My thoughts for a new Selhurst Park upgrade. I would like to see it based on the glass Crystal Palace if that is possible. Not the whole ground mind you, maybe just a new frontage, and seating to accommodate 40k: so we have 26k, just an additional 13k. Just my thoughts. The crystal palace that burnt down is iconic worldwide and would be a great shape for CPFC's brand. Attachment: paxton-crystal-palace.jpg (120.27Kb)

Frills cost money but a very nice idea if we consolidate our stay in the PL and have a bit of cash to splash. However, I really would like to see us move to a state of the art stadium below the rebuilt Crystal Palace in due course.

I kinda like these thoughts. It has been said before on an old thread during the season. I think whatever happens with us ground wise, it'd be good to have an instantly recognisable stadium. There are clubs that crow about their fantastic new grounds who essentially play in a giant, soulless metal lady part. Let's not build any big metal genitalia to play in.

This was always my dream too. I would imagine this would breeze through planning [assuming the club make the usual statutory bungs to improve the local area]. The only issue is obviously cost; and the fact that the other 3 ends would have to be built to match the facade which would further jack up the cost. I suspect it could be incorporated by way of architect's "impression" of the old Crystal Palace but in a modern ground format. Assuming that impression isn't so subtle it is invisible in a pre-fabricated, standard, one size fits all plastic bowl I for one would be content.

This is a bit dated now and by no means perfect, but a 'Crystal Palace' take on the front end of Villa Park could look pretty good? Attachment: villa-park1.jpg (94.23Kb)

------------------------ These were my thoughts when the design of the new stadium were shown a few years ago. I like the new 'doughnut stadium' but a retro façade of the original Crystal Palace incorporated into the new design was a priority as it would instantly distinguish the ground from many similar 'doughnuts'. I'm still baffled why it was ever overlooked.

Or how about something like this as a façade for a new main stand? Attachment: crystal-palace-hotel.jpg (47.05Kb)
