Went to the annual beer festival at Crystal Palace on Saturday, it was a great event, good vibe also helped by their FA Cup win. The stadium especially the Holmesdale end is so much improved since my last visit with QPR in the 1980s. Just sort of shows how much when you invest in stadium and facilities it must pay back, I know they are an established Premier League club and the money has no doubt helped, plans for new stand as well I understand. Mate says it holds about 24,000 and plans to expand, they don't seem so constrained by the footprint of houses being hemmed in so much like us, but it sort of shows what can be done. |  | | |  |

Palace have been in the Premier League since 2013/4. For a good percentage of that time we’ve languished near the bottom of the Championship. We are worlds apart. |  |
| Scooters, Tunes, Trainers and QPR. |

They're not overly happy about the parade though. No open bus-top parade through Croydon as it was deemed more dangerous than Gaza. |  | | |

We're world's apart because they kept perspective from day one and didn't start to think that they were bigger than what they actually are, and have remained humble to this day. We thought that we could achieve at breakneck speed by signing dross like Barton etc on egregious salaries, with no sell-on value. When Pulis wanted to do the same and bring in the likes of Etherington etc, Parish refused. They've got there incrementally.
For Joel Ward, read someone like Bradley Orr. They got promoted through the play-offs and kept the majority of that squad for their first few years in the premier league, unlike us. Their aim at that time was to ensure that they kept as much of the premier league's largesse within the club, always mindful of relegation, and not in the pockets of mercenaries with no affinity to the club which is all that we achieved.
Lastly, to show how they have remained humble as a club, their sesaon ticket price points for the season that concluded yesterday: circa £550 to £750. There is no way that our club, with misplaced hubris seemingly oozing in its DNA, would have held the prices that low, if we were in the premier league for as long as Palace.

Worked there for about year doing work underneath the Holmesdale end.
There’s an enormous car park behind the main stand which gives them ample place to expand.
Sadly we don’t have that space. | | | |

Most of the car park belongs to Sainsbury's. | |

I’ll take your word for it . Club workers and officials and construction workers were the only allowed in when I was there and it was completely separate and fenced of from the adjacent Sainsburys. | | | |
