[Football] Crawley withdraw from Sussex Senior Cup

[Murray's Mint]

Worried about their players getting injured playing against cloggers from the leagues below them.

Unbelievable

"After considering the risks and rewards of entering the competition, we ultimately decided it was not in the club’s best interests, owing to the potential risk of injury to our players, which could affect our rigorous League One campaign, which is understandably our priority."

That has to be considered a little ironic

Are they trolling us?

Especially considering it was one of their "cloggers", who did for our £25m singing on his debut in the League Cup.

Hypocritical or what?

To be fair, I kind of agree with them.

I go back to the challenge their captain made. Totally unacceptable and should have been a yellow card at least in my opinion. But, while they were physical and they did everything they could to foul us, with the exception of that challenge and the red card, I've seen a lot worse. It's football.

I think so and fair play to them it's a bloody good effort. Bravo Creepy.

Running scared from Mile Oak and Whitehawk, no surprises.

It's not their fault that they can't afford to field a decent enough third eleven to compete. Bitcoin only goes so far.

Good riddance

 

[Simster]

I'm surprised nobody here has suggested they enter the Surrey Senior Cup instead "as that's where they truly belong" or some other nonsense.

This, clearly can't handle a cold Tuesday night in North Portslade or East Brighton.

 

[jackalbion]

Do find it quite funny they walk around with a champions of Sussex flag, but for the second time in three years have pulled out of the Sussex Senior Cup and the only other time lost 6-2 to Worthing.

 

[Bald Head]

Good riddance

Agree.

Yeh that is quite unbelievable

Hopefully this will be the trigger for the county boundaries to be redrawn and Crawley can be dumped in Surrey.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

What else did you expect from palace lite?

 

[rippleman]

As somone suggested on the other Crawley thread, our players will have mates playing for lower league sides and they are just running scared of the potential "payback" coming their way. Cowards.

 

[Giraffe]

Why don't they go and enter the Surrey Senior Cup instead as that's where they truly belong.

 

[Crawley Dingo]

I'm surprised nobody here has suggested they enter the Surrey Senior Cup instead "as that's where they truly belong" or some other nonsense.

It can be validated by redrawing the county boundary. Almost worth a Go fund me type campaign.

But did you see the culprit wink and smile afterwards?

Normally, they plead innocence.
