The iconic Holmesdale stand, which houses more than 8,500 supporters, has become synonymous with Crystal Palace FC’s Selhurst Park since it was formally opened in the summer of 1995. It was reportedly constructed for the princely sum of £6 million, but access to the uniquely curved structure has always been a head scratcher for those in charge of maintenance at Palace.
Those supporters who frequent the two-tiered stand have witnessed some of the greatest days in Palace history – including the miraculous comeback from 0-3 against this Saturday’s visitors, Liverpool, who were on course for the title on that heady night in 2014.
