Crystal Palace are unlikely to start work on the redevelopment of Selhurst Park this summer.
Palace have been given planning permission by Croydon Council to build a new Main Stand, which will increase the capacity of Selhurst Park from to 26,000 to more than 34,000.
The Eagles had planned to begin construction on the redevelopment, which will cost £75-100million, this summer but that is now unlikely.
Negotiations are still ongoing with Croydon Council over Palace’s Section 106 obligations, as per the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, to fund transport and community improvement initiatives and until that is agreed work cannot begin.
The Club did wish to confirm that a number of smaller scale improvements to Selhurst and the training ground were programmed for the closed season/near future including work on the Holmesdale roof.

September it is then.
Still that's only 9 months after they said they'd start work.
So with a mild winter all will not be lost.

They can’t even get their accounts in on time so don’t hold your breath
I'm not, but I do think it's handy to have a cut out and keep guide to the progress.
After all, the last time this popped up I was reminded that 'all projects of this size have minor blips on the timescale'.
Is it PotG?

Showing that huge forecourt area, there are going to be many houses that need to ne knocked down - assume the residents have all been informed of this . .

A glass front reminiscent of the original Crystal Palace? Well we all know how well it ended for that building.

Where are the burning cars and sad gobshites with home made banners...and a drum.
That's at the real stadium, not this fantasy bollocks project which they have no money to build. And which still looks shit.

I thought the Americans had ring fenced the money for the new stand. Be interesting to see what other improvements they have in mind as you can't polish a turd.
They are offski.
I have no idea if they ever ring fenced the money.
Are leaving the fence intact
Are just leaving a fence.
Or perhaps taking the whole lot away with them.
It's also unknown if Thaksin Shinawatra the corrupt Thai political will take over, let alone whether he's taking over the fence and contents therein, if there is any.

That's a long winded way of saying "I don't know", oh well back to polishing that turd.

please can we all start employing the term "hypothecated",
as that will make us appear, that we are at least treating this $100 project with the sincereity it deserves

100$ sound about right...
