Palace back Rainbow Laces with messages from staff and players
Crystal Palace are proud to back the Premier League's Rainbow Laces campaign to promote LGBT+ inclusion in football.
As part of the league-wide Rainbow Laces campaign the club has shared interviews with Women's players Leigh Nicol and Annabel Johnson, a montage of messages from staff and players, a column from LGBT+ fan group Proud and Palace in the matchday programme, and will promote the rainbow flag across the matchday v Southampton.
In the montage, players Nicol, Kirsten Reilly, Jack Butland, Tyrick Mitchell, Kaden Rodney, and staff Will Rose and Jamie Broughton express their support for the Rainbow Laces campaign. It will be shown to supporters before the game with Saints on the big screen and in the Fanzone.
We are proud to stand alongside our LGBT+ supporters at Crystal Palace.

We will not tolerate racial or homophobic chants or discriminating comments towards a particular individual or group of individuals at Selhurst Park.
You can report discrimination on a matchday by using the Anti-Social Behaviour Text Alert Service.
The service is simple to use. If you are witnessing anti-social behaviour close to you, whether it be foul language, abuse of any sort, people blocking your view or anything else that is causing upset or offence, just send us a text message.
