Really? They might want to figure out how to stay in the PL first


I read today that Crystal Palace, which is no longer in last place in the 20 team Premier League (they're in 19th), is going to have a dramatic makeover of their stadium, called Selhurst Park.

Here's one artist's conception of it; it's pretty amazing.


Crystal Palace reveal plans for stunning £100m redevelopment of Selhurst Park main stand that will boost ground's capacity to 34,000 in three years



There's one little problem, though.

If the season ended now, Crystal Palace is in the relegation zone.  Which means they'd get sent 'down', out of the Premier League, to the next level of English soccer, the "Championship".  If that happened, they'd lose a lot of money and prestige, both of which I think are useful when building a new palace for your team named Crystal Palace.

So before I made extensive plans, I'd make sure you were going to stay in the top flight.  While they've shown promising signs, they're still in danger (though yes, it's still a long season).
