16 years ago today, Crystal Palace travelled to Sheffield Wednesday on the final day of the Championship season needing a point to survive relegation, having been given a 10 point deduction for going into administration in the January of 2010. The players, despite not having been paid a penny for 3 months continued to play for pure pride in the shirt and managed to get the all important 2-2 draw thanks to goals from Alan Lee and Darren Ambrose. That summer, CPFC2010 took over, having mobilised the fans to protest on the streets and stop the club from being liquidated. On Thursday night just gone, we won a European semi-final 3-1 away from home against Shakhtar in Krakow, having made it into Europe thanks to the FA Cup win in May of 2025; the first major trophy in the club’s entire history. The club is a totally different to the one we watched that day at Hillsborough but without the blood, sweat and tears of that group, none of what we’ve gone on to achieve would have been possible. ❤️💙
