'We will ensure those employed for these fixtures are not disadvantaged financially': Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish offers staff assurances over pay amid coronavirus outbreak

Crystal Palace have offered staff assurances over pay following the outbreak of coronavirus.

With the leagues shut down until at least April 3, and many expecting it to be for much longer, the finances of clubs up and down the country have been hit, with non-league Barnet already making 60 staff redundant.

Palace have vowed to support their employees and chairman Steve Parish has said anyone affected by Covid-19 will still receive full pay instead of statutory sick pay.
