Crawley Town are f***ed

[vulture]

Hi just heard that unless the creditors accept the only offer on the table Crawley are f***ed and out of business.The problem being that offer is from the brothers Grim.
Dont understand how the Majeds can bust Crawley then offer to buy them back at 20% of the debt they owe
Looks like Crawley are well and truly f***ed

 

[Les Biehn]

f***ing hell, thats harsh.

Apparently there are 5 offers on the table. Or there were last week.

Yeah. Perhaps we could buy their shit "One team in Sussex" flag off them?

 

[Brighton till i die]

we can have their ground and build up the side opposite the main stand - lovely jublly - 4 sides, terracing - happy days - no more f***ing withdean!!

Awful news.

I've been trying to think what the point of all this has been, why they're doing it, why they want the club back even now, and the only thing I can think of is the ground.....

 

[Curious Orange]

I thought the council owned the ground?

 

[desprateseagull]

wasnt there some millionaire guy making an offer?

if it goes tits up, perhaps BHA could switch there from Withdean (groundshare been done before..!), and tell LDC to go stuff emselves..

They do, hence why even if we wanted/had to play there, it's unlikely we ever will. Crawley Town have little or no assets whatsoever as far as I understand things.

Sigh. Been here, done this. It's more than 8 miles from Brighton. The league will say no.

Sad news, if this does happen to Crawley, though.

Nightmare for Crawley fans - and it was looking so optimistic last week too

So what was the reasoning in letting Wimbledon move 60 miles to Milton Keynes ?

Just curious like...

That is harsh. But was also the first thought that went through my head.

Not called Wimbledon any more tho are they?

Not sure the league would mind tho - how far is Merton from Crystal Palarse? or Charlton to Palarse?

I can't see any chance of survival. The Majeeds will win.

Incidentally, if the club does not own the ground why have the Majeeds shown such interest in them. Can they make money out of the club?
