Selhurst Park (Crystal Palace)

Firstly i am not a Crystal Palace fan but i have visited this ground on lots of occasions as an away fan seeing them play Ipswich Town. I have been to alot of grounds so ive seen some really nice ones, and some real stinkers. Selhurst park is a stinker. How this can be seen as a top half championship/ bottom half premiership football stadium beats me! It was built in 1924 which shows just how old it is and i think they have touched the away section since then. They have two modern stand behind each goal. One of them is a two tiered stand which is a big new modern stand named the holmesdale stand. Behind the other goal there is a Smaller new stand which is one tier high ...  Read the complete review

My home Selhurst Park. The greatest footballing ground in the world. Selhurst park, home to the best team in the world, Crystal Palace FC, holds a capacity of around 26,300. It is packed to the rafters on every matchday ( NOT ). 07/08 we average a mere 16,000 fans per home game. The main reason of this is the pricing of tickets, Simon jordan has continued to set high prices and palace have the most expensive tickets in the Championship. Selhurst park is the 31st biggest football stadium in England. The ground was opened in August 1924 and has provided top level football for many years and hopefully for years to come. Selhurst park is situated in South ...  Read the complete review

Selhurst Park is the home ground of Crystal Palace Football Club who currently play their football in the English Championship, the second tier of football after the Premier League. I have visited the stadium on numerous occasions because it is quite close to where I live, the tickets are relatively cheap and when they were in the Premiership a few seasons ago you could see some top quality matches and view some of the best players in the world, great stuff! I'm actually a Millwall supporter and have been with them to away games at selhurst and the atmosphere has been tremendous, generally its quite good at most games with the bulk of the noise coming from the bottom ...  Read the complete review

Having ventured to many of the Premier League grounds this season I’ve seen the best and the worst. To be fair that hasn’t really been anything in this league that could compare to some of the grounds in other divisions. Trust me once you’ve seen a game at the National Hockey Stadium in Milton Keynes on a blustery February afternoon you’ll think a lot of other places are paradise. The Premier League is fast becoming the be all and end all of football. Yes it’s exciting, the stakes are high, and the rewards big etc but it’s starting to ebb away from the lower divisions where clubs are struggling financially. We’ve yet to see a club go completely under in the ...  Read the complete review

(BEFORE I START I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SORRY. THIS OPINION IS WRITTEN IN THE WRONG CATEGORY, IN THE STADIUM NOT IN GENERAL. I WROTE AN OPINION ON PALACE TOWARDS THE END OF LAST YEAR, REFLECTING ON THE BAD TIMES. I DID NOT THINK IT WOULD BE WISE TO JUST OVERWRITE THAT TOLALLY, SO HERE GOES MY NEW OPINION. THANKS, AND PLEASE DONT RATE ME DOWN TOO MUCH, CHRIS) I do not exactly keep it a secret that I am an Exeter City fan (great result at Shrewsbury!), but I also have a soft spot in my footballing life for Crystal Palace. I believe that people should be able to support at least two teams in their life. First you must always have a soft spot for your local ...  Read the complete review
