Scheme for Premier League strugglers will increase capacity to more than 34,000

​

Croydon council is due to decide this week whether to give the green light to a £100m plan by Crystal Palace to redevelop its ageing Selhurst Park ground.

​

The project for the struggling Premier League side will increase the capacity at the south London stadium from 26,000 to more than 34,000.

​

The major part of the redevelopment, which is being designed by architect KSS, involves replacing the 1924-built main stand, which currently holds just over 5,600 people, with a new 13,500 seat, five-storey main stand that will feature an all-glass front that draws inspiration from the original Crystal Palace.
