Well he'll make a nice companion for Eddie... bit worried that Albion don't seem to have a gay icon supporter (or at least public)...
That's a bit of a failed attempt at value signaling. Eddie Izzard now identifies as 'she' and has described herself as a lesbian trapped in a man's body. However, she's not a gay man. By suggesting that she would make a nice companion for a gay man, you seem to be just chucking people in a single bag marked 'other'. And unless you are suggesting that doing the adverts for your new sponsor immediately makes Rylan a Palace fan, you also don't have a gay icon supporter. Very few teams do - Watford obviously, Arsenal have Matt Lucas, Paul Sinha's a big Liverpool fan, but I can't think of a lot more.
Incidentally, Palace do seem to have more comedy types supporting them than most teams: Izzard, Jo Brand, Kevin Day, Mark & Elliot Steele, the Inbetweeners' James Buckley, the sadly departed Sean Hughes, the sadly not departed Nookie Bear and haven't I also seen the entire cast of 'People Just Do Nothing' dressing up in black pyjamas and stealing the best seats off some of your long term fans?
