In Washington, Selhurst Park is considered “historic”

Historic Selhurst Park

Pretty interesting article about Palace’s operation in America. It’s pretty fair for the most part, although calling Selhurst Park “historic” might be pushing things a bit far.

Slightly concerning piece of maths though. The players who aren’t contracted to the club earn between $1000 and $4000 a month. The average attendance per game has been just 378 people. I’m no economist, but that doesn’t sound sustainable to me, not when tickets are sold for $12 each.
