Crystal Palace’s plans to redevelop Selhurst Park were greeted by many fans with glee, but two Palace supporters had an altogether different and unique conversation as a result.
Palace tweeted an impressive video illustrating their plans to upgrade the stadium, with the capacity expected to rise from 26,000 to more than 34,000 as a result.

But when one fan tweeted a complaint about the Arthur Wait Stand, another misunderstood and appeared offended.
Twitter user @CPFC_Polska appeared to think the tweet referred to Polish fans of Crystal Palace, but @Decbo_CPFC was simply referring to “the beams that hold the (Arthur Wait) stand up”.
The beams that hold the stand up… They are poles that support the roof 😂

Thankfully the misunderstanding was cleared up quickly enough, and the pair got on with laughing at the situation together.
Hahahahaha, sorry mate… 😂😂😂 Greetings from Poland! 🇵🇱

And hey, it looks like everybody got a good chuckle out of the conversation.
Misunderstanding of the decade! God I love Twitter 😂

Palace are currently four games unbeaten in the Premier League, but sit just one point above bottom – they’ll need the fans to show this sort of togetherness to help them avoid a difficult season.
