[Football] Palace have submitted plans for Selhurst Redevelopment

[TWOCHOICEStom]

In that new pic it really does look like our West Stand doesn't it. (except for outer wall) So out of place.

This is the best bit:-

"Palace are willing to rename Selhurst Park to help fund the redevelopment."

I'll start with the suggestions:

The $hithole.

 

[Stat Brother]

And they accuse us of having a lop sided stadium......

You'd have thought the owners of the 6 houses could combine their equity and afford to demolish that monstrosity.

 

[A mex eyecan]

Seriously, is that it?,
it looks only 25% developed, still better that than their normally associated 3% of everything

Should be renamed the Gerald Ratners Stadium

Yes yes I get the joke but Crystal palace must have one of the most middle class surburbon support bases in the country!! As I say most London fans see us as bi-speckled stripy Nigel's ... or is it Brighton fans are really really posh and look down on every one who doesn't live in the utopia which is whitehawk, moulscombe and portslade ??

"surburbon" - is that Romani? Anyway, yes I'm sure all your Purley and Epsom supporters will congregate in the new Westfield Shopping Centre Stand to leave all your New Addington, Croydon, Broad Green and Norwood types in the other three cow sheds...

At least it all looks good though. Your stadium is gradually reminding me of the old Manor Ground, Oxford, an assortment of random stands thrown up when the club think they have a bit of money.

Are you confident you will fill it, given that some weeks you can't even fill your current capacity?

With a nod towards their name for the Amex’ The Wonky Warehouse’

A link to the planning came up on my Facebook page via a Palace supporting friend so I sent in my objection in that it needs to be knocked down and new stadium built. Two high stands makes it look an eyesore in a residential area.
Also mentioned it's money badly invested to increase the capacity by 7k when the gates will reduce by 10k after a relegation season.

Yes ,If you build it they will come .

 

[Giraffe]

Yes ,If you build it they will come .

In the Championship as well? I seem to recall your attendances went down last time?

They will be fine in The Groupon Stadium.

 

[Giraffe]

Yes ,If you build it they will come .

Your Premier League average since 1999 is 24,577
Your Championship average since 1999 is 16,620

That would be a worry if I was funding this stadium expansion.

Don't be ridiculous. They're not going to actually PAY.

 

[Driver8]

Don't be ridiculous. They're not going to actually PAY.

If I was the developer I’d certainly insist on my money up front given their track record.

Maybe it will be the PAY AS YOU GO stadium.

Ha! Yes we have but it's one unified design which fits into its landscape as opposed to your place which will be one Gotham City stand, one supermarket, one restricted view cow-shed, and a nissen hut on stilts.
