History

About Selhurst Park

Selhurst Park opened on 30 August 1924 and has been Crystal Palace's home ever since. Archibald Leitch designed the original ground, and his Main Stand is the oldest structure on the site. The record crowd is 51,482, set in 1979 when Palace beat Burnley 2-0 to clinch the Second Division title — on terraces that no longer exist, since the ground was converted to all-seater in stages between 1981 and 1993. Two other London clubs have called it home: Charlton Athletic ground-shared from 1985 to 1991, and Wimbledon from 1991 until 2003. It also staged two matches at the 1948 London Olympics.

Seating layout

Selhurst Park seating plan & capacity

Four stands of very different ages, which makes the seat you pick matter more here than at a modern bowl: the Holmesdale is double-tiered and steep, the Main Stand is the low 1924 original, and Whitehorse Lane is the smallest. Away fans sit in the Arthur Wait corner beside Whitehorse Lane, so a home supporter buying near that corner will be alongside the visiting section. The Main Stand rebuild is live, so check the seat map on the listing rather than assuming last season's layout.

• Holmesdale Road Stand

  8,329 seats across two tiers, built in 1994, behind the goal at the Holmesdale Road end.

• Arthur Wait Stand

  9,574 seats, opened in 1969 and the largest stand at Selhurst. Away supporters are housed in the corner nearest Whitehorse Lane, an allocation Football Ground Guide puts at just under 3,000.

• Main Stand

  5,460 seats plus 63 press positions in the original 1924 Leitch stand, now being replaced by a three-tier structure of about 13,500 seats.

• Whitehorse Lane Stand

  2,219 seats plus 480 executive box seats behind the opposite goal, redeveloped in the early 1980s. The smallest stand, and the one the away corner sits beside.

Getting there

How to get to Selhurst Park

Train

Three National Rail stations serve the ground — Selhurst, Thornton Heath and Norwood Junction — and Crystal Palace's own visiting guide puts each within about a fifteen-minute walk.

The ground sits in a dense residential grid in Selhurst, and the streets around it are permit-controlled on matchdays.
