Premier League Football Comes to Whyteleafe FC

Crystal Palace will play their home fixture against premier league giants Chelsea at Whyteleafe FCs Church Road Stadium on Saturday the 10th of April 2021.

A spokesperson for the chairman of Crystal Palace said, “We decided to play the game at a local team’s ground. Whyteleafe FC have always been incredibly supportive and helpful to us over the years, so it’s time to repay the favour and put them into the spotlight”. Of course, with no fans allowed this decision has been made a lot easier with the Premier League approving the switch last evening.

Letter from the Editor – December 2020

Welcome to December’s edition of The Caterham and District Independent.

Well, we’ve made it. As we move through the final weeks of what has been a strange and unsettling year I’m profoundly grateful that not only are we still here, but that we’re ending our first twelve months bigger and better than ever before, with plenty of exciting plans for the future.
