This is a massive shame. I also hope those that participated in this get banned. I like the atmosphere that the HF bring to Selhurst, they’ve done a fabulous job and matchday at home is excellent. Having said that, I wasn’t one of those supporters that the Club allowed to be moved out of my seat, so I’m sure alternate opinions exist.
However, we are all simply football fans so I don’t give even the tiniest and remotest of tosses about any of their politics, their beliefs, their views, their Gods or anything else they may wave flags about outside of supporting Palace and I don’t expect them to bring it to football.
I would not and do not expose those around me at the games to my thoughts on current affairs so I don’t expect others to do it to me.
They may find this hard to believe and understand (so forgive me if this is a reality check) but pretty much no one else gives a s*** about their views on this stuff either. At its base level they are just a small group of fans at a professional football club in South East London. Nothing more, nothing less. Their opinions on anything outside of Palace are irrelevant.
That your kids are now scared of them and don’t want to attend away games is shocking after attending what should have been an atmosphere of celebration and I think, if they have anything about them, that they should reach out to you and work with you to rectify this.
I appreciate that it is also alleged that it wasn’t just them, so I apply the same comments to anyone that brings our club into disrepute and scares future supporters from following the team they love away from home.
