Crystal Palace apologise to Preston for "Lancashite outfit" claim


Crystal Palace have apologised after describing Preston as a "Lancashite outfit."

The Eagles made the boob in a Press release announcing the signing of defender Claude Davis from Derby.

Recollecting the time the player spent at Preston at the start of his career, the Selhurst outfit said: "He made over 100 appearances in all competitions for the Lancashite outfit."

Palace press officer Thomas Coupland insisted: "I would like to apologise.

"It was purely a typo and not a deliberate attempt to tarnish the name of our Championship counterparts."


And some people moan about our wonderful OS : - )

Good to see Championship counterprats apologising for typos.

Haha I got this press release yesterday and did point it out to Palace. It was a genuine mistake and they took it in good humour.

Is there a link for the story you put up Henry? I would love to know which publication actually printed that.

T next to R on the keyboard so yes just a typo but funny in a mild titter sort of way.
