They are council tenants and beyond getting another council house nearby, I'm not really sure they should be getting anything other than moving costs. If they owned the houses - well and good. Precisely. There's gripes in the report about them not being kept informed about the club's plans (etc etc). Well the detail of the club's plans are of no relevance to them, beyond the "plan" by which they are given another house somewhere else subsidised by the council tax payer.

Spent many a lunchtime in the Whitgift Centre and Fairfield Halls gardens. Now only drive through the place to get to Selhurst. My future son-in-law came to Montpellier game, he seemed horrified at Croydon and he is from the NW I'm not sure why the club would want to relocate to a dump like Croydon.The place has been ruined. It would just be swapping one dump for another.

Having a Premier League football team with a new ground and a totally new development around it - shops, park, hotel, catering could massively improve the area - which is, as we all can see, a bit rubbish.

Need new location. They can suggest many things but you have to deal with the real world you can't really do anything transport wise and the cost is not worth it for one stand. A lot of this is all about SP not what is good for the clubs future which is a new ground is required and it needs to happen soon to try be selected for Euros as one of the grounds plus costs are rising.

A new ground in London, ten minutes walk from THREE mainline railway stations, I don’t think so

Have you ever been to Selhurst? Seriously? Because about the one thing it doesn't have an issue with is public transport. Trains and buses all over the place. As for cars and parking, well, policy these days is to try to discourage driving but unless you're going to go well away from the Selhurst area (outside the M25) you're going to have the same issues with traffic volume wherever you are. And I don't think many of us would want that sort of relocation. Options to me are 1. Liverpool (which is what we're doing essentially). Rebuild the existing stadium stand-by-stand and keep the home we all love or 2. Tottenham (rip and replace on the same site) which, given the likely cost, is probably an even less attractive option than 1. Option 3, the totally new stadium on a totally new site is, for me at least, by far the least appealing of all. That, admittedly, is just my personal taste.

You are delusional the transport is awful. I have used public and my own transport. When we was in Championship I booked a box and parking spot I had to turn up 3 hours before to get in and it still was not great. If you live just up the road may not be an issue or a few other places in London but otherwise terrible. This is why you even hear players etc mention about it and Sky people say how terrible it is. I met up with friends and they even said about how awful the transport was they have been to groups all over the world. On paper it may sound good 3 stations etc but its not and really is not fit for disabled people. Its a limitation of the area.

When I lived in walking distance of the ground, I suppose it suited me fine, but football is a different game now. You have to grow as a club or you sink. Ultimately, Selhurst will be a ball and chain to our progression.

Selhurst is serviced by Selhurst, Thornton Heath and Norwood Jn stations, all walking distance. Parking is fine. If you get there between 1pm and 2pm (for a 3pm ko) there is always spaces in Sainsbury.
