£50m to be spent on Smellhurst.....

[albionite]

Croyden ?

Give yourself a pat on the back for being a clever gimp.

 

[Se20]

Will it be a stand by stand redevelopment, for that money I assume it will be?

Will be.
Doing a Anfield , building up and over the Old Stand first, so there won't be a reduced capacity.

Likewise

All piss taking aside what are the plans? I'm guessing the Holmesdale stand is staying as it is and that each stand will then be rebuilt one at a time, or are they planning on doing the work all at once? what about the Sainsbury's?

Old Stand first apparently, then the Whitehorse , move away fans into there, then the Arthur.
No timescale ATM, but hope something's announced on the back of the new investment.

Where will the statue for Alan Mullery go?

Obviously you must be very pleased at all these possibilities and your current position in the Prem. Yes, we piss take but, good luck to you. Hope it is spent wisely and you never shaft another business again!

Gonna be black cashmere and diamond drums for the ultras.

Might chuck a higher denomination of coin too.

Thanks.
We have the right people running things, hopefully we never have to see those dark days again.

If done right it could be a good old school stadium, big individual stands ect. Be prepared for the NIMBY'S to make life difficult regarding planning.

More of a figourine, and located in the lower Holmesdale urinals.

That's always a danger, but hopefully we'll get the green light.

Forgetting it's the home of the scum, I quite like it as a good old fashioned football ground, can't argue that there is no atmosphere, which imo has helped them in games, Liverpool a couple of seasons ago for example.think if it was my teams ground, I would be concerned that any development would impact the atmosphere.

I think the danger it not the re development, but getting established in the PL.
Being the underdog suits us,

The atmosphere was awful last time at Selhurst. Some GOON banging a godforsaken drum drowning out everything else.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Bit of constructive building can solve that - look at Fulham. They presumably won't need a massive capacity so it will surely be a case of just upgrading what is there?

Craven Cottage is way, way better than Selhurst. Nice location, great pubs, genuinely lovely old ground (as opposed to an almost entirely disgusting old ground), clean toilets, probably my favourite away ground.

It'll be a real shame if Palace lose the sheds, the lean-tos, the derelict conservatory, the seedy little discotheque & the supermarket that currently appear to make up the main frontage of the place.
