We are the Holmesdale Fanatics Ultras CPFC a supporters group following Crystal Palace FC from whom we remain 100% independent. We are based exclusively in block B of the Holmesdale Road Stand with our members standing throughout the block behind our main group banner, This banner is the physical representation of our group and is displayed proudly at the front of our area during every game.

   The group follows the 'Ultra' mentality of support in that we exist primarily to support our team and show our love for our club, our group and our colours. This is achieved through a combination of 90 mins of chanting at games, displaying flags and banners and pre match tifo displays which are funded, created and organised solely by our members. It is also important to us to recognise and honour heroes of Crystal Palace and as such we are extra supportive to former and current players and staff who have served the club for a long time and whose mentality is one of loyalty and commitment to CPFC.

Our many members hold different roles within the group, with several aspects needing to be organised on a weekly basis by our six man leadership committee. Many supporting members are happy however just to join in with the group mentality on matchdays, whether this be chanting in block b, setting up tifos or just joining in with the displays themselves. Others prefer to take a more active role and dedicate hours of work and money to furthering the group. However people want to get involved is fine with us.
We hold the view that any group is only as strong as those members within it and therefore we continually look for and encourage ANY new members of ALL ages to play as big or small a part as they desire as long as they support and respect the groups mentality.
To get involved, please don't hesitate to contact us through one of the methods at your disposal.

As an independent group our role is also to attempt to put power back in the hands of the real fans who are being increasingly ignored and sidelined in the overpriced, over-governed souless world of modern football. The repression and poor treatment by the authorities of innocent supporters and over priced tickets are things that all fans have to contend with and we are a union to safeguard and represent the our members in these issues.
   Essentially, the group is what football should be all about; having fun, getting drunk, making new mates and meeting people who want to support CPFC.

FOREVER PALACE
HOLMESDALE FANATICS ULTRAS


N.B
We, The HF, find the increase in half hearted, club-funded attempts up and down the country to copy our tifo-displays a souless mockery of everything it is to be a supporter and these chairmen and club officials will never understand that the Ultra mentality is something that cannot be simply bought in to.
We openly deride these actions and to us, these displays represent nothing but the souless, lack of identity of the clubs themselves.
