Crystal Palace seek increased security for volatile meeting with Nottingham Forest

Crystal Palace is seeking increased security for their Premier League match against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. This comes as Palace fans are planning a protest against Forest, who they believe played a role in Crystal Palace's demotion to the Conference League. The issue stems from UEFA's decision to punish Crystal Palace for breaching multi-club ownership rules due to their former shareholder John Textor's ownership of French club Lyon, who also qualified for the Europa League. Nottingham Forest wrote to UEFA with their observations about the alleged breach and sent their legal team to attend Palace's appeal hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which ultimately upheld the decision. Crystal Palace is in talks with Nottingham Forest and the Metropolitan Police to ensure adequate security measures are in place for the volatile encounter. The club is anticipating a potentially heated situation as their supporters express their anger towards Nottingham Forest for their perceived involvement in the matter.
