Struck me as a bit desperate, especially as Groupon apparently take up to 50% commission.

"Soaring high above their South London footballing rivals, Crystal Palace are pushing hard to conquer the NPOWER Championship under the watchful eye of manager Dougie Freedman. The club’s comfortable, easily accessible, and notoriously noisy 25,000 plus capacity stadium, is a short dribble from Selhurst and Thornton Heath stations and provides bars, a restaurant, and typical ground fare for half time refueling"

I also like the way the fact that the game is live on Sky is meant to be an attraction rather than a deterrant

    They'll be flogging them on e-bay next. They'll have to change their nickname again and become the desperado's

    'Notoriously Noisy' - well I suppose it echoes around the empty stands.

    theyoften take a 50% cut of your money so if you see a deal that looks alright try the retailer direct (eg. a hotel) as you can probably get a better deal.

    I dont think so salad.  Ive got many a cheap good facial/massage etc.  Just booked one yesterday.  The only con is getting an appointment when you want.

    132 have bought now.
