Paul Hart and his new management team would personally like to thank Alan Ruston for sponsoring this weekend's away trip to Barnsley. Paul Hart said this week ' By us taking the train gives us more time to focus on the preparation with the squad and keeps the players fresher in the lead up to what is a big match for Crystal Palace. We sincerely thank Alan and his family for sponsoring the travel to Yorkshire it really is most appreciated'

Talking before he left on the journey north, long standing Palace fan Alan said 'Its an honour to be involved and support the club, not just from the stands, but off it as well. I felt it was important at this current time to help wherever I could. I am looking forward to meeting Paul Hart, Dougie Freedman and John Pemberton for the trip to Barnsley for what will be a great experience and hopefully a much needed three points'

Sponsoring an away game is a great experience and really helps the club. The package is for two people to travel with the squad, stay in the team hotel overnight, travel with the team to the game, and enjoy Directors Box Seats for the match itself before returning to London on the Team Coach.
