No decisions have been made about what will happen next season so pointless posters asking me questions i cannot answer. Please treat this as an info only post. It was a listening exercise by the club with Ben Kensell firstly admitting that they got it badly wrong and gave a genuine apology for the situation we are currently in. A lack of consultation and no advance warning of the intention to change the old system was a big mistake. The timing of the launch within a few hours of it being announced resulted in fans being pressured into buying a product they knew nothing about. Any data relating to purchase history for this current season will not be used in the future because of the flaws currently being experienced. Purchase history will be taken from 2018/19 and a period before not currently specified but maybe say 3 seasons. There were about 100 people present and by the layout of the room taking into consideration you had to ' book ' your attendance it was obvious quite a number failed to show up for whatever reason. My impression was that some form of points system will make a comeback next season as that wish was expressed by a large majority of the room. The timing of sales at 9am on a working day Kensell admitted was under scrutiny as it was not practical for many to access the internet or pay a visit to the ticket office in person. Leeds Utd start sales at 6.30pm and that may be a way forward he said. There was a consensus from those in attendance that the silky scarves and membership packs were a waste of money and a pointless exercise in goodwill for joining the current scheme. Further meetings will take place in the next few months and an announcement for the 2020/2021 season will be made next February. Fair play to to the club for listening albeit after the horse has bolted the stable and personally i am amazed that the current scheme got from an office desk of somebody tasked with dreaming it up to getting rubber stamped in the boardroom without alarm bells ringing along the chain of command that it was wrong on so many levels.

The issue doesn't necessarily come from not getting tickets, but the fact that lots of people have paid £50 to not get tickets.

Right then, I've split the tenner over a lot of markets here (lots of work- sorry Eddie) and I've tried to incorporate most of the selections (either exactly or something similar) as well as adding some myself: £1 on the score draw £1 on over 2.5 goals £1 on Benteke anytime scorer £1 on Buendia anytime scorer £1 on Pukki anytime scorer 50p on Godfrey anytime scorer 50p on van Aanholt anytime scorer 50p on HT-FT Palace-Draw 50p on HT-FT Norwich-draw 50p on Norwich 1-0 50p on Norwich 2-1 50p on Norwich 2-0 50p on no goalscorer 50p on less than six corners 50p Amadou first player booked

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've chosen from the picks on here which all look good so...... Home wins for - Chelsea v Brighton Ajax v Gronigen Dortmund v Werder Bremen Benfica v Setubal Peterborough v AFC Wimbledon Juventus v Spal Good luck to everyone, especially Wacky and of course the team tomorrow. OTBC

We’re back to Vulcan mind-meld mode again then Purple! 😆

I'm not so sure: I think 'scrimmage' might stump a few...

Tbh most of the key injuries are match/contact related - Trybull, Klose, Zim and Aarons for sure - and nothing to do with training. Onel was weird bad luck, A’s was Krul (back spasms can happen anytime). The others are a mixture but you’ll always get a few odd strains and suchlike in training

Most English speakers will know all the words to OTBC, putting them in the right order is the tricky bit. 😉 (I take my hat...)

And Fährmann is still doubtful. This is why we kept on McGovern, for those who complained it was a waste of our wage budget.

That's a very generous offer esagent. ( turns out the ticket is smack in the middle of the Eagle Ultras and he can watch the carnage while munching on his prawn sandwiches from the safety of his executive box. 🙂😉 )

I am a Palace season ticket holder and occasionally take my son when the chap next to my seat can't go. So i buy a ticket on Twickets and put my son next to me. I did this but i have since been invited by a friend to a box. My Norwich friend is away in Dublin so instead of binning i thought of checking your forum. So it's an E-TIcket If the Heck guy doesn't make contact someone else can have it.

As first posts go this has to be a winner! Kudos esagent.

Sorry to bring this up again.. STADIUM EXPANSION...NEW GROUND ANYONE??? I am sorry , but this has shown we need some more seats in the ground...we could fill a 35 k stadium for sure... (rant over)

Vinnie knows a fair bit about the Chase times. But it's like he heard it second hand and there's a bias in his posts. If you confront him with facts he normally backs away a little. Anyway, he's entertaining, more so when things aren't going well and some of his critics turn into followers..... Long live freedom to post and reply🙃

Alex sorry to agree that Lapps is right as a lot of the tosh Vince he has posted over the years does show a very good knowledge of what went on especially during the Chase era.

I have to disagree Alex, Vinnie knows far too much in detail about our club going back many years, much more than any binner would. I can never decide whether he looks back with blinkered eyes and convinces himself that nobody will ever achieve success in the way Chase did, or simply, he's just a massive wind-up merchant. Either way, he's definitely not a binner.

For sure. Shall we pay for it with increased ticket prices? Or charge more for membership? Or not have such a good football team (but then we wouldn't need it). 12 months ago we couldn't sell out, even season tickets were freely available to buy... I'd love an increased capacity but not sure anyone wants to pay for it..
