Selhurst Park Stadium History

Selhurst Park, one of the many stadiums in the UK designed by Archibald Leitch, became the home of Crystal Palace FC in 1924 following a move from their temporary stay at Croydon Common Athletic Ground.

Palace had owned the land Selhurst Park was built on in 1922 after acquiring it from The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway for £2,750. The first iteration of the stadium featured just one stand but still hosted international games early in it’s life with England playing Wales at Selhurst in 1926.

Like many grounds around England at the time, floodlights were installed in the 1950s (1953 to be exact) and another stand was added in 1969, coinciding with the clubs first promotion to the top-flight of English football. Changes to the other two ends were made shortly afterwards.

Despite Palace being one of the first clubs to own the land and their stadium early in their life they ran into financial difficulties in the 1980’s which saw them sell the freehold to the land. The land changed hand many times before a consortium of Palace fans reached a deal for the purchase of the club and the ground in 2010.

There are plans to develop the stadium and increase seating capacity to 33,674 which have been approved by the Croydon council but discussions are still on-going about re-acquiring part of the land that was sold in the 1980s to Sainsbury’s which has slowed progress.
