I’m confused. Can someone kindly summarise what’s going on please.

[Albion] Amex expansion.
- Thread starter *Gullsworth*
- Start date
Palace has a counter intuitive effect, with some fans avoiding the vile atmosphere inside and outside the stadium. Supporters of both clubs pissed up and looking for trouble.
Nothing. Looks like Falmer Parish Council have regular meetings with the club to discuss any issues. Minutes of Nov meeting said MAY put in plans for Outside Loos Shop and considering increasing capacity by 2500

I think that shows the club are at least looking into putting in an extra 2k seats. It makes me wonder if Tony Bloom would like to have the largest capacity stadium on the south coast and I think 2k extra would achieve that making the Amex bigger than St Mary's?
The view from the back of the north is just fine.
The gradient of our lower tier in all 4 stands is on a par with just about every other lower deck in the PL. It is not more shallow.

The club think there is not enough spaces for their corporate clients, so they are looking at pulling out all the seats in the north stand and replacing them with a bank of corporate boxes as they have looked at the economics.....
Put boxes in and charge £300k a season to companies.
Get rid of the common scum who bitch about flasks, crap food and shitty beer and those who just want to watch the football and not buy the tat in the shop...
All in all it is a major win for the club.
I am all for it.

But for the first time in footballing history - they'll actually make more noise.
Pretty sure Palace sold out last season. We are a few hundred shy for next Saturday’s game.
Yes, and Bramall Lane, Molineux and Kind Power Crisps Stadium.

So we could market it as such for events or perhaps England games?

My concern is Palace’s plan to get Selhurst to 34,000 by about 2050. I don’t want to be arriving at the Amex in 2050 knowing that Palace have a larger capacity god damn it!
Tony should be putting in 5k seats not 2k!!
As well as extending the North and filling in the North East Upper, the way to do this would be to lower the pitch and get rid of the edges extending each stand down row after row.
Simples.
Hugo Rune;9250134 As well as extending the North and filling in the North East Upper said:You could be on to something here makes me wounder if it's a ploy by Tony, Matty and Aron to slowly dig the Albion to Australia after all we would storm the Australian league
While we are on this subject what happened to the hotel planning application that was was turned down by Brighton Council, at the time I assumed it was just a case of reworking the application alter some designs and bobs your uncle planning granted but I cannot recall there ever being any mention since, does anyone know anymore could this have any link to the current Falmer Parish minutes could the reference to toilets be referring to one toilet per hotel room?
The hotel proposal has been abandoned. They'll have other ideas for the land though.
A number of things came together (funding opportunities mostly) to make it viable. Those conditions have gone and it might never be considered again.
Weren't there a special hospital cancer unit as part of the hotel proposal?

A pub would be good - similar to Aston Villa’s ‘The Holte’, which was bought by Randy Lerner, as the official Villa supporters pub.

But what would the gate be if ever we went down?
It might happen one day. Hopefully though not this year (everything is crossed for tomorrow)

Basically we're all having a crack at being architects, Premier League CEOs and thinking about how best to spend Uncle Tony's money.
