Have been thinking today about stadium redevelopment. If/when new stand is built with its corporate boxes, would it be feasible to add seating to Whitehorse where boxes are now? Wouldn’t need to go higher would you? Yes, good shout spider, and would look great, especially with the new stand next to it!

Wouldn’t need to go higher would you? Could have the upper tier seating, and make the lower tier our safe standing area, see 5 or 6 teams have been granted safe standing permission? The usual suspects, chelski, city, who knew?

Crystal Palace sports centre is getting money for repairs from the mayor, closing that door for those hoping for a return.

We will have to sell the 34K first, of course.

If the plan is to demolish and rebuild the current Main Stand, they could do worse than think about rotating the pitch 90 degrees. Then: The Holmesdale End could extend to become the Holmesdale Stand, with the Arthur Waite End and the newbuild End, plus a brand new Main Stand built in front of the current Sainsbury's monstrosity, using the extra 60 foot depth that rotating the pitch would create at the Whitehorse end. I hope that makes sense, even if it's pie-in-the-sky. Do you know how many times people have suggested that in the last decade? It won't happen.

You've spent the last couple of days repeatedly telling other posters how brainless they are, and generally insulting them in entirely unnecessary ways. That's fine, but a funny joke isn't? It was comical that you accidentally replied to someone after five years. Smile! It's your conduct, on the topic of race (the inevitable daily race obsessive take), that is 'tolerated' on here, not my mundane contributions. You should be grateful that you are allowed to express yourself as you do, in ways that are routinely totally unbecoming of a fan and of our club, rather than berate people who make harmless jokes. Learn to cheer up. Edited by BlueJay (12 Nov 2021 10.05pm)
