Originally posted by kev64 The obvious choice would to redevelop the whole of Crystal Palace Park Stadium area. Incorporate our academy and training pitches within a smaller running track type Arena and have a main Football Stadium etc etc much like a mini Olympic / Man City style village set up.

Originally posted by Ginger Pubic Wig There's no serious hope of CPP though, wonderful thought that it is. I reckon we could hit 40k if the plot of land were a brownfield site and we were creative. Two tier Arthur but shallower than what we have so that the residents' skyline isn't messed up. A more modest version of the main stand plan (assuming residents / sainsbury couldn't be dealt with) Oh...and if we can, dig deeper. I know that can be expensive. Buys us some more capacity maybe. Look at all the difficulties we seem to be having with agreeing a few pedestrian crossing to an existing location. Relocating would somewhere new in Croydon would be take decades with our local authority.

True but maybe sooner or later we should be looking beyond Croydon’s boundaries ( I don’t mean as extreme as the MK Dons scenario)

Buy back the land from Sainsburys? Surely if the store isn't doing that great they would be open to offers? And we could have an Eagles petrol station!!

I would have thought that in current climate we might be in a better negotiation position now regarding the small pice of Sainsbury land .

I wonder if we have ever had a really hard push to get the Croydon Sports Arena site and develop that? Parking would be a pain, but it is already. The footprint, if you include the bit right up to the tramline, looks plenty big enough. I know Noades looked at that area. I wonder if this lot have. Am I wrong? If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

There was a ready made stadium in MK, thinking about it there is one, albeit dilapidated, waiting at CPP
