@JoshBUFC Sad to see York Street go. Got a few good memories watching Boston there when I lived in Lincolnshire.

An absolute disgrace that this terrace is ending up as a crumpled wreck. Would've been fine for (almost) anyone below the championship

@PalaceReport How many did we sell? Does anyone know?

Final is now SOLD OUT. Let’s make this special ❤️💙

@TheUniteddLad Easy......Argentina

@screamingalice1 Most of the brum coaches went to the Crystal Palace athletic stadium first! Doh.......

OTD 1989: Trouble at Palace v Birmingham at Selhurst Park.

@screamingalice1 I was also at SP that day. Mad scene's with Adolf Hitler on the pitch and the Family Enclosure holding their own against the brummies.

@holdthatelle I think they will just get a heavy fine. Leeds did the same thing a good few years ago and got a 200K fine.

What is the most likely outcome with Southampton do we think? Kicked out of playoffs? Heavy fine? Points deduction next time they’re in EFL? …and if they are kicked out? Do Hull get a bye or Boro into the final?

@avfcbreaking Agree 100%. Fuck UEFA

There was a time when a European final belonged to the supporters who dragged their club there. Not anymore. When Aston Villa were handed roughly 11,000 tickets for a Europa League final in a 70,000-plus stadium, the number itself told the story. UEFA can package the event however it likes — “festival of football”, “European showpiece”, “global celebration” — but the modern European final is no longer built around supporters. It is built around clients. The supporters fund the journey. The corporates inherit the destination. Villa fans will have spent thousands following the club across Europe. Flights, hotels, time off work, loyalty schemes built over years. Yet when the final arrives, huge sections of the stadium are reserved for sponsors, hospitality guests, executives, delegates and “neutral” allocations that often end up on resale sites within hours. And supporters are expected to accept it. UEFA’s defence is familiar. Sponsors fund competitions. Broadcasters need space. Hospitality drives revenue. All true. But football crossed a line when the event surrounding the final became more important than the supporters inside it. The optics are awful because fans can see it themselves. A finalist gets 11,000 tickets while corporate packages costing thousands remain available. Genuine supporters scramble through ballots with lottery-like odds, while neutral areas fill with tourists taking photos during the warm-up. And UEFA wonders why resentment grows. Supporters are constantly called “the lifeblood of the game” until ticket allocations are discussed. Then they become an inconvenience to work around premium inventory. Football did not become Europe’s dominant sport because sponsors created atmosphere. The noise, colour and emotion UEFA sells globally every season is generated by match-going supporters — the same people increasingly pushed aside at the biggest games. The “neutral fan” concept is perhaps the biggest fiction of all. In theory it promotes access. In reality it fuels resale markets, inflated prices and thousands travelling ticketless out of desperation. UEFA could change it tomorrow. Finalists could receive 70 per cent of the stadium combined. Corporate sections could shrink. Hospitality would still exist. But that would mean sacrificing revenue. And modern football has shown repeatedly which side wins that argument. #AVFC #scfreiburg

@BakersTweet Silly game. Eat it! 😀😀

Having looked at next season’s opponents in the NLS there’s absolutely 0 threat. Full of Tin pot rubbish. We’ll be 10 clear at Christmas and have it won by Easter. I will be disrespectful of the level from now on. Fire it up. #TUFC

Excellent post. Why do Bournemouth fans all of a sudden think they are the best team in the world??? So self entitled.

@EasternEagle100 What is boring about just stating a fact then mate?

@Phil_Thomas1 Oh do shut up mate . Just boring now

So the Leipzig ground holds close to 48K.......we get 11300 tickets as probably Rayo do as well. Where are the rest going to Corporates I take it? Absolute piss take.

@NoContextBrits amazing!

Describe this meal in one word.

He has more chance of winning thing's at Palace that's for sure..........

@Typical_Palace Oli Glasner will be dead before we build a new main stand and so will I 😂😂😂

Get this built outside the new Main Stand. It’s what he deserves. Sir Oliver Glasner 👑

It wasnt a dream. We are actually on our way 🔴🔵🦅

@holdthatelle 100% Noooooooo

Do I go back ginge? 🧡
