My thoughts for a new Selhurst Park upgrade. I would like to see it based on the glass Crystal Palace if that is possible. Not the whole ground mind you, maybe just a new frontage, and seating to accommodate 40k: so we have 26k, just an additional 13k. Just my thoughts. The crystal palace that burnt down is iconic worldwide and would be a great shape for CPFC's brand.

Frills cost money but a very nice idea if we consolidate our stay in the PL and have a bit of cash to splash. However, I really would like to see us move to a state of the art stadium below the rebuilt Crystal Palace in due course.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt!

Any unique identity helps to sell the club. It's branding that can be used to attract business and not the tired old ripping off the faithful that seems to happen at all clubs.

This was always my dream too. I would imagine this would breeze through planning [assuming the club make the usual statutory bungs to improve the local area]. The only issue is obviously cost; and the fact that the other 3 ends would have to be built to match the facade which would further jack up the cost.

I suspect it could be incorporated by way of architect's "impression" of the old Crystal Palace but in a modern ground format. Assuming that impression isn't so subtle it is invisible in a pre-fabricated, standard, one size fits all plastic bowl I for one would be content.

This.

A good architect would be needed though.

Wouldn't want the stadium to look tacky as result of trying to give heritage a nod.

Or how about something like this as a façade for a new main stand?
