Yeah they sold 2,000+ and it was on tv, amazing support.

Yep, I remember now. Watched it on tv, a few good games. In terms of support in our division, Leeds' is second to none.

A FOOTBALL fan has appeared in court accused of climbing up a TV gantry as a prank during a Crystal Palace game.

Sheffield Wednesday fan Sean Carr made the 400-mile round trip from Rotherham on Wednesday, to appear before Croydon Magistrates' Court for just ten minutes.

    IN THE DOCK: Sean Carr is facing prosecution over an alleged incident at a Palace game

The 33-year-old is charged with going onto an area adjacent to the playing area during a game as prohibited under the Football (Offences) Act 1991.

The court heard Carr, of Jewitt Road, Rotherham, had accepted a bet from a friend to climb up a ladder in the Arthur Wait Stand at Selhurst Park, to where TV cameras were stationed – much to the amusement of the travelling Wednesday fans.

Once at the top of the ladder, the Yorkshire club's travelling support were heard to chant "We'll do what we want, we're Sheffield Wednesday, we'll do what we want." ( :D )

Natasha Pitman, who was at the game, told the Advertiser: "I couldn't believe it.

"The atmosphere at the ground was great as always but there are always some people that do silly things.

"I couldn't keep my eyes off him – it was difficult to focus on the game."

The case was adjourned until November 20.

The incident has been widely discussed on football forums after fans saw a man on top of the ladder during Palace's 2-1 home win against Wednesday in the Championship on September 1.

On a Sheffield Wednesday forum, one fan wrote: "It's only my bleeding cousin, it went from a bet to him actually doing it.

"Just hope he doesn't get a three-year ban as he's as harmless as a cushion, until it comes to climbing ladders."

Nah, Palace's rivalries are with Brighton and to a lesser extent Millwall.

Charlton don't feature all that highly for them.

How can anyone have a rivalry with Charlton? It would be like getting pissed off at a packet of Wether's Originals.

I've only just noticed how dogshite Wednesday's defence is:

Kirkland

Beevers

Llera

Taylor

Mattock

Shocking.

Exactly

Kirkland's quality though

It will be: Buxton - Taylor - Gardner - Reda/Mattock

Which is a good enough defence for the Championship, just need to get them fit and settled.

Read Simon Jordan's book and you may think differently. Charlton definitely feature highly

Yes but Oompa Lumpa boy hates everyone and everything - going by that Birmingham are one of that lots rivals

I think the Scum hate Charlton more then they let on , they try to play it down by claiming "pity"
