8 Years Ago Today - Palace Entered Administration
I was going to bump the original thread but then I didn't want to give anyone a heart attack who saw the thread title on the home page!
8 years ago today it was also announced on the BBS by “BobDay” that we would be entering administration. It’s mental how far we have come in those 8 years. Although it wasn’t nice for the club (or it’s creditors) that we were in administration, I personally think we are better for it. We then had to go away to Newcastle the following day where we lost 2-0

If I remember rightly the news came through while the players were in the air flying to Newcastle. I know I was at the game and it wasn't a good feeling. As you say look how far we have come.

Tried to upload that great ‘Unsinkables’ poster created by Doof - but looks like most of the images have been deleted.
You can still sense the great spirit of the Palace support - not a hint of desperation at a very desperate time! To view the link you have to Register or Login

Best day of this century for our club ..From near extinction to premier league . A great story, somebody should make a film about it ..

Some Arsenal twat at work said "Good. We'll be able to Victor Moses on the cheap" Couldn't give him a slap as he worked for the client.

Moses not allowed to play, only three subs and one of those - Matty Lawrence - came on after only 4 minutes. Clint Hill played on despite an injury. Remember bumping into Away Day Eagle at Newcastle station the following morning and we wondered if the 10 point deduction would mean we'd finally get to see Palace play at Rochdale the following season. Happily for the club that has not come to pass |

Without Simon Jordan's supreme business skills, we would never have had CPFC2010 take over the club.
So credit where credit is due. |

Remember finding out as I entered the away section concourse after all those stairs at Newcastle. Will never forget the feeling, a bit like people say they remember where they were when the heard JFK died, or in my case Lady Di.
I don't think things turned out too badly in the end though, did they!

Tony, 3-7-2001 "Well, as I said before, we are only 6 points behind 4th from bottom with the prize of an additional £65 million (minimum) if we stay up. So, we'd be bonkers if that wasn't the top priority. Nobody's giving up on staying in this league." CPFC2010, 5-11-2013 |

Sometimes you have to go through the rough to get to the smooth and appreciate it. Well, as smooth as being a Palace fan is......although most football fans would say their club is a basket case I'm sure.

Wasn't it announced on here by a one time poster (suspected of being associated with the administrators) well in advance of an official statement?

Massive thanks are due to the fans who turned up outside Lloyds to make our voice heard and obviously to CPFC2010 for saving the club and for everything that has happened since.

We don't have many golden days in our history, we still can't say this is the day we won the FA cup or Premiere league or this is the day we qualified for Europe, we may soon but not just yet
But this is undoubtedly the biggest day in our clubs history, we'd flirted a couple of times with it though had never reached one hour to extinction I shall be out tonight and during the course will definitely raise a glass to those who stood outside and the four that did the business within Onwards and Upwards
