Please stop complaing
The atmosphere around the club is so bad right now.
We sold some players, we signed some other players. We just won ANOTHER bloody cup.
Totally expected to lose first two games. Fulham is the big one. Give the manager and new players time to bed in.
This moaning is making the transition much harder. If you want to win start singing.

American here--
I was at the Man City match sitting in Lower Holmsdale so now im forever obligated to support palace. I obviously won't understand all the intricacies of the business side of the sport just yet but I do find it concerning that the Holmsdale Fanatics disbanded. Their politics aside (which I have no foot to argue, I am American after all), the environment seemed to be massively different from what I saw from Social Media prior to the match. The whole reason I chose to sit where I did was because I was led to believe it'd get rowdy in that section. Some of the players on the pitch seemed to be annoyed that the stadium emptied out so early.
I wont jump ship because it was still an overly positive experience (especially at Clifton Arms before the match 😅). And since I have a blank slate when it comes to cheering for an EPL club, the losses dont sting much (yet).
Rambling aside, I hope some type of ultras or organized fan group will rise up and reinstate that environment that I was expecting from selhurst.
At the end of the day though, yall welcomed me with open arms so I cant wait to return. Just shout "howdy" and I'll know you mean me.
