Palace away

Recommended Posts

Yeah, got a couple yesterday. Would have gone if it was midweek but having it on a Saturday is even better.

Not been before but have heard almost unanimous negative reviews of the place - one to get ticked off the list and never visit again I think. Only £15 for under 24s though (never seen that demographic used before but I applaud it) so good value at least!

Is their any reason, why the tickets aren''t online? I wouldn''t mind going, train wouldn''t cost as much (or be as far) to London....

Away tickets are not sold online for technical reasons. A pathetic excuse I know, being in I.T., but that is what the ticket office told me last season.

Been around 10 times, and hardly ever do well. And youre right, the area is shocking...

Enjoy the wooden seats...

It really is a desperate place, Palace....The Arthur Wait Stand which houses both home and away fans is terrible. It has wooden seats, no leg room and I''d recommend that, other than to take away the pain to come, you don''t drink too much before going in as the crush in the loos is horrendous. Dear old Arthur must be squirming in his grave with embarrassment. Oh, and don''t touch the food either .......... luckily there is a Sainsbury''s behind one of the goals which may save having to buy a programme for something to eat as the food stalls outside might as well all have a sign on them saying '' Your Life In My Hands ''. WorryingNormally they charge £30 or £35 for the privilege of using the Arthur Wait but I believe it''s £25 this year which is still about a tenner too much. Last time we were there Palace were advertising vacant boxes at a '' bargain '' £300 + VAT for 10. We decided to try one out. It turned out to be in those double-stacked Portakabins behind the Sainsbury''s goal. To be fair at that price you can''t really complain but you certainly could if you''d paid the normal £1,000 +VAT.....Oh, and I nearly forgot to say that we never win there.All in all sounds a classy day out.....

I bought a ticket to the original game, got up at silly o''clock on Boxing Day to travel to the game only for the weather to intervene, and thought that I might as well get a refund as it''ll obviously be a midweek fixture and having just started a new job, the chances of getting the time off would be pretty slim I would think.  Obviously there was no way we wouldn''t get through in the FA Cup...You would think I would learn, wouldn''t you?  Norwich and cup competitions don''t go together.  Oh well, time to buy that ticket back.

All,

Going Palace away, glad its now on a Saturday so A nice little early doors train down from Chelmsford for breakfast at the Hamilton Hall at Liverpool St, then possibly going Norwood to meet up with a couple of mates for a drink.

Last time I went I drank at London Bridge area which was a laugh.

Where else is everyone drinking and what time you getting to London?

Anyone going from Chelmsford etc??

Ian
