Crawley - do we like them?

[trueblue]

As they may very soon be in the league, do we like them in a kinf of 'aaah, good luck to the little fellas' patronising type of way... or are they set to become deadly local rivals?

 

[Robot Chicken]

They'll never be really serious rivals. I'd like to see them in the league.

Just as long as they NEVER finish up above us. EVER.

 

[dougdeep]

Good luck to them. There's room for two clubs in Sussex.

I don't mind Crawley. Going to watch them soon.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

If they get into the league and we play them in a serious match i think it could start to get nasty.Crawley is mainly made up of the London teams plus some Albion.

 

[Stevie Boy]

i think it would be good to have 2 teams in the league from sussex, Good Luck to them

 

[Thimble Keegan]

I personally have no hate for them as they have done nothing to ignite that sort of feeling. That said I am of the opinion that Conference should be as far as they are allowed to progress. I don't want them in the League and I like us being the only professional club in Sussex.

Albion & England forever.

Well I think they're WANKERS.

Only one non-league team for me - Eastbourne United.

I think it would be a good thing for the county if they got into the league. Im not sure they will be as keen on us though.

Thats nearly palace area

I think it would be healthy to have 2 professional sides in Sussex. It hasn't hurt Hampshire, Devon or Staffordshire for example.

Crawley isn't as big or as far from other major teams as Brighton so they are unlikely to ever pose a serious threat to the Albion but they could be useful in developing some of our younger players, and to be counted on for support in off the field matters.

Welcome them to the league I say

Pedant alert.
Devon have three.

 

[pasty]

Couldn't give a monkeys cuss what they do.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Coming from Horsham I SHOULD hate them...


...but, I know a few people who have played for them over the years and used to pop along to a few games.

It would be good for Sussex to get another league club and they have the basis of a good club.

Nice ground that can be expanded by another 5,000. Decent squad and fair sized town to draw support from though it may be hard to drag the locals away from Chelsea and Palace.

I expect it will end up similar to Orient in that they will hate us and we will not be too bothered about them.

Surely you mean Eastbourne United Association?

You're quite right.

Bizarrely I was neglecting Plymouth when doing my calculations, despite the fact that they are the highest placed of all Devon's clubs

 

[Safeway]

Had to laugh when they did that. They kept the United manager, most of the United players and play at United's ground. The 'Association' bit is merely a poor attempt to make people think Shinewater haven't been disbanded.

 

[cheshunt seagull]

Good luck to them...as long as we are separated by at least one division with us at the top end.

The nightmare scenario.. we don't get Falmer and drop down the league and they move up, expand and become top club in Sussex. Bit like Hellas Verona and Chievo. Hmmm.. picturing that, I am starting to dislike them already.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

They don't seem to like us. We hate Brighton and One Team in Sussex already been trotted out.
