brighton and Crawley

[overspill red army]

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.

 

[beardy gull]

...and a mightily impressive 2742 Crawley fans were there to witness it.
One team in Sussex.

Sorry but couldn't give a shit about Crawley. Non league outfit, with a dodgy betting backroom scam?

I bet Rovers took near on a 1000 too.

Have you not been keeping up to date, Crawley were promoted into the league last year.

 

[TottonSeagull]

One great club with a bit of history and one plastic club with questionable investors! Couldn't give a shit about Crawley, shit town shit club!

 

[Brighton till i die]

f***ing hate crawley hope they come crashing back down lively

 

[Tux the albion Penguin]

Couldn't give two monkey's about Creepy. I know I don't like Manure but what they did mocking the aeroplane disaster took the piss really.

951. I've deducted them from the attendance figure. Noddy outfit.

harsh chaps, gives the norh sussex oiks something to do instead of follow pale arse......would have thought that was a positive.

I'm really hating that I had Swindon rather than Crawley in my accumulator (alongside Brighton & Charlton). Initial inclination was to go for the latter, but Swindon's odds were four times better. Sodding idiot Di Canio.

Total gate of 3693, doesnt it only hold just over 4000 ?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Pleased from a Sussex football perspective, however can't help thinking it will all end in tears with bankruptcy and people owed money etc... etc...

 

[Lord Bamber]

The only surprise about this thread is Steve Foster didnt start it.

Because Crawley have come into some money, i e a rich successfully business man wanting to spend his money on a football club to make then successfully you think its wrong ?

How else did other clubs do it ?

Were just lucky we got Tony Bloom. see what I just did there.

 

[bhaexpress]

How long can Crawley sustain their place on those gates though ?

I think a further difference is non-league clubs (last year) did not have players earning more than Championship players (source - quoted by Robbbie Savage on radio 2). Can Crawley over a period of time really survive on 3500 gates, whilst paying excessive wages?

Of course we were fortunate, but I like to think there is a solid infrastructure sitting behind it....

No prem or Championship games! so should be a bumper crowd, playing against the Gas (decent support) that is prob as bigger crowd as crawley can muster.
