Their training ground is very close to where i live, and plenty of the kids friends support Palace, which is far more preferable than Spurs, Arsenal or Oil FC etc.

This is true. I have a lot more respect for the kids supporting their local team than the showier ones up in town. Same with the ones who support Fulham or even a couple of Millwall and Charlton ones.

Where is the Palace training ground. I've only lived down there 18 years.

Copers Cope Road, Kent have a cricket ground right next door.

They have spent a fair bit of cash recently to get Academy A status I think. It is like a little pod of sporting "excellence" in New Beckenham.

Thanks. Just found it on Google Maps. Tight site but not surprising for the area.

It is actually decent size, they bought the land opposite that was previously a "Goals". There is quite a bit of green space around here, as many banks have/had their sports grounds here.

I have played on many of the pitches on those sports grounds.

Lots of news around today of Edens trying to setup a 'Villains' franchise in Vegas for the MLS. Having a network of lniked clubs in different countries is one of the ways Red Bull and Man City have used to work around some of the FFP rules and to expand the commercial side of the business.

Someone has just paid 88 million quid for 18 per cent of Crystal Palace. That values them at just shy of half a billion quid. NSWE got a bargain.
They bought a club that was almost bankrupt and in the 2nd tier.
Good timing on their part.

Good luck to them so long as they don't go with the current incredibly boring trend of being called "FC", "City" or "United". Las Vegas Quicksilvers was the old NASL name so they should go with that I reckon.

Always surprises me that there are over a million people with an SE postcode in South East London. That’s as big as Brum yet the 3 football teams are all relatively poorly supported despite a massive catchment area.

There are over 400,000 in the Dudley postcode area with no representation in the top five divisions. Do many in South London support teams north of the river?

Quite a lot I'd say.
