Think you are reading too much into this, doubt it has much to do with us even if that banner was a dumb thing to do. It will be a number of things, I know Forza get very frustrated with the bureaucracy, its a nightmare trying to get official displays approved and the logistics sorted. After the banner incident would imagine the club wants a bit more editorial control which they may not like. Seen a number of people moaning about the lack of Forza actvity to which I would say get off your backside and do it yourself if you think its that easy.
As for Palace ultras, they are a bit of a different breed its the weird european choreographed thing which we don’t buy into in this country. Suspect as much as anything theyve just grown up.

He seems like an incredibly experienced person.
Good luck to him in his new role, hope he smashes it.

I think he is here to guide us through the ground redevelopment and I would hope to help put increase revenue streams in place as we are so way behind most PL clubs in that respect. I also think he is and old mucker of the big man, correct Sniffer?

Really?
Just a bunch of chavs.
21 years. I've only really noticed them in recent years trying to mimic continental Europe ultras, and frankly, they're embarrasing.
"Coordinated chanting" says it all really
