obviously we aint getting any new stand as promised ..... But.... i wonder what other yearly stadium improvements there will be??
Managed to get away with it before due to these plans for stand will add it but with that not going ahead I don't see how they can keep dodging it without punishment.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Stadium plans' by bexleydave Agree, let’s abandon Selhurst and move elsewhere, we must be able to find some rich potential owners that want a premier league team in their town (Wimbledon did). We could become the Wakefield Eagles. Edited by Bearcage (26 Jul 2019 11.49pm)

Anything that’ll have no train stations nearby or any human life with pubs or fast food outlets. The club would have tonsort its refreshments service and probably could withmore profit per hour and employee.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Stadium plans' by bexleydave Always preferred the idea of extending the holmesdale down the main stand side. Would have been a lot cheaper. Seriously can't see us getting a new stand/ stadium with current owners.

The original plan when the Holmesdale was built was for a mini "old Trafford" with 42,000 capacity; all four stands the same & the corners filled in. If my memory serves me right Labour allowed the flats on the corner to have a veto over the planned redevelopment at some council election & then the main stand got blocked & would have only been allowed to be built smaller than originally planned so progress stopped.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Stadium plans' by bexleydave The project of turning Selhurst, into a modern ,better capacity stadium . Has always fallen foul of various Croydon, councils. It’s been going on for years. Why ? Has always been a bit of a mystery.

The project of turning Selhurst, into a modern ,better capacity stadium . Has always fallen foul of various Croydon, councils. It’s been going on for years. Why ? Has always been a bit of a mystery. In Croydon council's defence they refused residential planning permission when the ground was owned by the bank prior to CPFC2010's acquisition - which saved us from the major house developers taking an interest. Also, our history & club culture are more than just "Croydon" - we aren't Croydon FC, our roots are the workers from the original Crystal Palace - technically in Bromley. We market ourselves as "SLaP" not "Croydon & Proud". To compare Croydon council's appreciation of the team to Brighton's is unfair IMHO. (also massively disingenuous to Brighton council, who royalled fcuked Albion for over a decade).

In addition to DC's comments, the council approved the plans and we knew full well, as part of that consent, that we were going to have to contribute to required infrastructure improvements as a result of the increased capacity. Now the US investors have cooled on the whole Palace project, Parish is using a supposed 'problem' with those requirements to put the whole thing quietly to bed. If you want to blame anyone for the lack of progress start with Mr Smoke and Mirrors, not the council.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Stadium plans' by bexleydave Planning permission with huge strings , is not a straight forward permission. And from the clubs point of view could only ever have been dealt with after the full terms of the permission were known.
