After our incredible success on the pitch, I'm sure the board are drawing up plans to build a new stadium. After all, if we want to be a strong premier league club over the next decade, our current stadium needs demolishing. Perhaps a return to our former roots - Crystal Palace park? Otherwise they will need to destroy Sainsbury's next to the stadium, pay them a nice sum and expand our current site.

I would think they would want to revamp Selhurst rather than relocating, I never want to leave selhurst would probably kill the atmosphere if we were in a dome replica St Marys sort of ground

....keep your feet on the ground! one stand at a time needs rebuilding, perhaps lower pitch if possible.

I think that's the way top flight football is going unfortunately - success does come at a price. If we had a 35,000 capacity stadium our stature would go up and there's no reason why we couldn't compete with the other top London clubs and attract the top players. Our old-fashioned stadium will hold us back eventually unless we modernise it.

We dont need a 35,000 seater to compete were already competing its all about playing the football. MK Dons and Boro aint exactly bettered themselves with a nice ground surely its more about the football

The chairman has allready said Crystal Palace Park is a non starter due to all the objections they know they will receive and are resigned to expanding Selhurst Park. Didn't say when as first thing is to draw up plans for the Council. After that other aproval including from Boris is involved so maybe in your kids lifetime.

If we are going to attract better players we have to pay more money in wages let alone transfer fees. Where is this to come from without breaking the 'Fair play rules'?

As well as Steve Parish, Tom Hosking is involved with the project.

Same here.

If being in some soulless bowl is what's needed to be in the top flight then I would prefer not being in the top flight.

Well, I can't say I share the same sentiments.

Sod the ground, I want Palace in the Premiership over whether I like the atmosphere at the ground or not.

It's the club's ancestral home and personally I believe we should always be looking to relocate there.

It makes sense in so many ways.......Maybe when we are a little richer we can grease the number of palms that need to be greased.
