Balloons on Saturday

(Not necessarily a debate item but more a personal plea)

Like everyone, I'm looking forward to another truly wonderful day at Wembley.

I may be out of step but I felt our tradition of balloons (since the 1989 play-offs) was at its least evident at the semi.

Let's fill Wembley with as much red and blue as possible.

Trouble is us older ones who were around back then struggle to blow the bloody things up now👴🏻🤣

I too like the balloons and have purchased 50 red and 50 blue. Will need some help blowing them up!

I've always associated red and blue balloons on the pitch with games that we've disappointed in, usually in the sun with balloons drifting across the pitch.

Me and me bro always think, oh oh when we see them (on the pitch).

It's funny how we all have our silly superstitions, isn't it.

Balloons at every major semi or final and we've won or lost every time! I hear you though but for shear fan dominance and to impress our players, I'll blow up some balloons and keep my fingers crossed! 👊🤪

We need to raid a party shop for a ton of those hand held pumps, might save a few old buggers passing out 🤣

Is anyone else concerned about the fundraising and the HF??? People have raised £40,000 for it - how do we know they aren’t keeping the left over money for themselves to have a great day out on Saturday? Personally I’d like to donate for the display but this does worry me

In the past all money not spent has been donated to charity. I seem to remember it goes to the Palace for Life Foundation (could be wrong).

The wording on their go fund me page is below. The fact he's given his name would suggest they're not up to any funny business. They take this type of thing seriously and can't imagine they'd risk their reputation by using Palace fans money on a jolly.

All funds raised will be used to purchase materials for the display.

The money raised by this fundraiser will be used by the Holmesdale Fanatics to fund display materials for the FA cup final.

Funds will be transferred to myself, treasurer Gavin O'Donnell, before being used to purchase materials directly from supporters-uk.com
