    Importantly, looks like Bromley Council are onside.
  • nollynolly
    how much is the capacity?
  • ValleyGaryValleyGary
    says 40,000 but may begin at 25,000

    may aswell be 10,000 and save a few quid
  • RothkoRothko
    40,000 which they've got no history of getting even in the Premier League
  • RothkoRothko
    Of course this will all come to nothing if Spurs get the Stratford site, which I suspect is why Palace have come out now
  • BubbleBubble
    They could call it the Echo stadium ........ In the words of the Great Michael Slater that is "pie in the sky"!
  • olsterolster
    i think, if it goes through it would mean loss of the pool. one of the only 50m pools in south london.

    not cool.
  • RothkoRothko
    It also looks a lot like Brighton's new stadium

    Plans all look good to be fair. But that's all they are.

    Apparently they asked the fans what they wanted, and got the usual response of no corporate bowl. What did they get? A bowl with GAC on the roof, magic!

    A 25k ground with room to expand for 40k if we or Brighton buy it off of them seems sensible.
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    It will be 25k, with the ability to increase to 40k
  • sam3110sam3110
    I'd love a corporate bowl if I was them, beats the shathole they have now, history or no history!

    The plans include a new indoor aquatic centre.

    A few of the new ones have had an extra tier or corners filled in, nothing major. You don't know what the future will hold so it's worth saving money and doing the foundations just in case.

    Can someone explain Greenwich Leisure's involvement?
  • nollynolly

    It'll give Henry somewhere to hold his Target 40,000 meetings.

    They run the National Sport Centre, their not owned by Greenwich Council anymore though
  • nollynolly
    nothing club.

    Cant believe they will be allowed to build in the park like that. Crystal Palace park is actually quite nice.

    Surely there is some derelict land out towards Purley etc where they could build something?
  • mistrollinginmistrollingin
    next to the ann summers distribution centre!

    looks like it has all been thrown together in a rush, no real certainty about exactly what they intend to do, just a few soundbites. Would imagine that they want to go there, but the plans submitted look like a "placeholder" for an intention, nothing more than that for now. Makes perfect sense that they put the plans out there, but a long way to go before it becomes reality. The plan for who funds it, in the current economic climate should be interesting !

    Palarse have a pot to piss in, so will ride Tottenham's back for funding.

    Looks like it's a KSS design, same people who drew up WHL expansion plans.

    Why would Tottenham help them? For the plans they mention on the website, they need Tottenham to lose the Stratford bid.

    Looks very nice...

    Can just imaging M*llwall running riot and ambushing Nigels in the park post match!

    haven't they already got an 'aquatic centre' under the holmesdale end?
