"Good old-fashioned ground"

I've only been to Selhurst Park once - that was on the last day of the 2008/2009 season when 7,500 Blades fans invaded South London.

The ground is dominated by the impressive Holmesdale Road end which dominates the other 3 smaller stands. The stand behind the other goal is new and impressive-looking, but the 2 stands at the side of the pitch look as if they need a bit of work.

Location

Getting to Selhurst from the north can be a bit of a pain as the ground is located to the south of London and isn't accessible from the Underground - you'll have to ge an overground train if you've using public transport.

The nearest stations are Selhurst and Thornton Heath and the ground is only around a 10 minute walk away.

View

As we'd taken a large following, our view of the pitch was pretty dire. We were on the back row and had to stand on our seats to see the pitch as everyone was stood throughout the game. This wouldn't normally have been a problem, but the roof at Selhurst is very low which cuts off a fair bit of your view.

Facilities

Awful, I've seen better at non-league grounds.

Food & Drink

Didn't have any, so I can't comment - the queues were big though!

Police & Stewards

No problems. If anything they were a bit too relaxed!

Atmosphere

Not much atmosphere from the home fans, but fairly decent from the away end.
