Crawley as a town has no connection to Palace,it has some Palace fans but they are a minority in this town and are hardly noticed.
It really is wrong to think that Crawley is Palace territory because it never has been and never will be.
Having lived in Crawley for over 4 decades i can tell you...
Its bloody obvious by the amount of times Crawley topics turn up on a Brighton message board that you all love Crawley and especially its football club,blimey, once upon a time you even wanted to play at the Broadfield stadium.
Mr Kuiper's is liked by the Crawley fans.
Having watched him for over a season now its fair to say that he will make the odd error in a match.
Also,he does seem to find himself in the ref's note book more then he ought to.
He was sent off last season for punching an opponent right in the head.It...
Thats right,until Crawley and Brighton face each other in the same league they are not rivals.
It has to be good for Sussex( crawley has always been part of sussex)that two clubs are leading the charge in their leagues.
The crowds will increase at Crawley,the difficulty we have compared to...
Brighton top of the Championship.
Crawley top of League Two.
Sussex having two clubs top of two leagues in English football is pretty bloody good.:clap2:
Great start for you lot down the road.
Crawley also have 10 points from 12 and lead league Two.
If both teams keep this up sussex will see one club in the premiership and the other in league One.
I didn't say i would like a rivalry between Crawley FC and Brighton FC,thats probably years away, if indeed its to happen at all.
Just pointing out the rivalry the two towns have had for the last 30 years,including the one football match we have had.
I quite agree.Crawley have never had a firm that follow the club.
Just recalling the one time we played Brighton in a proper match and the aftermath of what happened because of it.
I wonder if you were at this match?
Crawley ran the west street lot all over the place.
Back in the 80's and 90's even the Brighton night clubs were terrified of Crawley turning up.
If they thought you were from Crawley there was no hope of getting in any where.
Crawley boys had to grab hold of birds in the queue and pretend they...
Your be surprised to know that a big percentage of the 1200 season tickets bought this year were from people outside the town.
The average home crowd in our first season in the conference back in 2003/4 was 2200.
The club were making steady progress up until the Majeed brothers got their claws...
Err,i think your find that the town of Horsham hate Crawley.
Horsham is just a place a few miles away which the people of Crawley pay no attention to either way.
Lets face it the two towns are worlds apart and have nothing at all in common.
