At least Brighton wouldn't be as annoying as the Bournemouth fans. Brighton have their own rivalry with Palace so that would keep them occupied.
Perhaps next season will be our year when we finally get to play the skates in the cup.

Yes it has improved. It will also improve if Liverpool win the Europa League
As it stands, our ranking is 16.756
It was in the last minute as well! A glorious ending that was predicted in this thread. We all wanted that an agonising last minute play-off defeat would finish off their promotion hopes
Will the HNW individuals be willing to invest more in the club? Is it worth the risk?
And will the fans be happy to see their shares diluted and reduce in value?
Of course, the referee and Sky was involved in a massive Football League conspiracy, otherwise, without the huge following of skates, the other clubs would go bankrupt #fact
A lot of things still have to be decided with cup finals etc. but here are some of the teams who have also qualified for the Europa League
Directly for the group stages
Athletic Bilbao
Schalke
Mainz
Inter Milan
Braga
Feyenoord
Standard Liege
Konyaspor
Qualifying rounds
Celta Vigo
Hertha Berlin
Fiorentina
Arouca
Rio Ave
Nice
Lille
AZ
Basaksehir
Slovan Liberec
Pandurii Targu Jiu
Rijeka
And many many more
If Rangers win the Scottish Cup they enter the 2nd qualifying round. Would be a laugh if we drew them at some stage
If Man Utd win the FA Cup, we're in the group stages.
If Palace win the cup final and Man Utd finish above us in the table, we drop into the 3rd qualifying round.
So, either a Man Utd win at Wembley or a Cherries win at Old Trafford would do for us.
