  • How has been allowed. Surprised that has got the go ahead with the old bill.

    Random idea but maybe people could act like adults.
    Don’t be such a fantasist!
  • Wasnt the league cup game against them a few years ago where one of our fans punched the eagle they parade around the pitch?
  • Palace away, that is very very tempting

    Yup and then a load of us got bottled by Palace on way back to the station.

    I imagine clubs like Reading and Palace don't want to risk paying fees to overseas clubs for friendlies which might then get restricted attendances.

    So they go for a big local club instead.

    The potential for aggro and the extra police costs do make it seem an odd choice but Thomas is mates with Parish and Gallen mates with Freedman, their DOF, so who knows, maybe it was agreed as a football match and other, off the field stuff not considered?
    Is there any more potential for agro than when we played Millwall 10 years ago? 
    Millwall is an easier ground to manage.
    Shame their fan ain’t.

    Yep: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/charlton-fan-jailed-and-banned-from-football-games-for-punching-crystal-palace-s-eagle-mascot-a3526621.html

    I was at the game but didnt see it. 

    Horrible game, Luzon practically forfeit it with the 2nd string team he put out. 
  • Mick, if your reading this, I’m not going, ok.

  • Why can't it be at the Valley instead.

    We'll probably have another team lined up for the following Saturday

    Southampton maybe, them and Reading being ex-clubs of Adkins? - Not to mention the Hummel links

    Else it'll be a week and a half between the Palace game and the first game of the season

    Sha la la la
  • I hope the Development squad fixtures are more attractive.
  • What a let down.  Big club please, Brighton or Brentford!

    Was there any agro at that game?
    Kicked off a bit after at LB I seem to recall
  • The last friendly will be played at the valley against a bigger club than palarse. 
    Probably Welling 
    Doubt it, given pitch is being relaid.

    Nice that Palace get a prestige friendly. I wonder who ours will be against.
    Their fans aren't seeing it that way on their forums:

    Do you know of any other development squad games?
    31/7 15.00 is the Maidstone game.
  • Sorry Elfsborg the Maidstone game is the only development game I know. Just thought I give a heads up to Kent adddicks . Guessing we might have a first team friendly that day at the Valley 
  • Has anything been sorted for the 31st July -  usually we have a home match on the last Saturday before the season starts.
  • Any news on the palace tickets?
