Fans of Crystal Palace have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports regarding the latest in the redevelopment of Selhurst Park.
According to reports in The Athletic, Crystal Palace have made significant progress on the proposed redevelopment of Selhurst Park. However, the club are still some way off agreeing to the purchase of houses surrounding the stadium, which would be crucial to the progression of the club’s plans.
In reaction to the reports, which were relayed by CPFC News HQ on Twitter, fans of the club have flocked to have their say on the matter, with many claiming that the proposed redevelopment of their ground has been going on for far too long, and would rather just see their club do all they possibly can to progress the plans as soon as possible.
Do you think the stadium redevelopment plans will be approved this year?
Yes
No
? Palace & Croydon Council have made significant progress in recent weeks in talks over the redevelopment of Selhurst Park.
There are still some major hurdles to overcome but Section 106 agreement edging closer.

Sadly, I read the article thinking ‘sounds much like we are where we were months ago.’

What do we think?
Although two years have passed since Palace were granted planning permission for the redevelopment of the stadium, there have recently been some promising negotiations, according to The Athletic.
However, the purchase of council homes on the footprint of the site for the new main stand is proving to be a major stumbling block in the progression of the stadium redevelopment.
In any case, it would appear that many Palace fans are not holding their breath regarding any positive news on the progression of the redevelopment, and, judging from the reports, it would appear that could be a sensible move.
