[Football] Any progress at Selhurst?

Oxymoron

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.

I like the pantomime rivalry at the match but like you I'm fed up with a lot of it. But there were far more twats as you put it in the past, things are very tame now in comparison.

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says work on the huge Selhurst Park multi-million pound redevelopment will start "as soon as possible".

Croydon Council’s planning committee unanimously granted official permission for the rebuild in April, which will see the ageing Main Stand replaced with a modern five-storey stand, increasing the capacity of the ground from 26,000 to more than 34,000.


As well as this, the revamped stadium will also provide better facilities for disabled supporters and bring needed improvements to the ground.

The project is estimated to cost between £75 million and £100 million.

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, but he added that he hoped work would begin "as soon as possible."

Thx PP. if I get their proposal right they intent to spend £100m ( even if it’s the lower number it will overrun) for an extra 8k seats. Say thy get £1k per year per seat, includes food etc, generous for them, then it will take 12.5 years to pay back. 12.5 years. In my business between 2 and 3 is about as long as we would accept. They’ll never do it given how at risk they are to relegation

You'd better get used to it. It ain't going nowhere.

Now see that Fulham are rebuilding one of their stands in New Year. Talk about the hare and the tortoise.

Fulham got planning permission in 2013 for the new Riverside Stand, but have dragged it out for 6 years to a start next year.

Not new exactly, it's another lean-to extension like Liverpool's and the one Palace are proposing.

Grandfather rights mean people can stay crammed together in the existing structure, and only the new bit is actually habitable by normal sized people.

Liverpool’s is 90% a new structure, with the 10% completely altered. We did the stadium tour on the Albion’s last visit. £100m and 20,500 seats.

How does that compare to CP’s planned main stand - budget and capacity?

According to Palace's website "capacity in the new stand will increase from around 5,400 to 13,500", so I'd say they're getting stiffed somewhere if it's going to cost up to £100m.

I'm aware that the Leitch stand at Liverpool was substantially altered, but they didn't alter the seat spacing when they put them back in, and it clearly shows up in photos of the empty stand.

It's interesting. Section 106 contributions were phased out from 2014 and Croydon implemented the new Community Infrastructure Levy in 2013.

Its designed to have a tiered structure whereby the levy is linked to the size and location of the development rather than the previous system whereby the council set out a figure that they wanted and then they basically haggled.

It doesn't make sense as to why S106 negotiations are happening. It should be a standard calculation.

So not only does this shit club kick long serving fans out of their seats, they now propose to kick people out of their homes !

They don't recognize those buildings as homes...





... they aren't on wheels.

Council owned ones as well is my understanding. They need to be physically replaced by new ones somewhere apparently, that is one of the stumbling blocks.

I am happy to be corrected on this... although:

Does not comply with the London plan according to the London Mayor. Reading that report they will also have to fund some transportation issues

Cash up front, naturally.

Well obviously cash would have to change hands... Personally, I think somewhere in the region of a quarter of a mil seems reasonable. Not sure the bank would lend me any more... even on humanitarian grounds, to move away from Selhurst.

Where’s the little Lego jesters with a little drum and tiny little flags sitting behind the goal surrounded by very cross STH Lego men.

Do Lego do little plastic hoodies for their little yellow palace heads?
