The number of football-related Crystal Palace fan arrests last season
The arrests were among 1,932 reported across England and Wales during the season – an 11 per cent decrease compared to the previous year.
The season, which ran from July 2024 to May 2025, saw incidents recorded at 1,583 matches, an 18 per cent increase in reported incidents year-on-year.
Crystal Palace fans were arrested for a range of offences, with the most common being public disorder and possession of Class A drugs.
The full list of offences linked to Palace supporters includes:
One for violent disorder
Five for public disorder
One for entering the pitch
Two for alcohol offences
Two for possession of pyrotechnics
One for breach of a banning order
Seven for possession of Class A drugs
The Home Office said the most common arrest types nationally were public disorder (32 per cent), violent disorder (22 per cent), and possession of Class A drugs (19 per cent).
The offence category involving Class A drugs was made a Schedule 1 offence in November 2022, and arrests linked to this offence type have more than doubled since the 2022 to 2023 season.
Alcohol-related offences continue to decline, now making up just 8 per cent of all football-related arrests – a notable drop from 34 per cent during the 2010 to 2011 season.
Meanwhile, pitch incursions have also fallen to their lowest levels in years, accounting for just 3 per cent of arrests this season.
In total, 1,803 of the 1,932 football-related arrests during the season involved fans from clubs in the top six tiers of English football.
Crystal Palace, who compete in the Premier League, saw fewer arrests than some top-flight rivals but remain part of wider concerns around fan behaviour and safety.
The Home Office and football authorities continue to work closely with clubs and police forces to tackle anti-social behaviour and ensure matches remain safe for all supporters.

Ventura High linebacker Tristan Phillips makes sure to maximize his talent
Seventh in a series of stories profiling top high school football players by position. Today, Tristan Phillips, Ventura linebacker. It's lunch time, and standout linebacker Tristan Phillips has arrived in his truck at a private training facility near Ventura High for a workout. When he starts his stretching exercises, you can't miss his bulging biceps or the intense focus on his face. 'He's obsessed with working to be the best possible version of himself,' coach Tim Garcia said. At 6 feet 3 1/2 and 215 pounds, Phillips' size alone makes him someone running backs and quarterbacks want to avoid. Add his work ethic to keep getting stronger, his instincts to figure out where the ball is going and his passion to finish plays, and you have a linebacker with all the qualities to be successful. 'I'm very obsessed with the process,' the 17-year-old said. Last season as a junior, Phillips recorded 80 tackles, including nine for losses. At first, the recruiting process was slow, then came a point when he was getting constant phone calls and texts. He's committed to Oregon and has offered a lesson to those just beginning to understand the changes taking place. He stressed it needs to be a 'balancing act.' 'At first, it was hard to navigate through and frustrating when I wasn't getting the attention I thought I deserved,' he said. 'When I got a couple offers, I felt it was amazing. I realized how stressful it gets coaches calling you and texting you. It can be a lot for a 17-year-old kid.' Phillips has been helped by the background of his father, Brett, who used to coach at Rio Mesa, Oxnard Pacifica and Channel Islands. His late grandfather was the principal and former coach at Rio Mesa. He has lived in Ventura all his life and has grown up with quarterback Derek Garcia. They'd carpooled since youth days, Phillips asking questions of Garcia's dad hoping to prepare to play high school football. 'He's always had support of his parents with understanding what athletics does for younger generation and to be productive on a daily basis,' Tim Garcia said. 'Watching his growth as not just as an athlete but a human being is special. Tristan was always asking the right questions. 'What's going on with Ventura? What about this player? What do you think of this?'' From an early age, he had his mind set what he wanted to do.' So what makes people excited about Phillips as a linebacker? 'His ability to make plays directly at him and away from him are spectacular to watch,' Garcia said. Said Phillips: 'Whether blocking or hitting on defense, I want to make sure I'm putting you in the ground and you're feeling it.' Much of Phillips' preparation comes from his belief that magical things can happen in the weight room. During the spring, he was lifting in the morning, then in the afternoon, but also recognizing he needs time to recover and not to overdo it. 'On a football team, it all starts in the weight room,' he said. 'You have to be sturdy, strong, fast, move side to side, keep yourself healthy. There's a lot of things you can do in the weight room to prevent injury and improve.' Phillips' competitiveness comes through in workouts and executing little things, such as stretching. It's all part of the process he embraces trying to get better every day. 'I'll admit I'm a sore loser,' he said. 'I put so much time into it. I know you're not going to win every battle but just making the most of every opportunity really matters.' Tuesday: Palos Verdes defensive back Jalen Flowers.

Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb returns to full training camp, excited for 2025 season
Around this time last year, Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was holding out for a new contract extension and was not in attendance for the 2024 training camp. On Wednesday, his elation to be in Oxnard was evident by his wide, distinguishable smile. "I don't think anyone is more excited than me…[except] maybe Sam Williams," Lamb said. "I love every part of being here with the guys grinding. Even when I'm tired, I think about last year when I wasn't here. Just doing the things that I love with my team, being better on my craft, and having this helmet on and being able to work with Dak. Those are the type of things that I've missed." Lamb will have his first full camp since the 2023 season. Though productive, he felt that his 2024 season was somewhat unusual. The 4x pro-bowler finished last year with 101 receptions, totaling 1,194 yards and six touchdowns. Mind you, that was despite missing the final two regular-season games and being without Dak Prescott for the back half of the year. Lamb acknowledged that his absence from training camp contributed to a slow start, but is excited about what he and a healthy Prescott can do with a full offseason together. "I think I was a little oblivious to the truth," Lamb said. "Honestly, I think it was during the San Fran game. I want to say the first half, that was when I was like, 'Wow everything that I was doing was really just for me.' It's not ever just for me. I feel like the league knows what happens when I'm healthy and I have Dak for a whole season, but if you don't, I will happily show you what it's going to be like. I can't wait to show you guys" One big difference in the receiver room is the addition of George Pickens. The dynamic, playmaking duo has seemed inseparable since the Cowboys traded for Pickens back in May. Much was said about Picken's attitude, but Lamb quickly shot that down after getting to know him off the field. "Honestly, it's just the type of receiver that we both are and we see in each other," Lamb said. "I want him to get everything that he's deserved in his career. Obviously, there's a narrative wrapped around him, which I haven't seen yet. He's not as crazy as he seems to be. If you talk to this man and have a decent conversation with him, I guarantee you'll understand that this man has a kind heart." "Oh yeah, for sure," Pickens responded when asked if he and Lamb can be the best receiving pair in the NFL. "Just different type of styles of play. A lot of people over the years got different styles of play, but CeeDee's a certain type of guy, then I'm a certain type of guy. So, when you mesh that together, it's like Mario Bros. We definitely can do something special." As for the receiving core as a whole, Lamb was asked by CBS Sports Texas' Bill Jones how he thinks he and the rest of the league compare. Much like how he praises himself, he had a brief yet confident answer. "I like us versus anybody, honestly," Lamb said. "Anyone, any room…I don't care what they be saying in the media. I see it, and I ignore it. We'll see in September. I don't really do much talking."
