jon francis 0 Posted March 30, 2004 Just wondering we have big away games coming up at Burnley and Reading beforehand not sold out but everyone wants to go to watford? Is it because people feel this is the day we win promotion or just because it is local? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy 733 Posted March 30, 2004 Yes I think people have worked out that Watford could be the one where we clinch promotion but also it was the ground where we clinched the championship in 1972 for our first ever promotion to the then first division. I think there is a sense od destiny about the fixture. If you are not as lod as me and dont remember it ask your older friends and relatives. They will tell you what a wonderful day out it was and how we took the Rookery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capital Canary 0 Posted March 30, 2004 HiWell, I want to go to this game as it is near to me (South London) and as I play saturday football anyway, I have this weekend off! Promotion or no-Promotion! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dirty Lyle 0 Posted March 30, 2004 Good point made by this thread.According to the website we have only sold half the tickets for the Burnley game which, after the huge number of fans at Palace is disappointing.I realise that there is a long journey involved and some can''t make it every weekend but we are on the cusp of something great here and imagined it would be tough getting tickets for any game. After the problems some have had getting tickets for Watford am I the only one who is concerned when the London games sell out first and the northern games struggle to do likewise.I am not saying those posting here won''t be travelling to Burnley as well but for me there is no difference between Palace, Watford or Burnley as the boys deserve our support wherever they are and if you can travel you should and not be selective.

Tufnell Park Canary 0 Posted March 30, 2004 Everyone wants to go to watford as they are such an incredible team and Watford is such a picturesque part of the country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St Benedict 0 Posted March 30, 2004 The common denominator has to boil down to distance and ease of journey. Just compare the A11 with the A47. Need i say more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gamera 0 Posted March 30, 2004 or everyone''s buzzing about the game?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted March 30, 2004 Good question Jon. I am so unbelievably desperate to go to Watford because I''m convinced that this is going to be THE game where we go up. I may never get an oppertunity like this in my life again and I just wish I could be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
