Although i fear it"s because he has been ousted by his own party- and is a loser now- but glad it dropped none the less! You aren"t going to tell us your first team is City are you mate?

How could the club let that happen? Oh well, you know best I'll be back in 3 years to say told you so.

Originally posted by Spiderman Nearly agreed with you CP but I think a 2 tier main stand and Whitehorse would be sufficient. Apparently the Whitehorse foundations are suitable for a 2 tier already. Problem with this is fitting in the lucrative hospitality boxes As long as we break the magic 40 k i will rubber stamp 2 tiers!

Problem with this is fitting in the lucrative hospitality boxes They’re being moved to new stand. So Whitehorse could go 2 but don’t forget pitch is being lengthened. But if you go back over Sainsburys then it would work. Would deffo be a light issue for houses on White horse road. But in principle great idea

Please a old man is allowed to dream of the good old days , but yes we need 35 to 38k ground to compete

The club obviously read the false information and scepticism on Palace websites. It will come, I'm sure of that. I think I predicted it will start by the end of the year/ beginning of next. Let's see.

With new stand our crowds would be the same as the weed ... 30k a week, but big games would easily get 35, or more, all those fair weather supporters in Surrey you see.

[Link] The potential was always there, can’t see that has changed. Haven’t checked the facts, but I’m pretty sure Palace cracked forty thousand twice in the old Div 4. That was Peterborough H Millwall. H. Which is still a record . Just checked and Millwall was a record but two thousand under 40 thousand . Peterborough close behind. Still remarkable. And attendances in higher div proved the point. Pity no owner has ever really made the most of that potential,. Or maybe more to the point would be a pity the club has never been helped to make the most of the potential. Edited by Putitout (22 Jul 2022 3.42pm)

It would be great to have a ground capacity of 40,000 but that would still bring in a lot less than the cash we get from Sky. 40,000 x 19 games x £30 might bring in £22,800,000 versus the £75,000,000 that we get from the top 15 placing. Having said that I would prefer the 40k capacity to the current 24k as we might be able to afford more than the few people we currently have serving the burgers and beers. Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

I would like our ground to be modelled on F.C. Copenhagen at the Whitehorse end,Large corporate area above seating.Old stand like plans at present, which then just leaves the Arthur to sort, maybe put a tier on top in time.

They cannot put a tier on the top of the Arthur as it would take all natural light from the Park road houses. The only possibility would be to 'dig out' the bottom of it and put a cantilevered tier in on top at no more than the present roof line. A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers
