The venue once considered the home of UK athletics has closed its doors after being "managed into a state of disrepair."
On Friday, the site of the Crystal Palace Stadium in London was closed amid emergency circumstances with Greenwich Leisure Limited citing urgent safety concerns. The authority, which operates the venue, said the concrete pillars that hold up the floodlights had been deemed unsafe.
There is as yet no word on when or if the stadium, that opened in 1964 and for over a decade hosted the annual London Grand Prix, will be able to reopen. The indoor track also has leakages with surface puddles having formed, as well as animal excrement on the outside stands.
