Let's hope they don't strike oil.

While I agree with the above, I think there are two points here that it ignores:

1. The fact that Parish is the best chairman we've ever had says as much about the low quality of his predecessors as it does about him. That's not a direct criticism, but frankly, it hasn't taken a lot to exceed their level of performance.

2. More importantly, being the best doesn't absolve you from criticism. Pointing out someone's shortcomings/failures doesn't implicitly suggest you think they've achieved nothing.

At least so far as I can see, the Old Stand rebuild has, thus far, cost a lot of money for no return. That may change if and when construction starts but for now, the jury is out.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Quite agree. Building a new stand would be great. Palace desperately need it to increase revenue. It would be a legacy he would deserve

Do you not think that if a suitable site was available in the general area that we would not be grabbing it with both hands?

As someone who now lives miles away, I was wholeheartedly in favour of a new stadium in a new location, but I suspect that I am not in a majority. Moving away from South Norwood is very appealing to me in itself, but not to those who live very locally or use public transport.

Article about it in The Athletic today but behind a paywall so haven't posted it here.

Red and Blue Army!

Villa have replaced their old stand too, and nobody really noticed, it's just updating, why 10 years of BS and promos of grand visions, there's been more than ample time to fix all the issues, covid or no covid.
