I never understand the hard to get to argument. London bridge direct to Norwood junction... Or any London station to east Croydon then a taxi or a bus.. There's the overground now too Yes there is no underground tube aside from the west Croydon overground but that applies to most of south London... Many backstreets nearby for parking. I've never seen selhurst as hard to get to...

Having read through the posts here are my thoughts. Driving to Selhurst is now a pain in the backside, and my son and I now get the Train. Last year we drove and arrived at 12.10 and it then took me a further 20 minutes to find a space.You can guess what it is like at 1.30! There are Norwood Jcn & Selhurst Stations that are the nearest. The stadium is now looking shabby and needs a major refit. The Old stand was condemned 15 years ago. Although the atmosphere is fantastic and the fans are near the pitch, Selhurst has had it's day unless serious money is spent and the infrastructure upgraded? For those that remember, Palace played Chelsea at Crystal Palace Park in the 70's. There is already a design for a new stadium away from the athletics one for 40,000. This would also have an Olympic pool to the side. There are 12/13 Bus Routes that go up to Crystal Palace . Some of these stop at various entrances to the park, so you would not have to go up to where the buses terminate. Train Stations surround the Park. Crystal Palace, Anerley, Penge, Sydenham. Gypsy Hill Station is a 10/15 minute walk to the nearest point of the park. Crowds would disperse quicker than most stadiums due to the many exits around the Park. You can build a car park, possible underground to hold at least 1000 vehicles. The list goes on. rub a dub dub who's buying the next round in the Pub?

It's about a 30 minute amble to the ground from there and not stupidly expensive.
