Thanks muchly! How much extra for a single room?

I’m going on a coach organised by Muzzy. Could be a boozy affair 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺⚽️🏆🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺😴😴😴😴😴😴

It's gone up by 75p since my email yesterday. Don't think i can afford it now. :)

Driver must be on time and a half for night work. ;D

As i said earlier, i used this service to Wembley and it was spot on. Can't grumble at 30 sovs to London and back, so i'll be booking.

Dont you fancy bunking up with me Ginny?🤭😂

Emergency WC facilities?

Does that mean you can only use it if you’ve got diarrhoea?

Agree it’s a bargain though.

Quoted from Hagrid

You're probably more alluring than some of the women I've woken up with in my dim and distant past. ??)

Quoted from 140381

Emergency WC facilities?

After such a conclusive World Cup with the introduction of VAR I’d be amazed if an emergency WC was called.

No. That's when the sh1t hits the fan

Town fan or Palace fan?

If it's Muzzy the builder (4-1) then it will be a good boozy affair ;)

until it gets stopped and turned back. ;)

Can't see it getting much further than Newcastle myself :)

Joking apart muzzy is a good lad and if there's a spare place on the coach when I next see him I will be taking it.

Sounds exciting-is he driving ?

Quoted from moosey_club

until it gets stopped and turned back. ;)

The boozing will be done in stops on the way.
I wouldn’t have posted on here if any was going to be on the coach. It’s already been discussed and agreed.

However, on the way back could be different. Especially if we get a result 😄

Leaving at 0700 hrs then ? ;D

I'm heading to the game from the south west.. I see the parking isn't great near Selhursr Park so it looks like I'll be paying £10 odd to park on someone's drive... Anyone have any other ideas or cheap places to stop and grab a tube

I've booked an hotel with free parking, £50 all in and it's only a mile n hskf away from selhurst....saved dicking about driving home late on a Saturday night...plus I can have a few scoops with my boy...

Quoted from moosey_club

Leaving at 0700 hrs then ? ;D

Many a true word spoken in jest. 😉. Won’t be revealing too much on here. Prying eyes and all that But my bacon butty may well be consumed on the way 😄😄

Just out of interest, is it illegal to drink on a bus nowadays, or just football ones?

Quoted from Gaffer58

Just out of interest, is it illegal to drink on a bus nowadays, or just football ones?

Yeah just football ones.

Well, “sporting events”, but I’m yet to see a coach load of people off to the races arrested and escorted back to wherever they came from.

Quoted from Gaffer58

Hope I’m right though in saying only on the way there ?

If they pick on the races that’s my Boxing Day foocked :-/

You are not allowed to drink on London buses, trams or tubes. You can drink on the train though!

https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2008/may/alcohol-ban-comes-into-force-on-the-tube-trams-and-buses-from-this-sunday-1-june

You are also not allowed drink on a coach which "is being used for the principal purpose of carrying passengers for the whole or part of a journey to or from a designated sporting event".

Designated sporting events including all professional football matches.

Is 11 o clock a bit late to be leaving for south London? Doesn't leave a lot of time for stops and getting a pint before the game.

Quoted from mimma

Were hoping to be arriving into Cockfosters by then if that helps your judgement. Planning on spending the day in central London before travelling to Crystal palace mid afternoon.

I'm assuming that there'll be a GTFC meeting point for a mass photo so keeping a look out on social media for that.

The tube won't get you anywhere near. Doesn't go out that far.

The nearest mainline train stations to Selhurst Park are Thornton Heath or Selhurst which are both about a 10-15 minute walk from the ground.

So lads if you are drinking on the way to the game and are stopped by police you will be escorted home.

BUT

What happens if you are stopped on the way home ?

Are you escorted back to London ? ;D

Ive seen Civvy and his coach parties in action before at the dog racing they led another coach party astray ;D

Quoted from 1mickylyons

It will be cultural and enlightening. UTM

+ Norwood Junction which may well be the closest.

Quoted from arryarryarry

+ Norwood Junction which may well be the closest.

Just had a quick gander at Google maps.

According to them distances from Selhurst Park are Thornton Heath station 0.7miles, Norwood Junction 0.6 miles and Selhurst train station 0.5 miles, so they're all pretty much of a muchness really with Selhurst just slightly closer.

Interestingly, Palsce have started selling tickets for the gsme today, and you can't book in one of the side stands which might indicate our allocation.

Quoted from Mariner93er

You mean Palace fans cannot book in the away section?

Away fans only get a portion of the side stand.

Does anyone know if it’s reserved seating or unreserved ??

Quoted from ska face

Yeah just football ones.

Well, “sporting events”, but I’m yet to see a coach load of people off to the races arrested and escorted back to wherever they came from.

Don’t think race meetings are designated sporting events for the purpose of alcohol consumption

Quoted from supertown

Don’t think race meetings are designated sporting events for the purpose of alcohol consumption

Which is ironic given the state of a lot of the pillocks and slappers you see at Waterloo during Ascot week.

Quoted from Civvy at last

Does it matter ?

What I have seen of premiership grounds you can stand .

Quoted from grimsby pete

Does it matter ?

What I have seen of premiership grounds you can stand .

It matters a lot. If you get a seat at the back of the stand you won't be able to see very well. It's a very old stand that has been modified to acomodate seats.

Pretty sure the seats are numbered.

Thanks Les, will pay to park on a drive somewhere... In regards the stand, I'd hate to travel all that way and be stuck with a excrement view. Give us a side stand and close it off to home fans, not like they'll have many their anyway

Wtf.. For seats in the Directors' Box, prices are £20 for adults and £10 for both senior and junior concessions.

There’s loads of street parking in walking distance to the ground.

Quoted from Les Brechin

Just had a quick gander at Google maps.

According to them distances from Selhurst Park are Thornton Heath station 0.7miles, Norwood Junction 0.6 miles and Selhurst train station 0.5 miles, so they're all pretty much of a muchness really with Selhurst just slightly closer.

Several options if travelling by car and not wanting to venture close to the ground.

Park at Barnet, Cockfosters or Stanmore to travel by tube to Balham and a short train ride to Selhurst or Thornton Heath.

Or parking at Cockfosters, Piccadilly Line to Finsbury Park change to Victoria Line one stop to Highbury & Islington then overland train to Norwood Junction.

Yeah I'd rather do something like that than try to drive from one side of London to the other

Parking at cockfosters. Tube and train to our hotel, best western half a mile from the ground

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.

Something on the lines of FOOTBALL IS A SPORT - NOT A SHOW

Absolutely pathetic its on 5.30 and not even on UK tv

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

Allocation of 4,168.

On sale from Saturday, 2 per ST.

£15 adults
£10 OAPS
£5 under 18

Coaches £30 return (great deal).

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?

I think everyone who wants to go will get a ticket , , ,no need to panic ,, , , if we somehow do sell them , , , I am sure we can have a few more!

Yes, which makes it even more the daft/cynical that they've decided to do it this way. I'm part of 5 non-season ticket holders (including 3 kids) who were planning on sitting together, this way of selling them probably makes that less likely and there's absolutely no need for that to be the case.

Yes I understand , , I have family in Grimsby who are ST holders and will be purchasing for themselves and other family members , , , and when I get mine it will be not with them! But hey ho

The issue I have is, I want to go but am not a St ticket holder. I will gladly wait until 27TH BUT I intend to go on the soccer express bus. By the 27th what are the chances of getting 2 seats on the same coach.

I really wouldn't worry about it. Get your travel sorted. There'll be plenty of match tickets.

We have the potential for 10,000 if needed!!!

As already stated get your travel sorted first and then tickets for the match - simples

Jesus wept. I didn't think gy did snowflakes. We're not going to sell 4000+ and in reality you will be able to sit with whoever you like, including childminders. Ffs get a grip

Picking up on the idea someone had of having signs that say 'hi mum ...." in different languages, saying something like 'fcuk off and watch something else you girl private' in multiple languages would be better ;)

Wheres the hotels soccer express take u too? R they near the palace or miles out?

They take you on a Scottish Whisky making tour first and a quick gander at Loch Lomond then a visit to Balmoral before heading to the Palace , , ,

Somebody who I know has a season ticket but their stub C was taken out by the ticket office for Chesterfield game and when they rang ticket office today to tell them that they basically got told that's their problem and they would have to buy a Swindon ticket and wait until then, despite having a season ticket! What a mess
