The Experience
Selhurst Park is now again occupying one team after Wimbledon finally completed their move to the National Hockey Stadium in Milton Keynes. No work has been done on the ground since the completion of the Holmesdale Stand around 5 years ago. There has been mentions of a new stand replacing the old Arthur Wait Stand but there has been no official word on this. Selhurst Park ahs always it me as being a strange ground for some reason, one reason maybe because the travelling fans are put in one of the sides stands.
