#### **JUNE - Potter joins Palace**

The 2024/25 season had had its high points, but it was ultimately disappointing for the Eagles.

Our maiden campaign in the topflight of English Women's football had ended in relegation to the second-tier, and morale was low amongst the squad.

Former Lioness and Rangers boss Jo Potter was appointed on the 24th June, with assistant coach Remi Allen joining the team a few weeks later.

Former Palace captain Annabel Johnson was also added to the first-team coaching staff with the objective clear - win promotion back to the WSL.

With the revamped format of the WSL and the newly-named Women's Super League 2 now allowing up to three teams to earn promotion - that objective was made easier.

The top two teams would earn automatic promotion, whilst the third-place WSL2 team would contest a playoff game against the bottom team in the WSL.

Jo Potter: First Interview

#### **JULY & AUGUST - More New Faces**

There were new some faces on the pitch, as well as in the dugout.

Defender Jamie-Lee Napier was the first to join on a permanent deal, and she was followed by midfielder Justine Vanhaevermaet, forward Kirsty Howat, and veteran midfielder Ruesha Littlejohn.

Teenage talents Lola Brown and Emma Watson also joined on loan, as Potter looked to bolster her squad ahead of the WSL2 campaign.

Palace now had a new-look team, with a new Manager at the helm.

#### **SEPTEMBER - Molly makes history**

Palace had a gruelling September to start the season - five games, and a curtain raiser away to Charlton Athletic.

We began the campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Charlton, before a 4-4 thriller at home to Southampton.

Potter bagged her first win as Palace boss in the subsequent game away at newly-promoted Nottingham Forest with summer signings Kirsty Howat and Justine Vanhaevermaet both scoring at the City Ground.

Women's match highlights: Forest 1-2 Palace

A home defeat to London City Lionesses in the Subway Women's League Cup followed, where Palace were desperately unlucky not to pick up a result.

History was then made in the North East, as Molly-Mae Sharpe became the first-ever player in Palace Women's professional era to reach 100 appearances.

She commemorated it in typical style, assisting Elise Hughes in the sixth minute of added-time to rescue a point for Palace.

On her 100th appearance, she said: "It's hard to put into words. It's been an honour to wear this shirt.

"I'm proud of where we have come and I am even more excited for what's next."

#### **OCTOBER & NOVEMBER - Ups and Downs**

Potter's side opened October with two frustrating draws at home to Newcastle and Sunderland, before narrowly beating Ipswich Town in the League Cup on the 19th October.

Whilst Potter's side were scoring regularly, a persistent theme remained - they struggled to keep the ball out of the Palace net.

No game better summed up Palace's start than the clash against Newcastle, where the Eagles led 2-0 until the 87th minute, and ended up drawing the game 2-2.

Potter said after the game: “It's extremely frustrating, we're seriously disappointed because it's a similar tale to last week."

They began November with a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Portsmouth, a result that saw Palace closer to relegation than promotion.

After a subsequent defeat at home to Sheffield United - Palace needed a spark, and fast.

Next up was an away trip to Ipswich Town, and it was here that it all changed for Potter's side.

Ipswich were 1-0 up at the break, courtesy of Sophie Peskett - and the Eagles were looking at a third-straight defeat.

An honest discussion at half-time had the Eagles come out with something to prove, and Palace had their leveller on 60 minutes - courtesy of a fantastic Ashleigh Weerden strike.

Abbie Larkin won it with another stunner on 83 minutes, firing Palace to their first league win since September.

Speaking after the game, Weerden said: "We really needed this. We know it's very tight and one game can change a lot."

The truth of that statement was about to become very clear.

Palace closed out November with a trip to WSL-side Leicester City in the Subway Women's League Cup.

Not only did Palace need a win, they also needed to better Leicester's goal difference to get through to the quarter-finals.

What followed was the best performance of the season so far, as the Eagles put three past the Foxes to book a place in the quarter-final against Arsenal.

With consecutive victories now under their belt, Potter’s side had rediscovered something crucial: the unmistakable feeling of winning.

Women's match highlights: Leicester City 0-3 Palace

#### **DECEMBER - Four in a row**

Palace opened December with their most difficult league fixture yet - a home clash against high-flying Birmingham City.

The game could have proved a step too far for Potter's side, but it instead proved to be a pivotal part of Palace's season.

Goals from Molly-Mae Sharpe, Annabel Blanchard, and Shanade Hopcroft saw Palace smash the Blues 3-0.

The Eagles had their first home win in the league, and had take three points off a major promotion rival.

An away FA Cup win at Lewes followed, before another stunning away victory in the league - this time at Ashton Gate.

In one of the games of the season, Elise Hughes, Howat and Larkin all scored under the lights to seal a swashbuckling 3-2 win over the Robins.

Whilst the win streak came to an end against reigning Champions League winners Arsenal in the League Cup - it seemed like Palace had turned their form around.

Jo Potter was awarded the WSL2 Manager of the Month award, and the Eagles were back in the promotion conversation.

#### **JANUARY - Ladd lights up the league**

The January transfer window saw Shanade Hopcroft, Emma Watson, and Isabella Sibley depart the club, whilst three new faces came through the door in South London.

Kelly Brady joined after a prolific spell in Ireland, Lucy Newell joined on loan from Manchester United, and Hayley Ladd signed from Everton.

Ladd was given her first appearance the day after signing, and it proved to be the debut of dreams for the Wales international.

With 86 minutes on the clock and 0-0 on the scoreboard - Palace were being held by a disciplined Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Howat was fouled on the edge of the box, and up stepped Ladd to take the free-kick.

She curled the ball into the top right corner and beyond the diving Sian Rogers - winning it for Palace in Yorkshire.

It was a goal worthy of promotion, and it duly won the LOADED Goal of the Month for January.

Palace then bowed out of the FA Cup after an all too familiar trip to Kingsmeadow to face Chelsea. 

They bounced back with a 4-0 demolition of Durham at the VBS, a result that saw the Eagles win a fifth consecutive league game, and climb to fourth in the table.

Hayley Ladd wins Goal of the month for January

#### **FEBRUARY - A bump in the road**

The Eagles were stopped in the tracks by Southampton on the 1st February, as an Ellie Brazil hattrick consigned them to a 3-1 away defeat at St Mary's.

Whilst there was frustration that the win streak had ended, it would eventually prove to be Palace's final defeat of the season.

Up next in the league were the two teams Palace had faced in December - Bristol City and Birmingham.

The results mirrored December's events as well, as Potter's side beat Bristol 2-1 at home, before travelling away to St Andrews and winning 3-1 there.

Weerden was awarded the TEN and the WSL2 Player of the Month awards, after making a goal contribution in every game.

Palace had now taken 12 points off of two teams vying for promotion, and suddenly a return to the topflight looked more likely...

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Two awards in one month ❤️💙 <a href="https://t.co/7AqgiL5kLF">https://t.co/7AqgiL5kLF</a> <a href="https://t.co/qYjdT6meDf">pic.twitter.com/qYjdT6meDf</a></p>&mdash; Crystal Palace F.C.

#### **MARCH - The Selhurst Showdown**

March was always going to be pivotal for Palace. 

They started the month by hosting Forest, followed by an away trip to Newcastle, and ended the month with a titanic clash against Charlton at Selhurst Park.

Aimee Everett proved to be the hero against Forest, as her header proved to be the difference in a 1-0 home win on Mother's Day.

The captain would later be awarded the WSL Player of the Month for March, as Palace had back-to-back award wins.

A trip to promotion-chasing Newcastle proved tricky for Palace, and Potter's side returned home slightly disappointed after having drawn 0-0, despite creating a number of chances on Tyneside.

This was all before the Selhurst Showdown on the 29th March - where nearly 4000 people turned out to watch third-place Palace take on first-place Charlton Athletic at Selhurst Park.

It's safe to say that the Palace faithful were treated to a classic in SE25.

Charlton were the first to break the deadlock on 39 minutes, but a super finish from Ladd had the teams level at the break.

Palace moved up the gears in the second-half, and Howat put Palace ahead on 56 minutes, before Larkin added a third on 76 minutes.

An Emma Bissell penalty on 80 minutes proved not to be enough for the Addicks, and Palace Women had their first win at Selhurst since March 2024.

Not only did Palace get one over on their rivals at Selhurst - they also kept themselves firmly in the promotion race.

Charlton, who had spent the majority of the campaign at the summit of the table, had now lost three of their four league games in March - whilst Palace had only dropped points in two games since November.

What had seemed improbable earlier in the season, now seemed more likely than ever with just three league games to go.

Women's Highlights | Palace 3-2 Charlton

#### **APRIL - Taking care of business**

Palace's task in April was very simple - win the games against Ipswich and Sunderland and hope first-place Charlton and second-place Birmingham drop points.

A new-look Ipswich battling for survival posed a significant challenge to Palace, but a first-half strike from Howat was enough to seal a vital 1-0 win at home.

She was assisted by Weerden, who had equalled Kosovare Asllani's WSL2 record of nine assists, set in the 2024/25 season.

Focus then turned to the Stadium of Light and Sunderland, with the Eagles needing a win to guarantee a third-place promotion playoff spot and keep the automatic promotion dream alive.

A scintillating first-half display saw Palace 2-0 up, courtesy of finishes from Blanchard and Weerden - and Palace held on to win 2-1 in the North East.

With Birmingham suffering a shock 3-0 home defeat to Ipswich, Palace eyes then turned to Charlton's later kick-off against Southampton.

Much to the delight of the Palace players, staff, and fans alike - the Saints equalised in the 94th minute to force a 2-2 draw, meaning a win on the final would **guarantee** promotion to the WSL.

#### **Saturday, 2nd May**

There was a nervous, yet excited feeling in the South London air on Saturday, 2nd May.

Everyone knew that a win against an already relegated Portsmouth would see Palace bounce back to the WSL at the first time of asking.

Charlton Athletic were in first, one point ahead of Palace on 42 points, whilst second-place Birmingham City were level on points with Palace with a significantly better goal difference.

Charlton played Birmingham at home, meaning that one of the two sides would drop points - allowing Palace to claim an automatic spot provided they win at the VBS.

In a sense - the final game perfectly represented Palace's season as a whole.

It was an uncharacteristically nervy first-half, and Portsmouth took the lead through Meg Hornby.

Sharpe equalised eight minutes later, and Palace went into the break level - not enough to guarantee automatic promotion.

After a half-time team talk and the introduction of Lola Brown, the Eagles took the field for what they hoped would be the final 45 minutes of their season.

Weerden crushed the initial second-half nerves within two minutes, finishing superbly from Brown's slide-rule pass.

She then made it 3-1 on 55 minutes, again assisted by Brown. 

Weerden then turned provider just two minutes later, and laid on a record-breaking tenth assist for Howat to thump home for 4-1.

Blanchard put the Eagles 5-1 up on 64 minutes before Brown got her third assist from the bench - whipping in a sensational cross for Elise Hughes to nod home for 6-1.

Much like the season, Palace had started tentatively and had gone behind early.

But after a rousing half-time team talk, Potter's side came to life and showed the form they had exhibited for six straight months.

Birmingham's win over Charlton meant that the Eagles would finish in second-place, and Charlton would drop down into the promotion playoff spot.

With the result wrapped up in emphatic style, the VBS exploded into celebration at full-time as Palace booked their place in next season's WSL.

After an incredible turnaround in form and fortunes, Crystal Palace Women returned to the Women's Super League at the first time of asking. This is how it happened...

## From Academy to Premier League

> Having joined the Palace Academy from Brentford in 2016, Tyrick Mitchell rose to prominence rapidly at Palace and set the record for the youngest-ever player to make 200 Premier League appearances for the club.

Mitchell was a regular in both of Palace's Under-18 and Under-23 Professional Development League South winning teams in 2017/18 as he spent a second campaign featuring at both levels.

A recruit from Brentford at the end of the 2015/16 season, Mitchell, an attacking left-back with bundles of pace, impressed sufficiently for the Academy side to be handed a chance with the Development team in 2016. He used that experience to his advantage in 17/18 as he helped his two teams to silverware.

In 2018/19, Mitchell was a regular fixture in Richard Shaw's U23s team and joined the first-team on their pre-season tour in the summer of 2019.

After returning from an injury sustained while on tour, Mitchell made several first-team squads and earned his Premier League debut against Leicester City in July 2020. He went on to secure his first Premier League start by playing the full 90 minutes against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

In April 2021, he signed a contract extension through til the end of 2024/25. Mitchell then followed this up with his first goal and assist for the Eagles, as helped the side to a 3-2 victory over Aston Villa in May 2021.

His performances throughout 21/22 saw him earn a senior England call-up for the first time in March 2022, making his debut in a 2-1 win over Switzerland.

Mitchell was nearly ever-present in 2022/23, featuring for Palace in 38 out of a possible 41 games in all competitions. He made his 100th appearance in red and blue against Tottenham Hotspur towards the end of the campaign and was also awarded the PFA Community Champion Award for his support for the Palace for Life Foundation.

He was again so close to being ever-present in 2023/24, this time only missing a single game through injury. Nevertheless, he continued to make the left-back position his own, and even stepping further forward as a left wing-back under new manager Oliver Glasner. Mitchell concldued the campaign with his best attacking returns, with two goals and three assists.

In 2024/25, Mitchell was one of the first names on the teamsheet - featuring in 37 out of a possible 38 league games. He kept 11 clean sheets in the league, assisting five times. 

He also kept four clean sheets in the games he featured in as Palace lifted the FA Cup.

Palace in Europe - Shop the Collection

As Oliver Glasner’s side continue to balance Premier League football with a historic run to the UEFA Conference League Final, the Eagles have now surpassed the previous benchmark set by Steve Coppell’s promotion-winning team of 1988/89 – which was a marathon 59-game campaign which ended in unforgettable fashion at Selhurst Park.

Counting 30 minutes' extra-time in the last game of the season – 3rd June, 1989, but we'll come onto that in a moment – one forward played almost every single minute of the 5,340 available. 

For context – with two games of the campaign remaining – Maxence Lacroix tops the minutes charts for Palace this season, on 4,752 across all competitions. Captain Dean Henderson is next up on 4,500, and Tyrick MItchell third on 4,396.

Hence, few people are better placed to reflect on the physical and mental demands of such a season than **Mark Bright**, who played virtually every minute of that historic 88/89 campaign, missing only a brief spell – reportedly around 10 minutes – after being substituted against Leicester City.

That campaign, the Eagles battled through league fixtures, cup competitions and the club’s first-ever play-off campaign before securing promotion back to the First Division.

Now, with Palace preparing to finish another record-breaking season with a major final, Bright can see clear parallels between the two eras.

“It was an epic season,” Bright reflected. “Coming towards the end, I think Coppell said we had to win a certain amount of games to make sure we got promotion, and we didn’t.

“We ended up in the play-offs and suddenly everything became even bigger because every game carried so much pressure.”

The 1988/89 season had begun steadily enough. Palace opened the campaign with a draw against recently relegated Chelsea, and spent much of the early months hovering around mid-table while also competing in the Littlewoods Cup and Full Members Cup.

But momentum gradually built across the second half of the season. By April, Palace were charging towards the play-off places, winning six of eight league matches to climb into the top four, with the prolific strike partnership of Bright and Ian Wright driving the promotion push.

The fixture list, however, was relentless. Including cup competitions and the play-offs, Palace would eventually play 59 matches – a club record at the time, and one which stood for nearly four decades, until this season’s side eclipsed it.

For Bright, simply getting through that volume of matches was an achievement in itself.

“I’d say it was probably the first time I’d done it and the last time I did it,” he said of starting virtually every game that season.

“It’s just a tough thing to do. Especially as a striker, because you’re constantly involved physically, you’re getting kicked, you’re sprinting, you’re challenging defenders all the time.

“The pitches weren’t as good then either. Conditions were difficult and there wasn’t really any recovery work like there is now. You just had to keep going.”

It’s mentally draining as much as physically

Modern footballers have access to nutritionists, cryotherapy, tailored recovery sessions and extensive sports science support. In 1989, recovery often amounted to little more than a warm-down and rest before the next game arrived.

“Everything’s better now – nutrition, cryotherapy, massages and all that,” Bright explained. 

“We didn’t really have any of that. You’d come in, warm up, train or play, stretch off and go home. But football is football. It was tough on your body.”

The mental challenge, Bright says, was just as difficult as the physical one.

“You’re going into games tired,” he admitted. “It’s mentally draining as much as physically because you’re constantly preparing for the next game while still recovering from the last one.

“I remember by the summer my body was exhausted. I was just flat. No energy at all for the first couple of weeks after the season finished.”

That exhaustion only intensified once Palace entered the play-offs. After narrowly missing out on automatic promotion despite a dramatic 4-1 final-day victory over Birmingham City, Coppell’s side were thrown into a high-pressure play-off schedule against Swindon Town and Blackburn Rovers.

There was little time to recover, regroup or even reflect.

“You go from the regular season straight into massive games,” Bright recalled. “We lost 1-0 away at Swindon and then had to play again a few days later.

“But all the lads just said: ‘We haven’t come this far not to go through.’”

What followed was one of the great Selhurst Park nights. Goals from Ian Wright and Bright secured a 2-0 victory over Swindon in front of a packed and raucous home crowd, sending Palace into the play-off final against Blackburn.

The first leg at Ewood Park ended in disappointment with Palace beaten 3-1, leaving the Eagles facing another uphill battle back in South London.

But even during the long journey home from Lancashire, Bright remembers the belief within the squad.

“Coming back on the coach from Blackburn, everyone was saying: ‘We’re not going out. We haven’t come this far to go out.’

“We knew if we scored one, the atmosphere at Selhurst could carry us.”

That atmosphere remains one of Bright’s strongest memories from the season.

“When we came out for the warm-up, everybody already seemed in position. Usually fans are still coming in or having a drink, but the stadium was already buzzing.

“There was this feeling of excitement and anticipation everywhere. We had to not concede and score three – and that’s exactly what we did.”

Palace overturned the deficit in dramatic fashion, with Ian Wright’s extra-time header sealing promotion in front of a sell-out Selhurst Park crowd and sparking a pitch invasion which has since become part of club folklore.

For Bright, that unforgettable ending made the demands of the season worthwhile.

“The reward for going up was immense,” he said. “It made everything worth it.”

You just have to play the era you’re in

There are obvious similarities between that 1988/89 side and Palace’s current campaign.

Both seasons stretched deep into the calendar. Both involved constant physical demands and little recovery time. And both built towards a huge occasion at the end of an exhausting journey.

For the current squad, that occasion comes in the form of a European final – another landmark moment in Palace history.

Bright believes modern players face their own unique challenges, particularly with the intensity of today’s game and the volume of fixtures elite teams now play.

“These guys are playing every four or five days,” he said. “That’s hard. 

"The more successful you are, the more matches you play because you’re in Europe, you’re in cup competitions and you’re probably away with your national team as well.

“The best players are basically playing all year round.”

Yet despite the changes in sports science, tactics and preparation across generations, Bright believes one thing remains constant.

“You just have to play the era you’re in,” he said. "You demand the best of yourself every week, perform, recover and then go again.

“That’s football.”

**Only supporters who are registered as disabled with the club will be allowed PA tickets.**

Disabled supporters who wish to sit within the standard allocation are welcome to do so – however, they will be required to purchase their PA ticket.

Disabled supporters should have registered their PAs at the time of ticket registration; if you do not receive an access code for your PA, please email [dlo@cpfc.co.uk](mailto:dlo@cpfc.co.uk) with ‘Missing code for PA’ in the subject bar, and we will send a code for you to use for your PA.

If you would like to sit in the Easy Access seating or the Wheelchair spaces, please email [dlo@cpfc.co.uk](mailto:dlo@cpfc.co.uk) with ‘Leipzig Accessible seating’ in the subject bar, detailing your Client Reference Number and the access code you have been emailed.

Do not use the code you are issued via CPFC main email, as this will not have access to the accessible area. Do not pass this code onto anyone else to use, as this will stop you purchasing your tickets the accessible area. Only codes issued by the DLO will have access to the accessible seating areas. 

Please ensure that you email the DLO as soon as you have received your code from us. If we are over-subscribed for these areas, then sales will be processed via the Loyalty Points system.

### Ticket delivery

All tickets for this game will be issued as 100% Mobile Digital Tickets and will be downloadable via the UEFA Mobile Tickets App:

- [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/ro/app/uefa-mobile-tickets/id1574657671) (version 13.0 or later)
- [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uefa.blockchain.android.ticket) (version 7.0 or later)

Tickets cannot be retrieved via email to Apple or Google Wallets, and one account cannot be accessed from multiple devices (1 login = 1 phone). Please ensure you use the same phone to access the Leipzig Arena on the day of the match as you first access your ticket on.

**Supporters can have multiple tickets on one device** – however, it is recommended to have no more than two tickets on one device, to avoid slowing the queues at the turnstiles.

Once the supporter has received their ticket they are unable to forward on to anyone else. If a supporter can no longer attend the game, the supporter is required to send back to the lead buyer, who can put the ticket up for resale.

When possible, we recommend always sending to the individual ticket owner.

### Important Information

**All access codes are fully trackable and will be checked by the Palace Box Office**.

**Each code is unique and is allocated to each supporter. Your code is for your own individual use.**

**Any supporter found transferring or allowing another person to use their code will be blocked from purchasing away tickets for the 2026/27 season**. The club will receive a report once the game has finished with each name used for each code.

Should the club find that a ticket is not purchased – or used – by the intended recipient of the access code, **we reserve the right to cancel the ticket and apply further sanctions**.

Qualifying supporters who have already purchased via the UEFA ballot will still be able to purchase within the above Sales Phases if they qualify.
