Palace re name smellhurst park

[Hillian1]

Good post from a fan with a moral compass.

Whether it's £100k, a million or ten million, it's money that by and large is taken out of the pockets of those with the gambling bug in order to further promote what can very easily become a disease like alcoholism or drug addiction. The high street is already riddled with bookmakers on every corner, now it's going to be in every Palace fan's face, with the history of the name Selhurst Park merely shat upon in the name of money.



Such a shame the rest seem to be rubbing their hands at the prospect of extra money.

Looks photoshopped to me

The '12p in the pound Stadium' is more apt

That's nice of you, they don't usually pay that much.

 

[supaseagull]

More like the two-bob stadium

 

[sherrinned]

Surely the number two arena is appropriate, shame its not a Tesco in the map

 

[SeagullSongs]

Double post, somehow...

Are credit card companies any better? Get off the high horse.

Not keen on the idea or the company involved but it will always be just Selhurst to most.

It'll be interesting to see who 12Bet cheer for when Wigan arrive to Croydon

 

[St Moritz]

Shows the way that football has gone. I wonder if they'll get Kenny Sansom in for the grand reopening...

 

[Winker]

Shows how many hangers on there are there on the Palarse board, the Directors car park is nearly as big as the ground.

Just to clarify I meant generally that grounds in the middle of town is how football should be.

I got your meaning and agree with it. Pompey, Liverpool, Port Vale, Burnley, just a few of many that spring to my mind. Always a bigger buzz than an out of town stadium.

I think Norwich City is the best example of this. Carrow Road has a superb location, just a few minutes' walk from the city centre and very close to the railway station, meaning you can easily make the last train back to London after a night game. The last time we played there, the crowd was over 25,000 if I remember correctly, but it still took just a few minutes to get back to the station. The Brighton Station site would have been brilliant (though not so good for drivers I suppose), and extremely convenient for Brighton's business district. Carrow Road is very well used by businesses during the week (a quick survey by myself revealed every business suite in use), something I understand we are not fully exploiting.

Its, Selhurst park sponsored by 12bet...but not happy. Bloody modern football.....

Shouldn't that be Nobhead Stadium sponsored by 12 bet?

Charge card darling, that's what AE are known for. Credit card came later.

I didn't take the moral high ground, you presented it to us, indeed to the rest of Football.
