

Oh well, something to prepare for our trip to Sainsburys next season then.
Come on you seagulls ;-) used to go to goldstone when charlton was playing away ( that's if we couldn't get to the away game) watched jonny robinson before we signed him :-) my dad used to if we ever sell Robert lee we should get him! Anyway go brighton :-)
As my wife and 2 young sons are all season ticket holders then I feel compelled to want Brighton to win regardless of who they are playing. But it's even more important as it's the Nigel's they are playing. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that Leicester will win the final though but I haven't told my family that.
Is there anything their supporters do that isn't really, really embarrassing. I nearly pressed stop on that video twice in the space of a minute simply because I was cringing so hard.
I shall be watching the 1st leg from a bar in Hemsby, shouting and swearing and completely baffling the gathered rockabillys and rockers at a weekender.

Any injury will only affect Man United not Palace.
i just watched it again. Funniest thing i have seen for ages. If It was meant to be Funny it wouldn't be as hilarious.
There are only 2 forms of widely accepted adult photo identity - passport and driving licence.
Neither of which is compulsory to have.
If you don't have one - you can't go to this game, no matter how well behaved you are.
Welcome to the police state everyone.
