Your not the only ones planning to move.

To be fair, the artists impression looks quite good.

To be fair that actually looks pretty decent.

 

[The Large One]

Are those the main selling points for that location?

Its elevation and the fact that there are five local authorities nearby. Blimey.

Phase one, 25,000 stadium and aquatic centre, roughly £50m budget. .

Phase two - Find another 13,000 Palace fans and buy some fish.

Stephen Carr, the leader of Bromley Council said:
"Crystal Palace football Club have spoken to us and we are interested in their proposal to relocate the club to Crystal Palace park. These are potentially exciting times for Crystal Palace park and of course, we would need to look very carefully at the merits of any proposal. These fresh visionary ideas are welcome and ultimately, we want to improve the park and wider area and any viable plan to improve the park could have a positive impact on the locality and secure a brighter future. Of course, we will consider all proposals on their merits and would be subject to the planning permission in the usual way."

If the track remains at the Olympic stadium, I actually think this is a good proposal.

I've said it once, and I will say it again, it won't happen.

Enough space for caravan parking, I see.

Phase one, 25,000 stadium and aquatic centre, roughly £50m budget. Some funded through sale of Selhurst Park, some stadium naming rights.

25,000 seater stadium ... why the f**k would each fan want 10 seats?
Aquatic Centre ... Not so good at footie thinking of taking up kayaking?
£50m budget ... Up to you, if you want to cobble something together on the cheap you crack on
Sale of Selhurst ... That only leaves £49,000,000 needed.
Naming Rights ... where is the other £48,999,500 coming from to meet the budget?

Seriously hope you get it and survive.

The same could be claimed for us!?

Our ground is unusually expensive, most new grounds cost around 50m. The mock up actually looks pretty nice, although the building cannot be judged on one mock up at distance.

Sale of Selhurst ... That only leaves £49,000,000 needed.
Naming Rights ... where is the other £48,999,500 coming from to meet the budget?

Selhurst and the land around it would be worth a fortune in terms of housing and retail development

Seriously hope you get it and survive.

I do too.

I think it could happen but I would bet there will be NIMBY opposition (noise, dirt, all the usual rubbish). Whilst the park is nice enough the other side (Penge) is not so pretty. However I bet Bromley Council will see this as a potential windfall which I doubt that it will be. The fact that the many improvements to the local transport infrastructure that are already in progress makes it an ideal situation for a football stadium should be a factor to the project's advantage. Frankly athletics does not compare with football financially (as long as the club residing there can stay out of adminstration of course) so Bromley would get some money out of it. The down side is that initially Bromley Council would get more money selling it for housing. In my area there seem to be more Millwall and Charlton fans then Palace. Maybe Palace should set their sights a bit lower and ground share with Charlton or Millwall as they could all do with the money.

five battles to fight is surely *not* an advantage

 

[Napper]

That pic looks ok if a bit standard . Be interesting to see further pictures so can fully judge.

25k seems wise.

Great move to Crystal Palace park. A new era beckons. And what better way to mark it than with a change of emblem ...

 

[8ace]

What lovely patio furniture.

Phase two - Find another 13,000 Palace fans and buy some fish.

Number one-our crowds average 15000+ so another 66% will fill the new stadium.

number two- You have to increase your gate by another 200% to fill the new stadium.

Hope this helps

I'm with you on that.I would rather redevelop Selhurst into a proper ground.Although there is a rumour they are going to go for a safe standing area .
