Following the thread about building over the Cobbold, Palace just released an update on plans for their main stand…
“The construction of the new stand will look to be built around the existing structure, with the aim of keeping the stadium fully operational throughout the build. The video below demonstrates how this process is envisaged to take place.” |  | | |  |

Would be a dream to have that. Extra 8000 seats!
Come on Gamechanger get it done. |  | | |

This stand is not dissimilar to the stand you see in silhouette in the councils plans for the area. |  | | |

Interesting, thanks.
It definitely won’t look out of place next to the row of portacabins next to it though. |  |

It will contrast nicely with the Arthur Waite Stand, where, I am pleased to report, the loos still get flooded every game. | | | |

The build sequence video is interesting. That’s how to do it if you have the space, the will, permissions and the money.
Their found is going to look quite lopsided, is does Fulham’s, but I presume at the very least the old stand opposite will be replaced at some point. 34,000 should be enough for Crystal Palace for now and they’ll have the facilities for 12 months a year use. |  | | |

‘The opposition changing rooms will therefore be placed underneath the Holmesdale Road stand. However, the basement of that stand is not currently watertight………………’
Let’s hope it’s a dry day when we play there! |  | | |

I’d be amazed if this isn’t the route that we go down, there’s just no way we can shut the whole stand for a season in the current climate. And it’s fully achievable, effectively we have to offer safe access and egress for a few hours every other weekend for 9 months, which as far as large scale construction projects go isn’t a major issue to overcome. My only concern would be the length of time needed to remove and replace the existing stand once it gets to that point with the level of asbestos and unknowns within the existing stand. They’d have to start that process on day one of the off season as there’s a lot of work to do in a few months. One bonus though is that none of our existing changing rooms, media set up etc. are in that stand so that helps to make the process easier. | | | |

Very impressive. But would definitely need Portman Road to be realigned (as was hinted at in the aquatic centre plans), some land taken in what is now the car park and statues moved.
Has the advantage of preserving the place as a four-stand ground rather than a concrete bowl stadium. |  |

Ashton has spoken before about PR being a 4-stand ground and not becoming a bowl. He's also spoken about the new stand being the 'face' of Portman Road and facing the town centre so I could envisage something like this happening.
I expect things will gather pace over the next 12 months, way ahead of original timing. |  |

That is really nice and I suspect that with the owners and whatever we have we’ll be looking at something at least as good as that. It would be transformational to the whole area, and there is certainly space if the council and club work together. |  |

… being arched, and level paved

As much for access and pedestrians than cars.
Suggest it will become more integrated to the ground and new leisure facilities
Will be big a huge step forward for the football ground, the Portman road area and the town.
Football fans do get excited about facility upgrades… me especially! [Post edited 15 Jun 2024 12:49]

the council are sure to agree bigger stand more chance of success therefore more chance of PL and more local revenue and more money for the council for no cost win win for them. | | | |

Oi, the cabin world can be a glamorous place I’ll have you know!
Just put one in up the Training Ground funnily enough. |  |

I think this will start gathering pace once the owners see the Club adapting and establish themselves in the league. If we do a Sheffield united on it .don't think it will happen ..more importantly if that happens. Money will be focused on the training ground facilities and better players.....hope we do get off to a good start. Be great to see a new stand and bring capacity up to 38 thousand | | | |

Wow I'd written this off in my head, feels like they received their planning permission a decade ago. | | | |

I think closing the bottom end of Portman Road to traffic was partially in preparation for it to be built over once the Cobbold Stand was developed. | |

Just watching the euros, the cologne stadium looks great.
Starting higher, so security/ stewards can walk around without getting in anyone’s way then 5 rows of fans
Then wheelchair and carers the whole length and no distractions .
Then about 20 rows to finish level 1-!
Then there is a 2nd level!
Every seat has a great view!
Even disabled seated can see with people standing in the rows in front of them. |  | | |

The German stadiums look spectacular, with the exception of the Berlin one with its running track.
It looks like they’ve really invested in them in recent decades. | | | |

It's what Liverpool did with their new stand too.
The two big issues with developing new stands we have had in the past have been reduced capacity while they are built and the cost of repaying loans. If we can get it done without significantly reducing capacity and without borrowing the money, that makes it a far lower risk (indeed, I would suggest risk-free). Let's hope that this time we can get it done and remain at the top level to keep the stadium filled after completion. |  |
