# Crystal Palace: Fans praise club following great gesture to help local services

**Many Crystal Palace fans are praising the club for the way in which they will help out the London Ambulance Service staff the ongoing pandemic.**

These recent events have caused football to be postponed, therefore meaning that the Eagles have had no need to use Selhurst Park. So the club has [tweeted](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1258421580935368704?s=20) out that they have decided to allow the stadium to be utilised by London Ambulance Service staff for breaks when they are on duty, whether this is just to rest or to eat is up to them, whilst hot meals and refreshments will also be provided for all staff.

It is not the only support the club has been providing as they have recently been reaching out to offer help to older generations of fans during the current situation, per [The Evening Standard,](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/crystal-palace-support-elderly-fans-coronavirus-lockdown-a4399416.html) whilst club star Wilfried Zaha has been one of many footballers throughout the sport to offer help by opening up 50 properties in London free of charge to healthcare workers who are battling the virus, via [talkSPORT.](https://talksport.com/football/685263/crystal-palace-wilfired-zaha-nhs-coronavirus/)

Fans of the South London club are proud of how the side are acting and hope it continues.

Here is what they had to say following the tweet:
