to quote one poster who stated' I don't understand this at all and it drives me nuts. Crystal Palace is Crystal Palace which is why we are called Crystal Palace FC not Selhurst and Thorton heath FC or Croydon FC or anywhere else FC it really is not rocket science. If you want to buy baked beans you buy a tin which says baked beans on not spagetti hoops or carrots! Edited by PalaceSi (22 Apr 2014 2.44pm)

It begs the question of whether the club is drawing in support from the local community or is simply relying on next generation of exist g supporters. If we rely on people travelling a long way then any stadium must be close to a mainline station or major road junction.

On topic, Although I personally would like us to return to our ancestral home, I cannot see that happening. Unless it does, I want us to stay at Selhurst Park and redevelop.

Edited by PalaceSi (22 Apr 2014 2.44pm) So in that case Arsenal have the wrong name and should move back to Woolwich, Chelsea should move to Chelsea or rename to Fulham II, etc. That's the defining argument from my perspective. We've been at Selhurst for nearly a century. That's much more like "home" to me than the park. I mean it's not a massive problem for me either way, because at the end of the day, the club's area is not restricted to Thornton Heath/South Norwood/Croydon. Streatham, Norbury, Upper and West Norwood, Penge, etc - it's still all local to our club IMO. But our stadium has been "home" since the 1920s. It's a historic ground in the middle of a built up area - the classic English football ground. And it's ours. I wouldn't want to trade it in for something like the Amex, in the middle of a huge park. On a selfish level I love living very close to the ground but tbf when living in Streatham and Tulse Hill I still loved making the short journey to Selhurst, the pubs near the ground, just the whole ritual really. People talking about Selhurst being difficult to get to, as an argument for moving to the park, I don't really get. I don't see how the park is more easily accessible to people. Especially those living south of the area. But also those coming from north of the river and beyond. Ten minutes to Norwood Junction from London Bridge. About twenty minutes from Victoria to Thornton Heath.

Selhurst Park is literally down the road from Crystal Palace and i don't mind staying there, what i don't like is this constant inference that we have no links with Crystal Palace anymore. That somehow we are Croydon's club or as the poster suggested representing Selhurst and thornton heath.

Did read a while back that cp park idea is dead and buried and we were looking at redeveloping sp with a school behind main stand and sainsburys involved to, i for one would like to stay at selhurst as im one of the 16 per cent and with lots coming from south of coulsdon and sutton way i would say about a good third to half of all support comes from croydon and surrounding areas, i would like a villa park type stadia like eastender, four different style stands2,3 and 4 tiers, but as i said, think we are staying so should get used to it!
