Crystal Palace

Located in the borough of Croydon in South London, Selhurst Park has been the home of Crystal Palace since 1924. The site used to belong to Brighton Railway Company and was bought by the club for £2570. The stadium that was eventually built was designed by the Scottish stadium architect Archibald Leith and was opened on the 30th of August 1924 by the Lord Mayor of London. As for The Eagles, the club was founded in 1905 and had three venues that they called home before settling permanently at Selhurst Park. They were founded at the Crystal Palace Exhibition building and played their home games there until 1915 when they moved to the Herne Hill Velodrome and then The Nest; the latter being officially called the Croydon Common Athletic Ground. Interestingly enough, Norwich City also played at a stadium known as The Nest, though it’s not the same one.
