Crawley - cashing in on Man U tie...

[Washboard Didgets]

Just seen, they have a special one-off kit for tomorrow's match.

Specially designed by Puma (their normal kit is Lotto)
Sponsored by The Sun newspaper

The kit will also be put on sale to fans (they haven't had a kit supplier this season so haven't been able to sell replica shirts).

Not sure whether I admire them for getting high profile deals done or not.

I know of Albion fans living in Crawley who are going to Old Trafford rather than Stoke tomorrow...

That's a bit silly because we'll be there for the next round...

I don't blame them. Moreover, three years ago we would have done exactly the same. They will want to make all the money they can, and good luck to them!

 

[casbom]

It'll probably be a very long time before Crawley get a highly publicised match like this again, hell yes they gotta make as much money as possible! I'm surprised their main shirt sponsor have allowed it for this occasion but kudos to Crawley for maxmising the moment.

Their fans have been wanting to buy replica shirts all season. At least they'll be able to now.

Why shouldn't they "cash in" on their success? Wouldn't any other club in their position? Get over it!

We did!

Remember the "special edition" white kit for the Palace game?

Already a cash rich club and and just on the FA Cup alone over 2m in the bank.....good on them, just a shame its not Brighton at Old Trafford tomorrow as it will be warmer and I love Prawn Sannies.

Yes, yes I do. And the special edition kit for the Doncater home game (I've got one of them!), and the special edition 'farewell skint' kit. Oh, and when sold off all the pink goalie shirts to get a quick buck following the Yedell/Leeds incident.

Be patient-next round...and that would be the only reason for me to ever enter Old Trafford, to see The Albion.

Or the one off shirt for 10 years since we left the goldstone
Or the one off shirt for the last game being sponsored by skint
Wasn't the palookaville shirt also meant to be a one off too?

Any team in crawley's position would do exactly the same

the difference being who would actually buy it with Sun emplazoned on the front, I certainly wouldn't

 

[Gritt23]

Can't blame them though. This is a MASSIVE windfall opportunity for them.

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Palookaville anyone?

Pink & White Stripes?

 

[Superphil]

Surely the black and blue striped shirt of 1996 falls into this category, worn only once wasn't it?

 

[Woodchip]

Another thread on a club we supposedly don't care about. Clearly you all feel a lot more for them than you're letting on.

I would, as would many others - nothing can compare to having NOBO across your chest

Their main shirt sponser has gone bust

 

[Gully]

Just spoken with one of my neighbours who hails from Crawley, he and some mates are going up for the game tomorrow, reckons they have sold 12,000 tickets...not bad on an average home gate of around 1,500!

Just as well they aren't playing Liverpool then.
