if its anything like our last 2 appearances, fucking dire Talking to a Watford mate at work today, and he was moaning that Palace beat them a few years back as they got 200 or so of their singers in one block. All the Watford ones were dotted around and there was no atmosphere in their end, hence Palace raised their game. Straws and clutching etc, but the signs are starting to mount up... In my head anyway

To do with what end of the stadium fans will naturally approach it
It usually seems that way, but this time it doesn't for us as we generally approach from the West, being West and Preston will come in via the North into Euston won't they (well, if there were any trains)? Reckon they chose it pre semi final and probably hedged on Preston vs. Sheff Utd.

It actually doesn't matter that much, you just aim for the nearest tube to your end I would have thought, and got off at that station. It would only really matter if you walked from Swindon or Preston.

The Palace group are well organised though, Holmesdale Fanatics, all sit in the bottom corner of the stand. Reckon they probably arranged to go together - such large groups are rare in English football.

I quite fancy the change, although the pubs look a bit shit our side if you do fancy a pint near the ground - although the previous ones weren't that great either.

Anything that's different from our last two visits I'm taking as a good omen. So I'm very happy we're in the east end of the stadium!

I don't doubt that. I was alluding to the fact that lots of ours are in 111, and the London/reading lot in 113. I did mention clutching straws

I therefore task you with composing and singing a pre match song, that can include We've never won, scored, or in fact got close to fucking scoring at new Wembley... If you don't and we lose I'm afraid it's on your head

Nowhere near, check their forum. Those boys seem a little too relaxed.. We'll be coming full bore on and off the pitch ')

Especially singing the song I've half nicked from somewhere... Aye, aye, aye, Foderingham's better than Yashin, Kasim is better than Eusabio, And Preston are in for a thrashing.

I've looked and noticed this. They have a totally different mood to their forum than ours. I'd say a little cynical too. Our team and our fans are warriors though. If they underestimate us or think we're going to play piggie in the middle with them all game, they've another thing coming.

Don't think so, but fucked if I know the tune. I mean I do, but I don't know what it's called. Edit: Cielito Lindo (sp) a Mexican tune from 1882. It looks like Chelsea used to sing it about Peter Bonetti.
