Why would any football fan want another club to fold? Get relegated, get knocked out of the Cup by a Non-League side etc yes, but NOT go out of business. It will be a domino effect. Banks everywhere are heavily exposed to football clubs and if a big club go, and relatively speaking Palace are a big club, then rugs will be pulled as quick as Blondes are on a Friday night in Blackpool.
Anyone who does not realise how close we would be to suffering from another club's demise is sadly deluded.

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour...
Tomorrow for old England she sails...
Her hold is full of rubber from Bangkok....
Just a minute I think I've heard this song before...
my hatred for them has increased 100% since we lost to Swindon go on some of their message boards and read it most are wishing that the result puts us in peril and how much they will love it, scummy fans scummy team, your pity is deserved more elsewhere

I did see some of that and was surprised how little perspective some of them have. They are in Admin, bleating about how unfair it all is but wishing the same on another club they "don't care" about.
Strange that they can't see the connection. Bit like people on the Titanic laughing at the other passengers getting wet.

Only a small minority.
Just as a small minority on here wish to see them go under.
But for the grace of the postcode you were born in, you could well have been a Palace fan.
Don't want to gloat as we're not exactly sitting pretty right now, BUT if Palace do go out of business today, will the Valley Express start a service from Selhurst??

This is all rather strange for me as I despise that club and their dumb fans. Yet I would still regret their passing and feel for the genuine nice people that work at/follow the club (even if it is only a few).
They do seem to have a majority of nutters that see life in a blinkered way only able to accept the party line which means any chance of putting animosity, generated during the dark days, at our end aside is all but impossible.
Yet even for all the anger seeing a red and blue stripe generates in me I hope they survive for the few decent people at the club (then get relegated without winning a game).

Agree with this apart from the bit about "genuine nice people"
I wish all things bad on them, but not liquidation.
I'd sorely miss the passion, anger and trepidation I feel whenever we play them.

Wish i worked in the city
We sent the palace down i would be singing out loud top of my voice with the added line of whos laughing now on the end
I am hoping that they are the example and they go Bust
The wife's just rung me to say that at about 11:25 they wandered past her building and were singing their little hearts out. Bless 'em.
What I will say on this is that its karma. What goes around comes around.
There is one Palace lad at work that has given me no end of stick for being a lowly league 1 team this season, for losing in the play-offs and generally wishing us no end of ill, including that he hopes we go bust as a result of not getting promotion. Irony of ironies!!!!
I've not said anything to him whilst all this has been going on, there's no need. Seeing the anguish on his face at the moment is enough.
You are showing remarkable self restraint there, sideways. Don't think I'd be so forgiving myself - I'd be waving a five pound note in his face and laughing uncontrollably if I'd had to put up with that kind of bollocks...
I'm sure all of the AFC Wimbledon fans are shedding a tear for all those Crystal Palace fans who showed them so much compassion, support and understanding during Wimbledon FC's last days at Selhurst Park .......................................... karma indeed

All together now...
Maybe there should be some sort of 'ironic' smiley. How about \:|
Might wear a stripey one in special celebration.
We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs a helping hand
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy, he must be happy,
he must be happy in his world
We're only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a fist of steel
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy, he must be happy,
He must be happy in his world
Nigel is nice spoken and he loves to speak
And he likes to be spoken to
Nigel is happy in his world
Nigel is happy in his world
We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs a helping hand
And if young Nigel says he's happy

That should of come with a warning. V.funny! ;-p
Talk about how things in the past have always worked out will be ended within a year and clubs will not chase the dream by risking their future.
