No one expected Sunday, 26th July to end the 2019/20 season.
Crystal Palace were supposed to be a week or two away from kick-starting their Premier League campaign for 2020/21, having spent their pre-season together in Australia and with 23,000 supporters preparing themselves for a long awaited return to Selhurst Park.
Instead, they're preparing to close out a 50-week campaign in front of vacant seats, their partial 'close' season spent isolated at home and without the usual vociferous backing that makes Selhurst Park so impenetrable on the final day.
But the Eagles will be lifted by their record in SE25 - winning all four of their last matches at Selhurst on the final day of the season.
