The topic of Selhurst or move has been well thrashed out here already.
My take is we will press on now with the impressive new stand and face lift at Selhurst. We will remove the gantry on the Arthur, adjust the White Horse and fill in the space between the Arthur, Homesdale and New stand.
TV cameras will look onto a very dated Arthur, so we may (wishful thinking) do a very simple facelift even a kind of cantilever roof to eliminate the stanchions and angle the roof up a bit..
We will end up spending c. £150-200m. (of shareholder funds apparently.)

Then the future dream!

If we continue to solidify our Premier status and a European breakaway super league does not materialise, and (BIG if) if we were ever to find a multi billion investor with designs on creating one of the best ever sporting facilities in South London, well then we could move back to Crystal Palace national park, spending say £1-2 billion on creating a 40000 seater stadium surrounded by many attractive bolt ons. (Comprehensive state of the art sports centre, sports clinic, shopping centre (repeating the original Crystal Palace style at the top of the park), improved transport links, hotel, huge underground car park and a very green park overhaul.
With a very ambitious positive plan and a huge investment, I would imagine that with the right positive vibe, even the NIMBYS could be persuaded.
I hasten to add that this dream is way off reality, but would probably ensure that by then if there was ever a Super League, we would be part of it.

Because the main contractor (Buckingham Group) have gone tits up.

Edit-just seen your post above saying this.

I think 40000 capacity is probably the upper limit for what I shall call second tier premier league clubs, of which we are one. If you want to move up the food chain, then any new ground should have a capacity for 60000+. We are currently the only ‘big’ club south of the river, so with West Ham, Spurs, Arsenal all having 60000 grounds, then we should be looking to cement our status with a similar capacity. As the saying goes: build it and they will come. But of course this is all decades in the future!

I took a walk down the river at Fulham the other day. All the construction fencing is still up, the river walk is still closed, and I saw that no one is using the stand on MoD. There was no sign of any works going on and it was mid week.
When we push on with the new stand and ground improvements, hopefully including a roof lift for the Arthur (Stevie when you read this!), we must learn from whatever is holding up Craven Cottage to ensure we dont get those sort of delays.

p.s. how about offering padded seats for season ticket holders in the Arthur. These days with the old joints stiffening up on most cold days, it would be a much loved comfort.
And while im on it, how about those overhead heaters some grounds have!!

I am.still.in the camp that says this will never happen - any of it.

So why is the Fulham stand still not opened?
