This post has been merged from a topic called 'Stadium plans' by bexleydave Originally posted by est1905 Maybe Boris could overrule the LDA and push for the Crystal Palace site to be redeveloped? He has a track record as London Mayor for ignoring NIMBYs and getting progress done. There is little point in keeping CPP as it is when it is just full of dog s*** and used syringes. Who wants that? Its obvious the local residents don't want a football club but if first plans are simply put in place to just do SOMETHING with the site then maybe the local football club moving there would be less terrifying to them if they also knew that the entire infrastructure of the area would improve, house prices would go up, all the latest available sound proofing from the stadium on matchdays to be installed to protect residents peace, park and ride systems put in place. A ban on a certain number of cars in the area on match days. To me all this sounds attractive if I lived up there but sadly there seems to be so much opposition from so many different people. Will never happen I know. He would only do stuff that is going to benefit him politically. Amongst his first actions of Mayoral office were to scrap the Crystal Palace Park tramlink to Croydon and to scrap the extension of the Congestion Charge to the Chelsea area. Palace's cash turnover is healthy enough, but we don't have spare cash to spunk on a stadium project. Once the Yanks got cold feet, that effectively pulled-the-plug I disengage, I turn the page.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Stadium plans' by bexleydave I've given up caring about any stadium plans. By the time Parish starts building the new stand, or finds a site to build a completely new ground, I shall probably have died of old age. But it is sad to see the decrepit old Crystal Palace athletics stadium slowly rotting away, what a missed opportunity by Bromley council to regenerate the whole area, and it would have been great to see the Palace going home.

I agree, anywhere near the Purley Way as has been suggested would be a disaster with the already rammed road network in that area. The old athletics stadium would be a great location to build, is close to the existing stadium and would be a fantastic boost to the economy in the area. We could then sell part of SP off to Tesco. That’ll piss off Sainsburys. The only issue I see is that we would probably never own the land so we would have to persuade the Council to grant a long leasehold interest, say 999 years

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Stadium plans' by bexleydave A slightly provocative point. But if Sainsburys only own a bit of the car park, then Palace own the rest of it ? If Palace own the bulk of the car park, could they not close it to Sainsburys customers ? Just thinking out loud,.... I disengage, I turn the page.

With Parish it's always someone else's fault that he can't progress his gothic plans. In the final analysis it was all smoke and mirrors...

Apologies...there must be a more recent thread dedicated to the stadium but I can't find it. I tried. What about our Yankee investors get some major spend going on that site in Croydon opposite where the Vue cinema is...have a retractable 4g pitch, create an American football team, a rugby league team, and a rugby union team. And, of course, Palace. The proposed Westfield development there just fell through. Could be a magnet for thousands to go to to Croydon each weekend, have some good retail alongside. Bishbashbosh If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.
