- We are again holding our ever-popular family day for the Premiership game against Blackburn here at Selhurst on Saturday.

Before the game there will be entertainment from a Kylie Minogue tribute act, clowns, jugglers, stilt-walkers and face painters. Music will be supplied by a DJ and watch out for Father Christmas who will be walking around giving out free goodies to the kids.

For our famous mascots race, there will be a slight twist on proceedings, so watch this space. Our half-time challenge will be with comedian, and Match of the Day reporter, Kevin Day.

Tickets are available from our box office by calling 0871 200 0071 or you can buy on-line here at www.cpfc.co.uk.
