After our incredible success on the pitch, I'm sure the board are drawing up plans to build a new stadium. After all, if we want to be a strong premier league club over the next decade, our current stadium needs demolishing. Perhaps a return to our former roots - Crystal Palace park? Otherwise they will need to destroy Sainsbury's next to the stadium, pay them a nice sum and expand our current site.

I would think they would want to revamp Selhurst rather than relocating, I never want to leave selhurst would probably kill the atmosphere if we were in a dome replica St Marys sort of ground R.I.P staffie

If we had a 35,000 capacity stadium our stature would go up and there's no reason why we couldn't compete with the other top London clubs and attract the top players. Our old-fashioned stadium will hold us back eventually unless we modernise it.

The chairman has allready said Crystal Palace Park is a non starter due to all the objections they know they will receive and are resigned to expanding Selhurst Park. Didn't say when as first thing is to draw up plans for the Council. After that other aproval including from Boris is involved so maybe in your kids lifetime.

Where is this to come from without breaking the 'Fair play rules'?

It's the club's ancestral home and personally I believe we should always be looking to relocate there. It makes sense in so many ways.......Maybe when we are a little richer we can grease the number of palms that need to be greased. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith.
