This post has been merged from a topic called 'Stadium plans' by bexleydave Originally posted by est1905 But none of this is proof Palace is difficult to get to. Only that the idiots didn't do their homework for 5 mins before leaving home and actually do what normal people do on an unknown journey. You know, plan the route? Jeez I have seen countless Northern Monkeys getting off the train at Crystal Palace on a matchday. That taxi office next to the station must be a little goldmine The Council Planning Officers are civil servants, and not elected. Thus nicely swerving accountability at the ballot box. Taking any discrepancies to court, will only incur costs, additional delay (any verdict will doubtless go to appeal, up and up the court system) and be counter-productive. Palace just have to play hard-ball at the negotiation stage. Palace have done well to get this far. Sweetening the Council is par for the course. Let's not fck it up, and end up like Coventry did. I disengage, I turn the page.

Edited by kenbarr (14 May 2019 7.04pm) A season or two ago a few drunk and rowdey Southampton fans were being loutish and aggressive in the street. I was walking behind them from Norwood Junction to the ground. A bus pulled in right near us across the road from the clock tower. One of the morons said to his mates look, this one goes to Crystal Palace. So they all jumped on. I thought about telling them......for about 3 seconds!

Edited by kenbarr (14 May 2019 7.04pm) I got the overground from Wapping recently and for some reason it decided to go to bloody Crystal Palace instead of Norwood Junction, where I wanted. I thought about the number of times that I'd laughed at opposition fans ending up there. Anyway, decided to get a cab to take me back to East Croydon and there are no black cabs anywhere to be seen. It begins a light drizzle so I'm getting the hup, refusing to get a mini cab from the office near the station for some unknown principled reason. Eventually, a light comes out of the gloom and I hailed it. Now, I've been in denial for a few years now about getting my eyes tested, but I've always blamed things not being made clearer these days. I vowed to go to Specsavers though on this occasion because, instead of hailing a cab, I realised that I'd hailed a hearse. I'm quite glad that he didn't say "hop in the back". I hate Crystal Palace Station. Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.
