Also, Casino is right, loads mocking the mentality of 'creating' the ultras. Personally as Palace is my nearest club, and knowing where they pull from, not sure we could do the same at Bolton for loads of reasons.

Personally as Palace is my nearest club, and knowing where they pull from, not sure we could do the same at Bolton for loads of reasons. I think the Holmesdale lot are fairly unique in terms of an English ultras group now, that sets them apart from the kind of hipster type groups you see popping up in Southern non-league at places like Lewes, Enfield, Eastbourne etc. They've got a fair few years' history of activity behind them and have long standing partnerships with some of what people over here would call "proper" ultra groups at clubs around Europe. Gone well past being a naff sideshow now for me, I don't think it would take off at every club and I wouldn't want it to, but it's unique and interesting to see/hear.

Ballsy appointment given their last high profile dabble I was convinced Palace would finish rock bottom under Vieira Fair play and all that As for 4th place the Spurs v Arse game is massive now There still might be time for Chelsea to blow it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjhb Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Palace needed a rebuild and they've recruited well so far. Quite a lot to like about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look excellent. Arsenal are feeling the pressure, I’ll tip Spurs purely because Kane loves a NLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Palace are certainly on the up, which is good to see round here, also good to see local kids in Palace and Millwall shirts rather than Chelsea or Arsenal. There was a good piece recently about South London being the new hotbed of English football talent as well and why its happening. The fans always come across as decent, think it's because the bigger London clubs take the piss or ignore them as their rivialry is with Brighton, and a bit like Bolton, it's close to a city but feels separate from it.

The atmosphere they create is amazing. All done without chucking stuff too. My only issue is the "Ultras" label. It's up there with the "Barmy Army" in the cringey stakes.

That's why they always congregated in that corner. I had a look at their ground plan, and as Zico says, they're apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember sitting direclty next to that end way back when Arnie scored in the last min. Theyve obviously shuffled the away end down stream. Always said they fucked it up when we moved. They promoted the east lower as the new burnden paddock. They should've gone down the Kop route and got all the vocal support packed in one end. As ever it will be like a home game for Sheff Weds on sat. They should be diluted down a side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
