I think all that is just normal run of the mill standard work that any club coming up to the prem league for the first time would have to do. its no biggy like. Our facilities are top notch

Palace must need the contents of Barclays Bank's vault if ours isn't up to scratch.

There are certain standards required for media and I thinks the dressing rooms were made the same size last year to get it up to UEFA Standard for the Super Cup.

It's not that it's not up to scratch, in order to have the Uefa Super Cup at the stadium, both dressing rooms need to have the exact same facilities. Currently the home dressing room has a much bigger warm up area. Hope that helps

Premier League rules, mate

can' t remember where but I read an article last week about how much the three newly promoted clubs will need to upgrade the changing and media facilities (and I think we are the lucky ones with our modern stadium)

Just imagine how much the Selhurst Shithole will need to spend? :lol: :lol: :ayatollah:
