I know there was a previous thread but I cant find it.

Surely it is time to give some sort of hint as to what is going to happen about the stadium? What is now the preferred option? If it is stay at Selhurst when will a design be floated and a planning application made?

I see that Spuds are moving ahead with their new stadium, (looks like a toilet seat). That involves them applying for cumpulsory purchase orders to make space. Is that something planned or necssary at Selhurst?

Yes, I am an agent of Satan but my duties are largely ceremonial

Here we go again. So Palace need to stay up to justify a new stadium? Na, if that were the case then Palace wouldn't have built anything yet. Like the roads, build them and see the traffic come after. It always does and so it will again. It's all aquestion of faith. Those who say we should wait to build have no faith in our club. Hideous!

We’re obviously not going anywhere for the foreseeable future and that’s fine with me.

Do we want a soulless, sponsor-named, plastic stadium in the middle of nowhere? Do we want a 30k plus capacity ground that will spend most of its existence half empty?

No, we have our near century old stadium, where the clubs history has unfolded and legends of the game have played. It’s nearly full every week. It’s our home. If the owners continue to improve the facilities as they seem to be, why would we ever want to move?

(I would make an exception for a move to the National Sports Centre but unfortunately, that’s not going to happen).

Yep

That's the thing, if we are in the Premiership and can increase the average by 10,000 a year to 35k that would bring in approx £4-6 million in season ticket sales which could possibly pay off a long term loan for building a ground.

If Palace were relegated, there is no way we would get 35,000, probably not even 25,000, so where is the money going to come from to pay the loan off? Even if we are never relegated, who knows if the football bubble will burst and the Sky money dry up?

Brighton have spent a fortune on their new ground but there is no way that they could ever afford to pay the owner back unless they are in the Premiership, even with their large crowds. They have an owner who is able and willing (no one knows for how long) to rent the ground to them for just £1 million a year and even then they make a loss and are struggling to comply with FFP.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

If we get a big new ground, what do you think is more likely, we’ll become another Arsenal? Or Another Coventry?
