At the beginning of the Oliver Glasner era, Crystal Palace is at odds with the Holmesdale Fanatics, who claim the team is “sabotaging” their own supporters.
The supporters group is not happy that Selhurst Park’s long-standing banner has been taken down and replaced with LED advertising panels.
The Holmesdale Fanatics claim that until the problem is fixed and the row has the potential to negatively affect the atmosphere at Palace games, they will not fly flags or break out tifos.
“After a strong start on Saturday, it’s time to push on together for what we all hope will be a proud unified era,” they stated in a stark statement.
“Our top-flight status at Palace has been built upon that very unity and galvanised by a unique fanbase and style of support which brings untold positives.
“For the club to be sabotaging that very support is beyond comprehension.
The Holmesdale Fanatics assert that a seventy-five percent decrease in displays at Selhurst Park is the result of the club’s continued restriction on other flags and banners.
“Removing the long-standing group banner for more soulless LED advertising goes against every principle that the Palace identity has been built on and is flat out insulting to years of hard work and loyalty.
