When Parish makes an announcement about infrastructure improvements, first get a very large pinch of salt (a bucket full would be better) and then file them with the 'plans' to build a new stand. There's been no consultation process on this, never mind obtaining planning consent and yet it's supposedly going to be built and operating next year. There always a lot of pie in Parish's sky and past experience says believe it when you see it:

I'm a bit fed up with the Parish announcements.
Last year he was asking us to contact Croydon council, telling them why a new stand at Selhurst Park would be so good for the local area,and I did as he asked.
But I wonder why I bothered, nothing appears to be happening, and if any progress is being made or not , we're not told about it.

bet you lot would fall into a barrel of tits & come out sucking your thumb.

could you not be positive for once?

its a step forward and the idea is the one we all want with academy graduates playing in the first team...we need to offer the kids a better route to 1st team football...this helps acheive this goal surely?

I agree, it would be a step forward if it were to happen, but Parish has got form when it comes to spouting bollox about construction projects. I hope I'm proved wrong but I'm waiting for another reason/excuse as to why it can't go ahead.

Still, at least he'll have his ego massaged by all the sycophants who will say at least he tried.

Fans appear negative because they are always kept in the dark.
There may be things happening behind the scenes, but the fans aren't kept informed, and it feels like nothing is going on.
Parish does not come across as particularly supporter friendly.

i still remember walking around the ground the weekend the “re-united” thing happened seeing fans who had literally brought the t-shirt...think it was a qpr game...could be wrong tho
