You wouldn't drive through London to get there. You'd go Dartford way?

They shouldn't be able to move the kick off time where the away team is likely to bring thousands of fans and not be able to use public transport to travel back afterwards. It is as simple as that.

We need to show the FA we want them to stop flipping with football. Is there anyone out there with the nous and the willing to put a banner together? I'd chuck in at least a tenner.

We should all take a sign that says “look mum - I’m on the telly” in every language other than English.

Be great if we could sell that out. Grab your mates, tell the part-timers at work, treat the kids and send the missus shopping.

Interesting that it says ‘initial allocation’, I think we’ll easily sell 4000, everyone I know seems to be going.

Don't you think other clubs have protested before??
The FA simply aren't bothered about fans.
I don't even think the club have a say in it.

But to the fa its just business.
No amount of signs will have any effect.
A concerted effort like below may do though,don't hold your breath.

Bit frustrating that stubs from previous fa cup games don't count towards it. As an exile it limits my chances of getting a ticket.

For an INITIAL allocation of 4000+ in London, it seems a remarkably complicated and long-winded way to sell them with general sale as late as the 27th a week before the game. What about fans organising travel arrangements? What about friends or families who want to sit together? Exiles postal tickets over the New Year bank holiday? They never think things through from a fan's perspective, just expect them to turn up however difficult they make it sometimes. Rule after rule, date after date, two tickets for some, one ticket for others, this stub that stub, this game that game. We might sell 4k or more, but as it's only an initial allocation and Palace aren't selling any home tickets in a stand which holds nearly 10k, it seems really convoluted to me and not very fan friendly over the Xmas period..

Surely it would make sense in this case to just have general sale and buy as many as you want, the club make it simple as possible and for the club to get an early indication of total demand rather than it being all last minute panic for some re general sale?
