Must have been nice for the 50% or so of them who were sitting down.
I imagine padding on a seat is a luxury when you live in a place where your furniture is regularly nicked or burned.

The most unfortunate thing about this result is that if the time between playing them and scores continues, then in 2152 we’ll have a 0-0 draw.

It wasnt a big day out that was the playoff final at Wembley .It was however a big evening out and why wouldn't it be for a club that is one of the smallest in the football league .We have a fan base of about 5000 that pretty much all come from the town.We beat league 2 Swindon in the previous round and then draw premier league Brighton at their place .So of course it's massive game for Crawley and it's supporters .I do take issue with who made the most noise because it's a bit unfair when the home team have 16000 voice and the away 3000.Thought you were outsang most of the game on your big day out - could hardly hear you lot
Crawley were vocal for much longer periods then Brighton,but when on the two occasions Brighton broke into Al bi on it did sound decent and carried round the Amex pretty well and would obviously had been louder then the Crawley fans for those rare occasions you bothered to sing .

I'm not here for an argument, but there's only one side after a rivalry here, my friend, and it's not us. What rivalry? What would be the point? When are we ever likely to play you again? All I see is people pissed off with the obvious strategy of going out last night with the intention of going out there to kick players, break up play by whatever means possible and hit opponents with cheap shots. I've seen us play- winning and losing- against all manner of lower league teams at the Amex, and the general convention is that the opponent gets applauded off the pitch, even when (or especially if) they've won. Because they've earned it. If Crawley had played the football they did without trying to be the hard man, then you'd have had a similarly benign reception, in a sort of "well played, thanks for coming, see you in 32 years time" kind of way. The adverse reaction was not formed of any kind of rivalry, however, it was just anger at what had gone on. We'll be over it pretty quickly, you can rest assured of that (in the same way that we're not going to sit around congratulating ourselves on winning 4-0- it was an expected result in the least exciting cup competition there is).
Many people on here- myself included- wished you well last season when we noticed you'd made the play offs, and certainly when we saw it was against grubby MK Dons. I actually watched some of that game on the TV and I thought you played some great football. Similarly, I thought you played some good stuff last night, albeit your strikers and wingers are clearly absolute village even by League One standards of finishing, and we weren't exactly throwing everything into attack simply because we didn't need to, as we were winning the game. Not to mention I suspect a few of our players probably just wanted to get through that game without being smashed into next week by some non-league no-mark out to make a name for himself on the telly.
I don't actually know who Crawley consider their rivals to be- the problem you have is presumably finding somebody who cares enough to be bothered (much as you're evidently trying your hardest here). If some third division clogger goes through that centre half of yours next weekend and injures him, it's not going to be a cause for celebration on here or anywhere else in fact, because nobody will even know about it.
So here we are. I will wish you luck against whoever it is you're playing on Saturday, but I can't say I'll be glued to my phone awaiting updates. To paraphrase Millwall: no-one hates you, no-one cares.
And not being cared about is even worse than being hated, isn't it?

The thing is with the Amex is that if you sit at one end, you can't really hear the other because the noise of the people around you singing drowns everything else out.
I normally sit level with the half way line, so I hear one side sing, then the opposition, and at the end they're all shouting about the other side being silent. Was pretty much the same last night, other than a small, prolonged flurry from the Crawley fans after they'd had a couple of shots. I'm really not into all this "our fans are better than yours" drivel that some people love to perpetuate, but unless Leeds are in town, it's generally much of a muchness in the Premier League.
Even Palace's super super fans were weirdly quiet last time they came, for some reason.

Crawley are a nothing team. I hope they enjoyed their trip to the Amex.
Unless they start car boot sales, it’ll be some time before they are back.

Wasn’t me though, any chance of finding the attendance link for the Blackpool match?

Shame the Abergavenny Arms went. My funniest memory of that was sitting across from a, not unattractive, women in a crop top who insisted on raising her arms in a very expressive way and giving a full flash of her upper assets. I'm not sure how intended it was but, being an innocent lad, I was a little in shock.
EDIT- It appears it is still there. Although this was so long ago that I suspect she would merely need to lift her jumper just above belt level now
Away fans more vocal despite being outnumbered hugely by home fans - like loads of PL away games……but you wouldn’t know that
You haven't actually answered my question about whether you think it's okay for a player to wink, smile and have a laugh when he has just seriously injured a fellow professional?
Still there and been open for a fair few years now, I know was closed for ages.
