[Football] Any progress at Selhurst?

[Gazwag]

They are still trying to get hold of the full plans for our stadium so they can copy all of it rather than just one stand

Absolute no chance this going ahead if they get relegated despite what Parish says. Fingers crossed

Not that funds ARE in place then. Just the "plans" to. What happened to this ringfenced money we were told about (that doesn't appear on their accounts).

Telling.

"Plans" meaning Parish is going to ask the yanks for some more money because they've pissed the original cash up the wall. Whichever way you look at it, the "ringfenced" money was always a load of bullshit and they will have to borrow it from somewhere. If they can. That will mean having to pay it back, with interest.

I think EP did some interesting calculations based on the cost / repayments / increased income and they didn't look good. Of course the goon squad rubbished the figures because "they have the ringfenced cash".

All good fun!

Be amazed if it happened any time soon even if they don't go down.

Drove past the upcoming Brentford Community Stadium yesterday.
Being built quicker than plans.

Brentford's coming along nicely. Buckingham build the Amex as well didn't they?

 

[schmunk]

the ageing Main Stand replaced with a modern five-storey stand,

I first read this as "five-tier stand" - they should do this.

 

[Rogero]

They are spending huge amounts on wages. If they go down they could go under again.

Before work can start, the club and council bosses have been locked in negotiations over the terms of the Club’s Section 106 obligations. These obligations were set out by the planning committee and in the club's proposal, meaning as part of the redevelopment the club has to fund transport and community improvement initiatives.

Those negotiations have not yet concluded, and as such, there is no start date as yet for the project.
At the conference on Tuesday, Parish also said that plans to fund the redevelopment were now in place, but that negotiations were continuing with the council relating to the purchase of land and houses that is a condition of planning permission.As such, there is no confirmed date as yet for the start of the project

Good luck with that, compulsory purchases of land and houses in London....

Held to ransom, this is a pipe dream.

Looking at the state of that pitch they need a new groundsman.

 

[seagull_special]

Apart from reports that they want Defoe in the Jan window ..... shows their ambition does it not ... a 36y/o out of favour striker to get them goals

To be fair, I would t be averse to Defoe coming on loan for the rest of the season.

So the goalkeepers in front of the east stand will be wearing hats then when the sun is out.

Good luck to Palace and their redevelopment plans.

Only When I see the first Yosser lorry turn up outside with a full load of ship lap will I believe that something wonderful is happening.

 

[Mackenzie]

Are we talking architecturally or evolutionary? I think progress is being made albeit slowly, on both fronts.

 

[jessiejames]

If I was the contractor I would want the money up front.

Yeah, cos we were all so friendly back in the 70's and 80's weren't we?

Perhaps there are more twats around today!
Nothing wrong with friendly rivalry, but I find the whole Palace/ Brighton thing rather boring now.
I suppose a lot of it can be put down to the name calling from both sides on social media, these days.
Unimaginative and predictable.
