Trying to build/redevelop anything within the London boundaries is very difficult these days. Spurs greased a lot of palms to get approval for their stadium and even then it took years to get it done and came in way late and way over budget.
Greasing palms is a part of it that's how the game works why else do you think SP is a** kissing council currently. It always takes years again this is how it is nothing different. People that are not in these industries really don't appear to have a clue how they work Spurs have done nothing new just gone done the route that is required and used smart people to get it done not like SP who really shows at times he either has very little contacts or is too cheap to do what is required. Some one in here had already stated about locations that would be much better for new ground this ground being expanded is pointless cost a lot and then you cant improve the transport links. The other thing is because you have the extra boxes etc doesn't mean you will get commercial money you need to be attractive and people do not find Selhurst attractive also getting to the ground is nightmare former staff/players people in the sport have even said this. Budget what budget regarding spurs its all media talk again anybody in that industry knows you can not set prices it doesn't work like that so you can be give estimate but many factors come to blame Brexit was a big ones in Spurs case.

I'm not blaming the man at all, but at least sell up to people who have a greater LT ambition, rather than using it as a cash generator for personal projects in the south of France. Does he have business interests in France?
One of the biggest mysteries in life is that loud stupid people normally don't have even the slightest inclination that they are stupid. |

So many people who clearly haven't known the club from its pre-Premier League days. You must be about 17 mate. Do some reading. I’m probably older than you pal, which is why I said it.

You are laughably patronising and know no more about the situation than I do.

Thats all you think it would cost? Including buying the land, back handers, architects designs AND the small matter of actually building the bloody thing.

Selhurst Park cannot be sold to developers so a big housing project will not be writing CPFC any cheques for 500m plus any time soon I'm afraid. The site is almost worthless to anyone other than a football club. We all have Uncle Ron to thank for that. He applied for the pitch to be green belt (and got it accepted) so no one can EVER build on what is now the pitch. All surrounding buildings (ie the stands) have a sports and leisure order on them meaning houses will never be allowed to be built there. The site can only be used for sport or leisure. If we built a stadium away from Selhurst we would have very little money from any sale of Selhurst Park to fund it.

You are so wrong lots of developers would want that site. doesn't matter if it is classed as greenbelt this can be sorted and is done fairly amount on many other builds. you pay the right people anything can be done the only time you cant is if its heritage. you have no understanding how construction/development game works at all Edited by grumpymort (21 Apr 2019 6.05pm)

A very close relation of mine sold land in East London only two years ago that has far fewer restrictions on it than Selhurst Park. The developers were willing to pay big for the land and worry about the restrictions afterwards as long as they got Outline Planning. Guess what? Local Authority, later the Borough council, eventually the Home office ALL said no.

We need to sell off current ground/ land and move to another place with new stadium 40-45 thousand will be fine as starting point spending say 350m on that would be such a bonus for the club and really it only bit more then double what they would of paid for just that silly new stand only adding 8 thousand
I don't ever see Palace moving into big club status by remaining at Selhurst Park. I know that this isn't a popular view with many people but it's the overall reality. I can't help but have the impression that by spending big on another stand we are cementing ourselves in as an eventual yo-yo club.....Due to luck and a couple of special players we have bucked that trend recently....but I'm worried that if we stay where we are essentially our best years will always be Premiership mid table as our best result and relegation and top ten Championship as our worst.
