Only by a few points last year, we’re catching up fast. The tide is turning.

Classing the Amex As being a collection of sheds is a bit sh*t don’t you think? If you do then very few sheds in the UK are better.
Classing Selhurst as a collection of sheds is not far of the mark. Granted the withdean wasn’t even a shed and if the Goldstone was about we’d be pushing you for sh*ttest shed in the league ..... but that isn’t the case.
Four points better than us last season doesn’t come close to the distance between our respective stadiums. Selhurst is predominately wooden tip that is very badly in need of updating. The longer it goes on the more it’ll cost in up keep. It will become more of a millstone around your neck in the coming season.

I still find this thread hilarious. You created it to mark the fact that the other zaha thread had slipped down the pages following deadline day (because believe it or not, nobody really finds Mr Tumble that interesting), and yet, this thread has now morphed into a carbon copy of the original zaha thread, somewhat defeating the purpose of this thread's creation.
Loving the “(currently)”. What’s the actual plan and timetable for your decrepit shithole and it’s facilities being better than the Amex ?

The plan currently seems to be spend more than the Amex cost to build a replica of our West Stand.

Nobody finds him that interesting yet your board racked up a 150 page thread on him in 3 weeks
Boris removed me from the thread for having a giggle at it.
This one is now 15 pages strong.

That's a ridiculous technicality. West Ham don't own the Olympic stadium so by that reckoning they are homeless.
Our collection of sheds generates a better atmosphere than Upton Park and Highbury combined - that's far more important to me than how it appears on the Sky cameras. Your mini Emirates sounds like errr a small Emirates. Except for the big games when you all get going on those clappers. I mean.... honestly.

Really?
CPFC 2010 Ltd is a wholly owned subsiduary of Palace Midco UK Ltd which in turn is a wholly owned subsiduary of Palace Holdco UK Ltd. 67.5% of the shares in Palace Holdco UK are owned by Palace Holdco LP, a company registered in Delaware.
Steve Parish owns 17.81% of the remaining shares; Browett and Hosking own 4.95% each and Martin Long owns 2.47%.
It is, of course, possible that all of those four own part of Holdco LP but I think it unlikely that Blitzer & Harris don't own a significant proportion and thus own a significant proportion of CPFC 2010 Ltd.

Says the guy who supports a club who put on pre match light shows and have goal music
If that is what you call atmosphere then you can have it. Or were you talking about the 20 gimps in black hoods who have thrown their toys out of the pram and gone back to support spurs?

Just reading through this thread and this is really the most ludicrous thing that has been written so far. Try doing some basic maths and tell me how far increasing the capacity to 35,000 will change your revenue:wage ratio.
Please show your working.

It’s a brilliant claim to make especially in the same week there has been so much discussion about crowds contributing so little to PL clubs revenue. I suppose they could be selling match day tickets in the new stand for for £1000 each.

Last season we had the worst start to a Premier League season in over 100 years owing to a terrible managerial appointment,
Real football fan ,eh?
The Premier League only started in 1992, your abysmal start last season was the worst ever, any when, anywhere.Don't sell yourselves short.

Number of new seats x average price of new seat = increased revenue. It's between £5m-£10m a year when you factor in hospitality. Shall I go on?

Minus enormous cost of building new stand. It'll be a long time before it turns any sort of profit in real terms.

Christ how pathetic can you get. I'm not a real football fan because I said Premier League rather than top flight? Lucky I'm not as pernickety as you otherwise I'd be inclined to point out that you don't seem to know how punctuation works.
You're right it was the worst start to a top flight season for a hundred years - we sacked our manager, our whole pre-season was totally meaningless and we had a horrific injury crisis. We still took four points off you and finished above you though hahahahahaha
