| GROUND HISTORY adapted from "The Ultimate Directory of English & Scottish Football League Grounds" |
| |
| The Nest, or Croydon Common Athletic Ground, prior to WWI had been the home ground of Croydon Common FC but was vacant by the time that Crystal Palace took up the lease from the London Brighton & South Coast Railway in 1919. The facilities, which were not improved during their occupancy, consisted of a covered seated stand on the north side and banking around the other three sides.
After Crystal Palace FC moved to Selhurst Park in 1924 it was briefly occupied by the Tramway FC before the site of the ground was utilized in 1928 for construction of an electrical multiple unit inspection shed and expansion of the adjacent rolling stock maintenance depot. The site is still in use for Selhurst Depot.
