The redevelopment of the Main Stand at Selhurst Park is moving forward as Crystal Palace fans finally start to see some progress.
The start of the summer saw six houses on Wooderson Close knocked down to free up space for construction to begin, and it is now starting to advance.
@Janerz86 – a Crystal Palace fan local to Selhurst Park – popped down to see the latest, and shared four new images of the construction work on X (previously known as Twitter).
What are YOUR thoughts on the new home kit? 🤔
I would prefer the sash not to have white gaps, but still quite happy with it 😍
Majority of Fan Zone removed as construction advances at Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace have now removed most of the Fan Zone as construction advances behind the existing Main Stand.
A foundation has been laid to construct a temporary hospitality zone in the meantime, while another image shows the ground where one house on Wooderson Close stood now completely levelled out.
There will be no friendly at Selhurst Park this summer amid the ongoing construction works, which are expected to be finished in early 2029.
It is unclear what sort of Fan Zone supporters can expect by the time our first home game of the season comes around on Friday 28th August – a clash against Manchester City – but we assume Crystal Palace will attempt to make it as similar to the previous site as possible.
For those unaware, Friday 28th August also marks the day of the UEFA Europa League draw, where we will find out our eight opponents for the league phase of the competition.
Where do you think we can finish in the UEFA Europa League next season after victory in Leipzig? 🤔
If Nottingham Forest can reach the last four while in a relegation battle, surely we can at least make the final? 👀
The Main Stand development project has certainly taken some time to get going, but it’s great to finally see some progress being made – even if the job is set to cost over double the £75m fee Crystal Palace initially expected it would.
Hopefully, there will be no more red tape to clear, and all goes to plan between now and the early months of 2029.
