    Heard something about this on the radio coming home last night, but it didn't go into any details.

    Good on those Palace fans. :50:

    Well done Palace fans. The greed and hypocrisy in world football is out of control.

    Well done to the Palace fans for coming out and making this stand. Spot on from them. Wonder if any other clubs fans in the epl will do something similar when Newcastle come to town.

    Newcastle takeover: No police action on Crystal Palace fans' banner

    Last updated on 1 hour ago1 hour ago.From the section Premier League

    [​IMG]
    The banner was displayed by Crystal Palace fans during the 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle United on Saturday
    Police say no further action will be taken after a banner displayed by Crystal Palace fans targeted the Saudi Arabian-led takeover of Newcastle United.

    The banner took aim at the Premier League's ownership test, following Newcastle's recent £305m sale.

    It was displayed during Palace's 1-1 draw with Newcastle on Saturday.

    "Following an assessment, officers have concluded that no offences have been committed," said Croydon police.

    "No further action will be taken."

    The banner featured illustrations of a man dressed in traditional Arabic clothing alongside what appeared to be Premier League chief executive Richard Masters.

    The banner had a checklist with alleged offences by the Saudi Arabia regime.

    Listed on a picture of a clipboard under the headline 'Premier League Owners Test' were 'Terrorism, beheading, civil rights abuses, murder, censorship and persecution'.

    The man in Arab-style clothing was also holding a sword with blood on it.

    Palace fan group Holmesdale Fanatics took credit for the banner on Twitter, and issued a statement.

    "The Saudi led takeover of Newcastle has rightly received widespread condemnation and anger," it said.

    "To give the thumbs up to this deal at a time when the Premier League is promoting the women's game and inclusive initiatives such as rainbow armbands, shows the total hypocrisy at play and demonstrates the league's soulless agenda where profits trump all."

    The takeover was 80% financed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), whose chair is Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

    When approving the takeover, the Premier League said it had received legal assurances from the new owners that the Saudi state would not control Newcastle United and there would be penalties if it was proved otherwise.

    The fans group's statement said this decision "made a mockery" of the 'Owners and Directors' test.

    Nice that they picked up on the ‘we’ve got our club back’ nonsense…

    Well no * no offenses were committed. Risible that there was an investigation at all. Reading that even more credit to the Palace fan group for that statement pointing out the hypocrisy at play here and so aptly the soulless agenda with money above all.

    Fair play to them but I still can't ever look past how small Palace's support truly is. Proper wee club..

    Hopefully every teams fans do this, although Man City would be hypocritical, in fact nearly all of them would be :giggle1:

    It certainly will be interesting to see if any other teams do something similar when the blood stained Newcastle come to town. But certainly Crystal Palace have taken a very strong and absolutely correct stand here and deserve major credit for it.

    For what is probably the smallest club in the £PL or one of, they do seem to have a better atmosphere than the rest of the league at their home games. Never been or that but seeing it on the tele.

    Can't argue with that at all..

    It's just my perception of them. Their catchment area. The fact they took up a rivalry with a club miles away despite having south London neighbours etc etc :giggle1:

    It was Palace vs Wimbledon but obviously Wimbledon moved to Milton Keynes so who gives a * and their phoenix club are never getting to the premiership. There is Millwall and Charlton in South East London with Sutton just about making South West.
