Main Stand redevelopment thread

Announced today a £130m revamp of the National Sports Centre. I appreciate the number of parties involved but should this not have been the answer. Bung in another £100m and would that not produce a better result for everybody particularly the club. I know an old chestnut, I'll retreat.

They didn't want us in there, so it's a non-starter really

I used to live in that part of London and remember being approached by four Ipswich fans who had been walking around the park asking why the football turnstiles weren't open yet...

If it was in the North or Midlands the gov would have thrown a load of cash behind all the infrastructure works and it would have happened

National Sports centre is a much less complicated build compared to ours. They also have very few events there compared to Selhurst Park. It would have made alot of sense for CPFC and the sports centre to join forces, save money and share a revamped stadium at CP but hey ho.
We will see progress bit by bit, it will take 2 years altogether. The work so far has included relocating the away dressing rooms under the Holmesdale Stand and relocating office staff into where the Crystals nightclub used to be. I think the portacabins by the Holmesdale and the row of council houses behind the main stand will be demolished in the summer. Its been a long time coming but it is happening, we just need to be a little bit patient I guess.
 
The swimming pool and indoor facilities building is listed!!
You really can’t make this country up anymore. It has gone to the dogs. Still, looks like the athletics will be repaired and even get a new lick of paint.
Will be interesting to see how the finished product compares to Morocco’s new 115,000 super stadium. Ready in two years from now for € 500m approx, including all surrounding infrastructure and transport connections.
Something has gone horribly wrong here.

The problem with the NSC would be the running track .
We would end up with a stadium like west ham no atmosphere and soulless
