As Ivor has said, no it's not moving. *The football ground is nowhere
near Crystal Palace; the nearest station to it is Selhurst. *The club
did actually play at Crystal Palace at some time in the distant past.


I dispute your characterisation that Selhurst Park is "nowhere
near" [the area known as] Crystal Palace - but it's not in Crystal
Palace, sure. A couple of miles from CP railway station - the nearest
stations are Selhurst itself and Norwood Junction, both more or less
equidistant from the ground.


I think Millwall actually had their ground in Millwall many decades
ago as well.


They did. Moved across the river in 1910, three years before Arsenal
moved the other way across the Thames.
