Selhurts…

As it says here, Crystal Palace FC are planning to leave Selhurst Park and relocate to the athletics stadium that we currently call 'home'. Clearly us Accies will be keen to learn what timetable of the redevelopment of our theatre of dreams will be – a lengthy one, hopefully, because I don't fancy us being homeless!

All we can do for now is enjoy every game we play on our beloved grass pitch as though it were our last, wring every drop of enjoyment out of the venue and make sure that when our final pitch booking does arrive, we can say we truly appreciated what we had before it was gone.

And at least Barry will be able to take his children and grandchildren to Palace matches in years to come and say: "Of course, you know I used to play here myself in my younger days…"

"Their hand may have been forced earlier than expected though by Tottenham's plans to redevelop it as part of their bid to land the Olympic Stadium following the games next year."

Bloody Spurs trying to bugger up Thursday nights AGAIN!

The caption on the BBC's photo of OUR stadium says: "The National Sports Centre has seen better days". Tell me about it!
