The outside of that old stand is beautiful and it's a listed building. Inside the views are similar to the Arthur with stanchions but it is much generally better maintained.
I thought when the first 2 yanks came in that £50m was ring fenced for the stadium? Certainly remember seeing that on the press release. Crystal Palace: Deal agreed with US investors Harris and Blitzer

They did and I remember SP saying the ground had to be improved to hit regulations.
A list of works which had been done from SP own mouth.
Floodlights (around 5m)
New Gantry
They had to improve some of the wheelchair etc access.
Seating was replaced
Electronic boards
Roof cleaning/repairs
Multi pitch replacements
All the planning etc costs as well.

I think it would make sense to fill in the corners first (especially between the AW and Holmesdale) and build an extra tier above the Whitehorse Lane Stand. Those 600 extra seats in the corner would be an ideal area for a singing section and with perhaps reduced admission prices to keep the younger supporters happy.

Personally I think they should scrap the glass palace and start again with something far more basic. If they can get another 10k in the ground it will pay for upgrades.
This plan is unaffordable and always will be.

It is a difficult time for all con̈ected to CPFC. Results are poor to say the least and there is growing unrest and a level of mistrust developing re ownership even amongst the most loyal and level headed supporters.
Football has changed,supporters that attend games at Premier and Championship level and the cash they develop for the FCs are it seems whilst significant less import than income developed from TV.
Of course much of the daily nitty gritty re finance and affairs of the Fcs should remain behind closed doors. Fans ,with no disrespect, will never fully understand the issues facing owners and managers of the busines as they will never have sufficient information to do so and even if we did the vast majority of us would struggle.There will be some,of course, who succesfully run businesses of some size will be better equiped than most.
Clearly demanding money to be thrown at everything is not the answer. The "pot" just isnt big enough. Critisising player sales is understandable but thay ALL are looking after themselves like most of us they may feel some loyalty to current employers but ultimately try to get best deal for themselves and their families based on the money ,where they can live and job satisfaction . Clearly we have sone pkayers who have weighed stuff up and stayed probably with less pay than availabĺe elsewhere. Others are just mercenries and were and will be bound go
All that said i would strongly recomend that Mr Parrish and the other directors to be far more transparent in an attempts to clear the air and help fans understand and get to grips with the situation.
Priorities, in aðdition to making a decision on who is to be coach and remove all speculation.
Who does actually control the club.
Ask each shareholder to advise whether they intend to stay around long term ( doubt that will happen)
Provide an honest and detailed statement with a realistic timetable regarding the redevelpment of Selhurst Park generally and specifically the already publish plans for the new main stand. about.
Confirm that any leveredged buy out is resisted with all vigour.
Get the trust backand thus improving match day atmosphere may help improve results

The club are apparently awaiting permission from the council regarding drainage before they can commence further work.
I have no idea why that has taken so long, but it does make the promise of more work in November seem a little optimistic.
Can I ask a genuine question.
I’ve not followed this thread properly as its on its off, its on its off etc and to be fair I lost interest.
But could somebody please just tell me… is this actually happening. Without reading nearly 100 pages of thread. Is this actually being built at the moment and going ahead as planned. Thanks

To be honest dont remember hearing much about spuds or arsenal new ground at the time . I got updates from guys who was working there . they did already say that the Piling would start in November awhile ago
