This again? I'd quite like an improved ground before I die. I doubt my grand children would see any efforts to build at the park realised.
The park has already gotten the go ahead from Govt for the athletics with funding. As I said before smart business people would try to jump onboard that but we do not have that running our club. Originally posted by est1905
Simon Jordan lied about buying Selhurst Park himself. He's hardly in any position to speculate on its redevelopment and dress it up as fact.
He has nothing to gain by making false claims and was as a former owner involved in process of looking into ground development also from the area. Yes he may do the main stand but whats the point it makes no sense when you look at the cost.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

I dont suppose John Textor is feeling on top of the world this morning. If the cost of the stand is to be spread amongst shareholders, either we need new shareholders via dilution of existing (to raise the alleged £45m that any lending bank will want to see) or its a no go. Today, I can't see anyone picking up the Palace to continue at Selhurst. In fact, unless it's a steal (say £50m) I can't see any potential investor coming anywhere near us. Its all such a tangle. Let's face it, building our new stand is going to cost much more than was originally budgeted. No wonder we're looking for more financial support. Reports today say that Everton's new ground is already £150m over budget.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

With the investment over at Crystal Palace Park happening why the club are not trying to jump onboard is madness and again showing we need some one else in charge. Thought we had already tried this and the planning was rejected because local residents were in uproar. Refurbish the park and building a football stadium are completely different things, not as simple as 'jumping onboard'

The club’s accounts published recently contain a statement from SP that work will commence before the start of the 24/25 season. He doesn’t mentionwhether that’s dependent on PL status. Interesting few months coming up….. I thought it was announced sometime ago, that work will start in May 24.

Which has inspired me to the following pale imitation: Parish, the mighty visionary at the heart of the soaring mighty towers of the Palace to come, nea the Eiffel Tower of south london...it's very difficult to out Willo Willo, in fact it can't be done ..

Some while ago, I was on the train to the game, coming from Caterham, a few rows behind me I could hear some kid chatting to her dad that she could see the Eiffel tower, she had seen pics of it at school & knew what it looked like, she was looking at the communication tower on the top of the hill, which to be fair is a similar shape.

Very poor when you see some of the clubs above us. I think we are hoping to move up to around 14.
