Palace's proposed new stadium.

[Bwian]

Now now Ladyboys, getting a little jealous are we. The weeds record attendance is less than 26000 (hahahahaha) whereas ours is double that.

You have proven yourself to be an ill informed twerp with that comment. Go away you cretin.

Cloud cuckoo land - £££££ - ??

No I don't and I think probably someone else will end up paying for it @ 1p in the pound.
I would think twice if I was a contractor being offered work by them.

grow up !!

Wrong.

36,747

Officially.

what, just like you keep saying your 15/16 thousand extra fans this year are diehards who have been away ? cant have it both ways...unless you are a weed fan it seems

Have you ever heard of irony? From your response it would seem not.....

 

[bustersdad]

Wrong.

36,747

If you're going to have willy battles, go and do it with your children.

Meanwhile, back on topic - the location where they intend to build it is a good one. However, (and let's be fair here) 26,000 fans rattling around a 40,000-seater stadium does seem a little pointless.

The same story, of the one there'll never be able to afford.

 

[brightn'ove]

altho, same question was posed at us when we were attracting less than 7,000 to Withdean.

Now how wrong were they

7000 in a 8/9000 capacity ATHLETICS stadium does not compare to less than 12,000 in a 26,000 seater FOOTBALL ground.

Was there Groupon around then?

historical attendances mean absolutely jack shit when it comes to the ability to draw crowds today

Exactly.
Portsmouth, Charlton, and most northern clubs boast these collosal records attendances, which was just a luck thing if you happened to have vast terraces.

If the Goldstone had been bigger, you could have added 20,000 to some of those 1970's games.

Who cares now. Ancient history.

Of course they can afford it - they have 4 billionaires in charge after all. One of them even boasted they had more money than QPR when Ecclestone and Mittal were involved

Zaha's transfer fee will cover it.

The magnificent 4 who seem rather reluctant to dust off those wallets. Perhaps not enthralled by the cost of rebuilding the rust bucket of a stadium, for an ungrateful 12,000 fanbase.

Exactly - those honorable billionaires with so much money, who didn't see fit to payoff the creditors in full.

I'm never flying with virgin again, even If that picture is an artists impression in the first post!

No, my point was Palace fans want it both ways. But carry on...
