SELHURST PARK

South Norwood, London, England

Crystal Palace F.C. (1924-present) Charlton Athletic F.C. (1985-1991) Wimbledon F.C. (1991-2003)

Selhurst Park is a British football stadium located in the London suburb of South Norwood in the Borough of Croydon. It is the current home ground of Crystal Palace Football Club. Its present capacity is 26,309.

In 1922 the site, a former brickfield, was bought from the Brighton Railway Company for £2,570. The stadium was constructed by a Humphreys of Kensington (a firm regularly used by Leitch) for around £30,000, and was officially opened by the Lord Mayor of London on 30 August 1924. There was then only one stand (the present Main Stand), but this was unfinished due to industrial action; Crystal Palace played Sheffield Wednesday and lost 0-1 in front of 25,000 fans.
