Thanks again to all Trust members for your continued support. 

The agreement with Paul Kemsley, the owner of Selhurst Park, gives Simon Jordan the option of purchasing the freehold during the term of the lease.

This agreement will alleviate the concerns of many Palace fans with regard to the Club's long-term future at Selhurst Park.

As previously stated we have actively sought clarification of the position in respect of the ownership of the Selhurst Park freehold. We believe we have an understanding of the issues and they have given us some cause for concern.

We have communicated our concerns to Simon Jordan, the Owner and Chairman of Crystal Palace FC, and to Paul Kemsley, the Owner of Selhurst Park. We respect the need for commercial sensitivity and recognise that both principals will not want to publicise the progress of any discussions to resolve outstanding matters.

The Trust wishes to reiterate its willingness to meet with the Club to determine if there's a role for the supporters to play in assisting the Club to secure the Selhurst Park freehold.  

A presentation of a silver salver was made on 23 January, on behalf of all Crystal Palace supporters, to Clinton Morrison.

The salver was presented to mark Clinton's achievement of scoring a century of goals for the club.

The presentation party consisted of representatives from the Fans Centenary Project (Don Madgwick - far left), PISA 's Keith Powell (second from right), and the Crystal Palace Supporters' Trust (Mervyn Pierce - far right).
