Urgent – Company Voluntary Agreement – Fax Completed Forms
Supporters following the progress of the 2010 consortium to buy the stadium and the club, will know that a Company Voluntary Agreement (CVA) meeting will be held on Friday, 25 June 2010, at 11.30am, at Selhurst Park, to enable the club to come out of administration and be purchased. A creditors’ vote of 75% by value in favour of the CVA proposal is required. The votes of Palace supporters who are also creditors may make a crucial difference.

The Crystal Palace Supporters’ Trust has kindly written to Palace season ticket holders enclosing a statement of claim form and a proxy form for completion. The Trust has indicated that it is willing to act as proxy for supporters unable to attend the meeting. Alternatively, the Chairman of the meeting may be named as proxy holder. The forms however need to be returned to the administrator by 12 noon on 24 June 2010. It is therefore suggested that those who have not already done so should if possible fax the forms to ensure they reach the administrator in time – Fax No. 0114 276 8556

Thank you – Selhurst Clean Up
Followers of the BBS messageboard will be aware, with the new sense of optimism and goodwill, with the expected takeover of the club by the 2010 consortium that a number of Palace fans, lead by ‘Coulsdon Eagle’, have volunteered their time and effort to clean up the Selhurst Park stadium before the start of the new season. This is a great gesture of support for the club and for fellow fans –so a big thank you to all those involved in this work, and to the club for permitting their involvement in the spirit intended.

Come on England
Just has to get better! Fingers crossed!
