Looked like a decent crowd at Palace yesterday - unfortunately for them the Press Association has reported it as 2,863 - and because of the way the club websites work it's reported as such on their own official website, as well as across the national media . . .
As a patriotic chap I do find it quite embarrassing to know that tourists will be coming to see , possibly our greatest export (SOCCER), but exhibited at palace and millwall?! Two half empty grounds in absolute sh**Hole parts of London. It doesn't do our beautiful game much justice does it!
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, I think we should give it a go. I think, on reflection that Palace's wording was quite good, and we were wrong to mock:
"Silencing crowds with buzz-cut strikes, fingertip saves, and well-crafted crosses, Crystal Palace Football Club has become synonymous with gritty displays of determination and top-class talent for more than a century. The multinational squad calls in talents from Argentina, Ireland, Norway and the UK, all performing under the watchful eyes of their young manager and former Palace hero, Dougie Freedman."
How about this for the Charlton advert: "Silencing their already mute crowds with wayward strikes, fingertip flapping, and overhit crosses, Charlton Athletic Football Club has become synonymous with dodgy owners, unpaid bills, illicit smoking cartels and failed takeover bids for more than a season and a half. The threadbare squad calls in talent from Brittany, and a selection of spirited but limited grafters from as far afield as Cornwall, Essex and Bury St Edmonds, all performing under the watchful eyes of their brilliant young manager and Charlton legend, Chris Powell, who surely deserves better than to take stick from a small minority for somehow managing to keep his Poundland Paratroopers off the bottom of the table."
Think Palace sold 52 tickets first time they did it, I reckon we can get manage 7 or 8, no problem!
It's a joint deal with The Priory Clinic. 2 tickets for £20 and you get taken direct from the game to a week long rehab session. Quote promotion code "ICANTTAKEITANYMORE".
Brother rings me to see if I'm interested (he floats between Millwall and CAFC). For a brief moment I did think about going as whoever loses will please me (but then regained my senses).
More seriously, I think CAFC ought to give it a go. Through the Football for a Fiver deals I've managed to convert 2 dads and their sons into occasionally attending supporters at the Valley and would like another chance to get more on board.

I wonder where they got that idea from?
