One of the big things for me is our academy - it would be great to stay in the premiership long enough to see some of the new Zaha's and Moses's actually play for us. At the same time I worry that trying to be a mid table club means it will be difficult to blood the young ones... just look at Tom Ince £1m and just 3 games.

Quote topcat at 17 Apr 2014 9.57am It looks likely that the club that spent the most in getting to and trying to stay in the Premiership is going to be the one being relegated. After all the criticism, it seems that Palace's transfer policy has worked. Lets hope we can repeat it year on year. Not quite sure that the transfer policy worked - not the Holloway one from last summer anyway, although it depends on how you look at it. He brought in 16 players to find just a handful that actually made a real contribution ... Puncheon, Chamakh, Jerome ( to an extent) Bannan ( first half of season) and Mariappa. I suppose with so many coming in he had to get something right. TPs transfer window buys were more astute with Dann and Ledley being pretty well ever present since their arrival.

Quote hastingseagle67 at 17 Apr 2014 9.12am Got to admit, I was one of the people who was looking forward to relegation and getting back to a proper division next season, as I thought that the gap between us and the money boys was so vast that we simply wouldn't be able to compete and it would just be a miserable existence.After last nights performance, It showed me how much we have moved on as a club, and can actually compete in this division. I am happy to say I was wrong and now realise that the Championship is not as i thought a better experience, just a different experience.As it looks like we will stay in this division now, i am ready to embrace the new season and am already excited about new players that may come and what upsets we can cause. Will still always be on guard for fans who start to expect us to be instantly successful. If you ever have a relapse and start to believe The Championship is the place for The Palace to be just lock yourself in a closet and take yourself in hand and then have a bucket full of something real strong.

One big advantage to staying in the Premier League is the ability to improve the club's infrastructure. Already we have bought the training facilities and given Selhurst a lick of paint. I know that now we are staying up that the pitch is going to be dug up and undersoil heating installed. Another great feature we've never had. No more frozen pitches! Renovating Selhurst and hopefully increasing the capacity would be next and this would be the biggest benefit to staying in this division IMO. It's Red and Blue that unites us

Fantastic points TonyPeer5. Completely agree with your stated advantages of PALACE staying up and would like to add that hopefully we gonna stay in the PREM for as long as possible and achieve the above developments but my word when/if we go back to the CHAMP what a massive leap we will have made over or at the very least closed the gap on lot's of championship clubs that where 'bigger' than us[ in whatever terms one measures the bigness of a club] Better days are here and long may they continue.COYP Member of the Keith Millen Club.

Every year in the prem is another £60m in the bank. Some will be spent on players, but some must be invested in the ground and infrastructure so that if and when we drop down again we are more than able to compete and have better facilities for the paying punters.
