This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Had they fixed the roof? I was at Selhurst about five years by 3rdSt
ago when they were down a division. The stadium was in pretty poor state, with big holes in the corrugated tin roof that funneled rain water right into sections of the stands. When I first got into the ground, I couldn't understand why there were areas where no body was seated - until it started raining...
Good fans indeed, saw the Eagle while having a few pints in the pub in the stadium beforehand, and distinctly remember how 'English' the walk to the Tube station from the ground after the match felt - crowds of good-natured supporters walking through a red-brick Victorian neighborhood, chatting to friends in the houses and having a jolly old time.
