"Neutral Greek here!
I' ve read int the past that "Crystal Palace have the most dedicated fans in England".
Is that true, or just a rumor?"

"The supporters have played a big part in this story. You can check on YouTube to see the devotion of Palace fans in an age where many English grounds are increasingly lacking in atmosphere.
IPalace supporters have been through a lot of bad times and know both how to support a club when it's down and relish the occasions when the sun shines. It's easy to highlight the constant singing and noise and an impressive repertoire of entertaining (and noticeably clean) songs, but there's more to it than that. Palace is a club led by fans who spent years on the terraces and are well aware of how their fellow supporters feel. Their constant involvement with discussions on the two main fans message boards (both of which have huge member bases outnumbering much bigger clubs) has helped Palace take huge strides in terms of customer service, fair allocation of tickets, and the provision of greatly improved facilities within the limitations of a very old stadium.
Their reward for that is that particularly in the early part of the season, the supporters played a huge part in lifting and keeping spirits high when it was most needed. The next big challenge, as the club builds (we're all waiting for news of the club's ambitions for a major upgrade to Selhurst Park) is finding ways to keep that unique atmosphere."
