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.

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

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

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.

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

A little Thursday evening quiz for you - a Brighton player and a Crawley player who both started on Tuesday will be part of the same squad next week - name our player at least if the Crawley one is beyond you

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!
