Yes it was and that was just 18 months after they failed to win the Championship Play Off finals in 2008 and were put into administration for owing £30 million. A good example of their hypocrisy about chasing dreams.
More to the point Crystal Palace FC don't own Selhurst Park and at present are not paying any rent which was announced by the second fiddle chairman on the BBS, the same as Brighton & Hove Albion FC does not own the Amex . So what point are you making SJ?
So Palace never took handouts from the sugar daddy known as Lloyds bank then, who let go all the rent they were owed and sold the shit heap at real knock down price then, just so you could survive to rob again another day?
