Girls were really up for that and did not want to stop fighting ... Really Nice girls aren't they ????? Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

Simple answer to OP question is - probably Yes - for the foreseeable future anyway. As with any area it is the people that make it and Croydon has more than its fair share of the less desirable elements. However many of these come into Croydon from nearby areas - it is a bit of a magnet in that respect. Many areas of South London have 'improved' over recent years and I expect - well hope - that given time the same could happen in Croydon. In the meantime, as far as I'm concerned, it a place best avoided unless I really have to go there.

that's west Croydon, facing the station. bit rough. Croydon is very diverse with its areas. I have a lot of clients in the area, so in a 20 min. walk from Fairfield I can be in west Croydon,then another 30 min. walk back into south Croydon,which is very different. 10 mins north and you're in park hill,Lloyd park, coombe rd etc. Croydon is already like a mini London and will be much more so once the massive regeneration build is complete. just don't go to west cronx after dark, its great for food shopping, ingrediants etc during the day, but bad in the evening Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents? Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

However when most folk think of Croydon they think of the bit hit by arson and looting a few summers back. North of West Croydon station definitely to be avoided.

They need to socially regenerate that area of Croydon, like they did in Brixton and Streatham. Gentrify the area and get a cafe culture going, a Starbucks and Pizza express, then the middle class professionals will eventually drive out the scum Edited by Pussay Patrol (29 Oct 2015 7.57am) Paua oouaarancì Irà chiyeah Ishé galé ma ba oo ah

Ahhhh (Nostalgic Sigh)..... I miss West Croydon. There was time to get yourself a steak slice and a coffee from Greggs and not miss much of the action. Fair play to those girls... they made a formidable tag-team!
