I'm am not - first time I have missed a home game on my season ticket when I could have gone for 40 years

You've got to be joking, watching that lot mug us off for 90 minutes, I've got less humiliating things to be doing with my day.

Bodes well for our appearance statistics next season then. Of course I'm going to turn up to our last game in the top-flight for god knows how long. I would hope that we play most of our youth team as we're not going to win with the team we played today. Palace can mug us off all they want, I couldn't care less.

Could be the last time any of us see PL football for a long while, hopefully we'll bounce back but that will depend on the summer transfers and who's CEO and who's the manager as much as who's playing. Aside from a few of the senior players, they should all be cut lose.

Would love to see the youth lads win the cup on Monday & get rewarded with first team spots on Sunday. Would rather watch them then some of our so called first teamers who looked like they didn't give a toss.

I will be there. I hope they rest the old guard and play some youngsters.....

Burn roberts dembele david christensen plumain. Even williams. I dont want to see the old guard any more.

Yes, I will be there in the hope of seeing young players who could form the basis for our Championship team next season. A number of those who have failed us so dismally this season should now be sent home for an early and long summer holiday and not considered for Sunday's friendly.

Post by: btings on May 03, 2014, 09:29:14 PM
Given that this is the last chance for me (and other American fans) to see the club for a very long time, I'll definitely be tuning in.

If we had any players with the heart of McBride, Murphy and Bullard in the side this year, we could have stayed up...
Title: Re: The Crystal Palace Game
Post by: Burt on May 03, 2014, 10:49:00 PM
Yes, absolutely.

To echo others comments, I would love to see us go with a youthful lineup. Nothing to lose now, many of the old guard will be off over the close season, and it would be good to get the youngsters thinking of getting regular first team football.

Post by: Riversider on May 03, 2014, 11:11:35 PM
I was going to give it a miss, then I remembered the lap of honour after the game, so I've ordered 2 dozen red roses to throw at the players feet as they lap up the applause on their walk around the pitch with their families  :doh:
Title: Re: The Crystal Palace Game
Post by: fulhamdk on May 03, 2014, 11:15:59 PM
I will be there,i was there last time when we were in the championship.now we can play against some big clubs like leeds and nottingham forest

Post by: God The Mechanic on May 04, 2014, 03:21:44 AM
Was tempted to head down from Manchester if there was something to play for, other than the expense to do so I'm not sure how toxic the atmosphere may turn out.  Gonna give it a miss, and hopefully sort out a job down in London so I can get a season ticket for next year!

I will be there i don't just go when things are going well, i support Fulham FC with the good and the bad times.

I guess each and everyone of us deals with things in our own way.

Let's plan for next season

                       Stockdale
Passley Grimmer Burn Briggs
Roberts Christensen David Richardson
                          Kasami
                            Woodrow

Can't take another 90 minutes of watching the the old guard
Title: Re: The Crystal Palace Game
Post by: Classic94 on May 04, 2014, 09:47:05 AM
I'm going, but will not be staying for the 'lap of honour'.

Also, I agree with the above, why not field players who will be here next season?

-----------------Stockdale----------------

Passley----Heitinga?----Burn----Briggs

-------------Sidwell----Diarra------------

Roberts---------Kasami------Richardson

-----------------Woodrow----------------

Got to agree with 'Jags'.  Really hope we pick up a trophy v Chelsea on Monday night and give them all a run out on Sunday.  I am coming down from Scarborough with my lad. As others have said, it may be our last 'Top-Flight' game for some time and so I cannot miss it.
On a positive note, next season we will have Leeds / Huddersfield  / Sheffield Wed / Bolton / Middlesboro' / Blackpool & Blackburn, all within easy reach :) So there is one positive.

I have already paid for it, via my season ticket, so I will be attending.

Next season will be "pay as you go" for me and I will be more selective.
Title: Re: The Crystal Palace Game
Post by: nose on May 04, 2014, 11:17:17 AM
where else would i be?
in sickness and health I said i do

The club need us more than ever, but the powers that be have to listen to us too.

I am going because i want to/have to be there, not because i have already paid.

for those not going, that is their choice, and if we are not successful in the near term asnd the crowds dwindle, that is their choice too, i will still be hereat the cottage, by the river.

Post by: Bill2 on May 04, 2014, 11:37:25 AM
I will be there, but will not be hanging around if the players do a lap after the match. I am not sure I have the resolve not to boo which I have never done to my team.
Title: Re: The Crystal Palace Game
Post by: Wingnut on May 04, 2014, 12:11:29 PM
Flights and match ticket are booked so I will be there. I won't boo the team but I certainly won't be staying to applaud the team after the game. Couldn't believe it when people applauded the team after yesterday's effort. I'm all for supporting the team but yesterday was dreadful.

I agree, Alfie. I'd be there as well. As it is, I'll record the match and watch it quietly after I get home from church.

Fulham isn't something I can dabble in; it's a huge part of my life.

How will you be able to record it?  Do you mean the highlights (if there are any)?  While you're there (in church), have a word with the Geezer about next season...

All 10 matches will be broadcast live on one of NBC's stations. I'll DVR it and watch later.

I'm actually thinking of giving it a miss, only missed a handful of home games in last 20 odd years.

If I do I will sell my tickets and give the money to charity

My wife and I are season ticket holders though haven't renewed yet.
After the game on Saturday I thought " Right that's it then, I'm not going next week so the Palace fans can sing mocking songs at us for 90 minutes"
You know they will.
So after the angst has abated somewhat, I'm starting to come around to it.
I suppose like many I figured we would somehow escape all this.
I'm not sure what to expect next week.
Regardless of the season's results, I've really enjoyed my time going to the games.
Its become a ritual that I truly cherish.
So
I will renew.
I will go next week.
I just don't really know what to expect.
Strange.
A grown man, feeling all at sea.
My Brazilian wife  seems to understand more than I do.
She's lived and breathed football since she could walk.
Confession over.

personally i do not give a monkey's about the palace fans and what they may or may not do or say.
neither should you, we are better than that and showed what we are made of yesterday, we should stick together and get behind the team for the last time in the premiership for the time being.
i went to the last game in the old first division and wouldn't forgive myself if i missed this one.
