On This Day: Eagles’ new era takes flight (2010) - Crystal Palace F.C.

The previous summer, the Eagles had survived by the skin of their teeth on the now famous ‘Survival Sunday’: a 2-2 draw at Sheffield Wednesday which preserved Championship status and, perhaps, the very existence of the club.

Following protests at Lloyds Bank and Selhurst Park in early June, the club and Selhurst Park were saved in the last minute by Steve Parish and the CPFC 2010 consortium.

The consortium consisted of four Palace fans: Parish, who was brought up in Forest Hill; Browett, from Upper Norwood; Long, who grew up in Streatham, and Jeremy Hosking.
