Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's pre-season game against Bath City has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond the club's control.

The following statement was released by the club this afternoon:

"The club regret to announce that this Friday's friendly (20 July) against Bath City has been cancelled.

"Upon arrival at our training base in Exeter on Monday we found the facilities unusable due to flooding and with no adequate alternative facilities available we made the decision to return to London.

"Having made that decision it was not in the best interests of the squad to travel back down to Bath on Friday evening and we made the unfortunate decision to cancel the friendly because of circumstances beyond our control.

"The club are actively looking for an alternative match which will take place on the same date and will be announced in due course."

The Eagles are now playing Lewes FC away instead on the 20th July with a 7.30pm kick off.
