[Albion] Crawley

[Super Steve Earle]

No it’s not?

Crawley is exclusively in West Sussex
Horley is in Surrey

I quote from the Encyclopedia Britannica:

Crawley, district (borough) and town, administrative county of West Sussex, southern England. Most of the borough belongs to the historic county of Sussex, but its northern portion is within the historic county of Surrey.

 

[London Irish]

Tuesday's away crowd was Crawley's fourth-highest away attendance ever. The third-highest was Goldstone '92 (third and second, respectively, if you don't count neutral venues like Wembley)

It’s not correct sadly

Red line depicts the boundary (north of Gatwick)

The boundary is slightly lower to the east (east of the M23) but Shipley Bridge / Burstow are independent of Crawley

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

And in between is Gatwick, also in Sussex. The county border is on that 1 mile stretch of the A23 north of Gatwick between the roundabout/hotel and the first Manor Royal roundabout. That border is at least 3 miles north of Crawley.

Gatwick is part of the historic county of Surrey.

 

[Simster]

Gatwick is part of the historic county of Surrey.

Indeed. It was part of Surrey until 1974 apparently, but has been West Sussex ever since.

That won't be the historic boundary, a small part of Surrey and large part of East Sussex were moved to West Sussex at some point in the 70s-ish

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Gatwick is part of the historic county of Surrey.

It’s not, Gatwick is exclusively in West Sussex, Charlwood and Hookwood to the north of Gatwick is the other side of the county line.

It was previously registered in Surrey but it’s been wet Sussex since the mid 70’s as part of the expansion

Haha! Did you not read my post. I stated that Gatwick is part of the historic county of Surrey which it still is. You are talking about council boundaries. In much the same way the Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells is in the administrative county of Kent but are still part of the historic county of Sussex.

Buy up Crawley's two best player and stick them in the u15s , then on cleaning the players cars.

Gatwick was in Surrey, Crawley Bourough was expanded to take in Gatwick. Crawley didn't include Gatwick when Gatwick was Surrey.

I did, and agree historically it was within Surrey

It wasn’t just a change of council boundaries the county borders changes in 72, but Horley and Charlwood argued against the act they were reinstated to Surrey (mole valley and Reigate and Banstead) but the airport move to West Sussex on a county boundary basis, as it remains today

Apparently Williams' tackle on MOR was 'a little late and a little clumsy'.

I should have used that excuse on my wedding night when I shagged my wife's sister up the khyber.

I think the best description was that the tackle was with ‘excessive force’ …. How you take your wife’s sister is up to you!

Back in the day didn't there used to be a pub on A23 where groups from Crawley and Brighton used in have a bit of a scrap?

Strood motel, Wicksteed?

So Lancing College is great and all the working class bits of Sussex are shitholes. I don't know what the banter is meant to be here but it all looks a bit Hyacinth Bouquet to me

Oh give it a rest.

It was an arguably comical dig at a town that had just acted like idiots in a football match and is jokingly referred to as a bit of a dive.

This is a football forum comprised mainly of middle aged - elderly men and women. Do we really need to be acting like millenial snowflakes.

Get a grip. Some places are a bit run down and uninspiring and sometimes people have a bit of a lighthearted dig at them.

Jesus wept. What has this board become!

Tidied that up for you
