Our latest look on Palace in the news over the last seven days without the need to touch on any transfer rumours or speculation.
Fixtures
The wait was over this week as the fixtures for the new Premier League season were announced. Opening day the Eagles host West Bromwich Albion and head to Old Trafford for the final game of the season. See the complete fixture list on TEB.
Eagles At The Euros
Yohan Cabaye had yet to feature for the French side that has managed to win both of their opening group games but returned to the side against Switzerland which ended in a goalless draw. Regardless, many nominated Cabaye as man of the match for his impressive central midfield display. Meanwhile, Wayne Hennessey, Joe Ledley and Jonny Williams all played their part in seeimg Wales win their group ahead of England which sees them safely into the next round.
New Deals
Amid the club releasing a number of players there is some good news for seasoned campaigners and fan favourites Julian Speroni and Damien Delaney. They have both signed a one year deal after agreeing to stay at the club after their contracts were due to run out this summer.
Media Appointment
The club have appointed Joanne Budd as the new Head of PR and Media Relations. She is currently out in France with the England squad having worked at the FA for over twenty years. Selhurst Park will not be completely new for Joanne however as she worked with Steve Coppell and Alan Smith at the club in the later eighties and early nineties.
Pre-Season
Another addition to the fixture list ahead of the new season is AFC Wimbledon at The Cherry Red Records Stadium on 27th July. Kick off will be 7pm with ticket details due to be released soon. Meanwhile, ticket details have been released for the game at Bromley on 2nd August which you can find out more on the official Palace website.
Dann Back in Training
After being substituted in the FA Cup Final at the end of the season due to injury, the sight of Scott Dann back in training is a delight ahead of Palace’s fourth Premier League campaign. You can follow the centre back on Twitter.
