How, if they are really starting demolishing the old stand immediately, are they going to cope with the boxing event?

Surely, they will need all available seating AND the catering and box facilities?

A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

Same architect?

As I understand it, the later work which would need the stand to be closed will be done in the Summer and might encroach into the first few games of the following season which we will request to be played away from home.

Yep. But fortunately not the same construction company as they went bust and that's why L'pool's stand behind the goal took so long to be finished and Fulham have half their new stand still empty!

Is this really happening at last? There's no update on the club website, which is surprising considering the importance and impact the new stand will have for fans and our club image generally.

Does anyone know more about the status, design (eg has it changed since the original) and development plans they can share with us? Although I can no longer attend matches I remain very interested in all things Palace so, just asking.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

If it was happening this summer work should have started . As SP said there needs to be some prep work under the stand along with changing rooms being moved to under the Holmesdale .
I cant see them starting it without the funds in place along with extras just in case

Next year , maybe .

There won't be any 'irish' building the stand, it'll be all east europeans.

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

Yep, spot on, it will be this time next year construction starts in earnest at the earliest.

not so much Tony Mowbray more Melton Mowbray I fear ... we should put Parrish on the spot about this, some petition demanding clarity, he's prob worked out if he gets his timing right we cam get £200mil for Olise, Eze and Wharton - plus 50 for Guehi, and if we can get replacements for the same price we bought those four we can have our new stand without the first team quality going down too much, but he'd want the cash in the bank first - the silence speaks volumes. Same the way he paid our debts and high wages with the Wan Bissaka sale.

The stand needs to be complete before the next Euro in 2028.

To miss out on maybe being one of the grounds for that would be very poor.

Already many bad decisions but the positives I do believe it will happen just a case of when.

Our clubs is always behind and takes so long to do anything this has to be down to SP.
