I'm sorry but I don't agree the transport links are fantastic. One suburban train station and buses that get caught up on the always congested streets around the area. I have bitter memories of attending the centre on weekday evenings and weekends to take my daughter to play netball. Desolate and always took ages. One thing Selhurst does have is decent transport connections. Before Sad Khan bankrupted TFL there were plans to extend the Bakerloo line from the Elephant to Crystal Palace. This is on hold unless a rich PL club comes along and agrees to fund it. TFL and Sad Khan will likely make this a requirement we don't have that money so it would need the government to chip in.

Having previously lived 1 mile away from CP Park for 30 years the transport links and roads are terrible. Rush hour is a joke. To get to a Palace evening game i would take a 2 mile detour to avoid the whole area. I would love CP Park as it is the home of the club, however, the roads/transport are not even the biggest issue. The complexity with the councils - Bromley own the park but don't really care, and i think 3 or 4 other councils are impacted (Lambeth, Croydon and Southwark i think). Then there are the locals who are vocal and well organised. I really think it's a non starter.

no news is most definitely not good news in this case - how much longer must we suffer the eye sore that is the main stand?

As I keep saying this is simply not going to happen until the existing stand is condemned or falls down.

If we had to ground share with anyone I would imagine that it would probably be Fulham as we know their ground is going to be acceptable / in keeping with PL standards. Originally posted by Spiderman

I"m hoping to see two giant cranes at SP by the end of this year, it would be better than a 20 a season striker!

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

I am actually 5ft 10 & manage it OK ( it is a bit tight but I can manage it) also I am by the entrance which feeds up from the concourse two thirds of the way up the stand (no chance of getting wet when it rains) & I sit in a reduced row of 3 people, so easy to get to my seat, easy to exit, close to the bar & toilets with a very good view of the pitch - Happy days - Originally posted by Elpis
