How will they pay for that even at 10p in the pound their usual rate?

 

[Wilko]

They've copied the Amex West stand basically.

 

[BBassic]

Have to admit I like the glass fronted bit. Decent.

I did chuckle reading the KSS comments '.....it's already one of the best places to watch football....'

I thought this was a new stadium design, but essentially just looks like more cladding?

 

[jimhigham]

Will believe it when I see it. Which was basically my view on The Amex and we had to wait a fair old while for that.

In fairness, good luck to them if they can pull it off. Their fans have been long suffering, having to watch their football in an oversized skip, so I can't begrudge them an upgrade.

Looked like it a going to be a whole new stadium from the bit at the beginning, but its a new main stand and a bit of tweaking to the Arthur Wait, is that right?

 

[Curious Orange]

Hmm, I see that they've put the outline of the Crystal Palace into the facade, that is clever, but I'm not sure about having the wings off of the Mighty Thor's helmet on either side of it - that just makes it look a bit odd.

 

[Nixonator]

Looks like they have plans to nick our west stand and slap it down there.

 

[Munchkin]

I hope it’s fireproof.

It's a nice STAND. But that's all it is.

They've taken "generic new main stand" from the catalogue and dressed one side of it with a nice glass fascia. The rest of the place will remain a dilapidated shithole.

 

[Seaber]

Have they just put a new front on? The eagle and the fins at the side are hideous, not sold on the glass either.

Still, it's not my teams stadium, if they like it then fine

Will be the best ground in league 1

Looked impressive from the outside, but then you go inside and its just an identikit 4 stands round the pitch jobbie. Gaps in the corners, it doesn't look joined up. Nothing groundbreaking. Its basically the Britannia.

Still, at least you probably won't have to get a tetanus jab before visiting any more.

 

[Curious Orange]

It looks like they're going for the Anfield "lean-to" model of extension, this'll mean the current regulations regarding seat spacing will only apply to the extension - so anyone sat in the old part of the "new" stand will continue to be squashed together.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Looks like a giant glass ramekin.

 

[James Bond's body double]

So planning in Jan, they expect to start the refurb by the end of 2018.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Looks good. A rare well done to Prince Charming.

The best bit :

"Improved sightlines in the Arthur Wait Stand with the removal of the TV gantry, and improved Arthur Wait concourse"

The roof looks wonky in that image. Been here before haven’t we with palace and new stadium images will believe it when it’s built
