511: Crystal Palace's stadium expansion plans

May 4, 2016, Selhurst Park Stadium, South London, England, sunny weather.

Here today, Crystal Palace fans filled the entire stadium.

In the stands, Crystal Palace fans beat the drums and waved flags, as if they were blowing the horn of charge.

Today, we Crystal Palace must step on the corpse of Manchester City to advance to the Champions League final.

At Selhurst Park, we are invincible at Crystal Palace!

There were actually quite a few Manchester City fans who came to the away game today. More than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 fans came to the scene to support their team.

You have to know that Selhurst Park can only accommodate more than 26,000 fans, and only 24,000 seats were opened today. Manchester City people were able to flood in with nearly 3,000 people, which is indeed a lot.

To be honest, the current Selhurst Park stadium is indeed a bit small for the current Crystal Palace team.

After all, Crystal Palace is now one of the top clubs in the Premier League. A stadium that can only accommodate 26,000 people really doesn't match their status.

However, Crystal Palace's stadium reconstruction plan is already underway.

In fact, when Martina and the others acquired Crystal Palace, they had contacted London's Croydon Borough Council and asked whether Selhurst Park Stadium could be rebuilt or expanded. They received a positive answer. , and then they acquired Crystal Palace.

And when the contract was signed, Croydon Council approved the expansion plan for Selhurst Park Stadium at Crystal Palace. After Martina and the others successfully acquired Crystal Palace, Louisa has been dealing with this matter. Otherwise, what do you think Louisa, the CEO, is usually busy with?

This stadium expansion plan is currently being handled by Louisa and Baker, and Tong Yi, the director of athletics, does not have much involvement in it. At present, Crystal Palace Football Club has planned to officially launch the Selhurst Park stadium expansion plan.

Yes, the team is not prepared to push to rebuild, but to repair and expand.

Of course, the overall appearance design needs to be redone, and these things have already been done.

The new stadium was designed by the world's top designers, a team of designers with extensive experience in designing comprehensive sports stadiums and professional football stadiums. Now the stadium will be converted into a six-story grandstand with an overall capacity of 450,005,000 people, the exterior wall structure is entirely made of tempered transparent glass structure, and an arched doorway is designed in the center of the glass wall. In the arch is the symbol of the Crystal Palace - an eagle with spread wings!

And underneath this eagle stands a statue of Tong Yi!

The overall design still has a strong sense of modern technology, which is eye-catching.

To be honest, Tong Yi nodded frequently when he saw the design. He approved of the plan.

It is said that Martina, Louisa and others have already agreed on the stadium expansion plan and have even completed the bidding process.

According to the plan, by then, the entire stadium will be built by a construction team from China. It is said that the expansion construction plan is in 115 years.

In other words, the expansion can be completed in one year at the fastest, and one and a half years at the slowest.

Fortunately, it is an expansion. If it is pushed back to reconstruction, it will take at least 35 years!

The Bird's Nest Stadium in the capital of China was built by China's rated construction team for more than 4 and nearly 5 years. To be honest, this year was really rushed.

However, Huaxia's construction team said they were very confident that it would be completed within the deadline.

When it comes to infrastructure, the Chinese construction team has never been afraid of anyone.

The new stadium will have disabled facilities, add some high-end reception rooms and entertainment facilities, and even add a museum, etc. After completion, Selhurst Park Stadium will also become a comprehensive professional football stadium.

And by then, Selhurst Park will also be renamed!

In fact, the plan to rebuild Selhurst Park Stadium has already begun. The construction team has already arrived in South London, and various building materials have begun to be delivered outside Selhurst Park Stadium one after another. Work is already underway to influence fans to watch the game.

Now we are waiting for the end of this season, and the Crystal Palace players will officially start construction after the holidays.

They are striving to have it officially completed around August next year, and then Crystal Palace can return to their home games before the start of next season.

Next season, the Crystal Palace team will temporarily move out of their home stadium.

And at this time, Crystal Palace has already taken care of their home games for next season.

Louisa has reached an agreement with Charlton. In the new season, Crystal Palace will rent Charlton's home stadium, the Valley Stadium, as the team's temporary home. They will play here for a season.

To be honest, no one thought that this day would come.

In 1986, Charlton also rented Selhurst Park as their home ground. They and Crystal Palace became the first case in England that a league team had a stadium with the same function.

Now after so many years, Crystal Palace has gone to the Valley Stadium to share a stadium with Charlton. What a fate!

Currently, Crystal Palace fans are sitting in this stadium with mixed emotions.

After all, in more than half a month, this stadium will no longer exist as it is now, and they are a little sad. But most of them still have longing for the future, and the future will definitely be better!

After all, the stadium expansion plan of the Crystal Palace club executives will cost 22.5 billion pounds.

This cost is still

It is relatively large.

The club is not stingy at all in building the stadium, and the Crystal Palace fans are naturally very happy and excited.

Sitting in this stadium now, Crystal Palace fans hope that the team can win in the last few games and bid farewell to Selhurst Park with wins one after another.

Today, here, Crystal Palace fans very much hope that Crystal Palace can defeat Manchester City and let Selhurst Park witness the glory of Crystal Palace reaching the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the first time in its 111-year history.

Crystal Palace fans hope to give this honor to this meritorious stadium.

Today, our Crystal Palace will win!

To be honest, even after the expansion, Crystal Palace's new stadium is not particularly big.

After all, after the expansion, the capacity of the new Crystal Palace stadium will only be 45,000 to 50,000 people. When it is completed, it should be able to accommodate more than 48,000 people. This stadium is really not big in the Premier League. It is far behind Old Trafford, Anfield and Emirates Stadium. It is not even comparable to the former Valley Stadium, which once had a capacity of 7 About ten thousand. Now there are only more than 30,000 people.

But, to be honest, Tong Yi and Crystal Palace fans are very satisfied.

Even at this time, Crystal Palace fans are looking forward to seeing their new stadium inside.

Of course, they had to wait more than a year.

Now Crystal Palace fans hope that the team can leave the glory of reaching the Champions League final to Selhurst Park. This is what Selhurst Park deserves.

The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were all shouting in unison, "Victory! We need victory! Selhurst Park needs the glory of advancing to the Champions League final!"

The Manchester City fans who came to the scene don't care about you. The Manchester City fans also beat the drums and shouted excitedly to cheer for their team.

Although they are not optimistic about Pellegrini, they still believe in their players, and their players will never give up at this time!

This is also the closest Manchester City has come to the Champions League final, and the Manchester City people will not give up.

Manchester City fans are cheering for the Manchester City players crazily. They also hope that the team can reverse Crystal Palace and successfully reach the final of this season's UEFA Champions League!

Come on, Manchester City!

"Hello, viewers and fans! I am the commentator Mortensen from BBC Sports. Today we are here for you in a match in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2015-2016 season. The opponent is the home team Crystal Palace. And Manchester City." Mortensen naturally appeared in the stands of Selhurst Park.

Shearer also said, "Today's

This game is very important for both sides, this is a life and death battle! This is the last chance! I believe that both teams will use 150% of their fighting power to deal with this game. No one wants to lose this game, no one wants to be eliminated! "

Indeed, the performance of the fans in the stands now speaks for itself.

"However, the Crystal Palace team playing at home now has an absolute advantage. They already led Manchester City 2-1 in the first round. Moreover, they also have the advantage of two away goals, so I think The opportunity for Crystal Palace is very, very big!" Shearer is still a loyal supporter of Tong Yi, and he is still optimistic about Crystal Palace.

Then, Mortensen said, "That's true. At present, Crystal Palace does have an absolute advantage. And this is their home court. I think it will be very difficult for Manchester City to defeat Crystal Palace here. As the winner of this game, Commentator, I am also more optimistic about Crystal Palace! To be honest, I am actually more optimistic about China Tong!"

The fans in front of the TV have all thought that Crystal Palace will indeed be more optimistic at this time.

Not only because they are already leading 2-1, nor because this game is their home court, but also because in the previous games, Crystal Palace had an absolute advantage against Manchester City. Crystal Palace won more than they lost. Less.

This season alone, the two sides have met four times before. Crystal Palace has three wins and one loss, showing a crushing attitude!

What can Manchester City do to compete with Crystal Palace?

Furthermore, there are differences within the Manchester City team.

There is a conflict between the players and coach Pellegrini, although it has not exploded yet. But this contradiction already exists, and there is no way it will break out in this game.

So, who is optimistic about Manchester City at this time?

Except for Manchester City fans, there shouldn't be many people who are optimistic about Manchester City.

Before this game, when Tong Yi was interviewed by media reporters, he said, "Currently we have an absolute advantage, and almost everyone is optimistic that we will win. But what I want to say is, the more this happens, the more important it is for us. The more dangerous it is. I hope my players will not be affected by the outside world and forget about the previous score. Now we are zero to zero. I hope my players will go all out and not underestimate their opponents just because they have an advantage. . Don’t give the Manchester City people any chance, because the opponent is very strong, and even if there is only a chance, they are likely to turn defeat into victory. Therefore, we must correct our mentality and fight against Manchester City.”

Did you see that under such circumstances, Tong Yi still has this attitude? It would be difficult for Crystal Palace not to win in this game!

Crystal Palace will definitely win this game, and it will definitely be the Crystal Palace team that advances to the UEFA Champions League final this season!

At this moment, the players from both sides walked into the stadium, and the game was about to start.
