[AZ Gull]

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

Tariq Lamptey and Jojo Wollacott.

Doesn’t Crawleys goalkeeper play for Ghana? As does Lamptey ?

Yup good work AZ Gull and Langdon - and they almost joined by a Palace player but Ayew has recently hopped it

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!

How did you resist saying woke, must have been a great effort of will that

They are joined by another Albion player, though.

Not really.

 

[osgood]

Yep
I remember going.

Me too , Bus from The ol Stein , or pool valley !

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

for the un-initiated as I need to go there fairly soon, are there any good pubs in Crawley?

I think the Goff’s Park can be considered to be acceptable. I’d describe it as edge of town rather than in the town centre though.

This is a bit like the argument I had on twitter with a lifelong resident of Barnet who refused to believe is was now part of London.

Even when I asked him who he paid his council tax to.

 

[clapham_gull]

The reality is that Crawley was historically part of Croydon until a meteorite hit it and shifted the area to the south.

Other parts of the area ended up in Portsmouth and even further south within a region of Spain known as Benidorm.

"Beni" is an Arabic word meaning "sons of", "dorm" a local misspelling of the name "Doreen" who very annoyed but did over time come to appreciate the better weather.

Crawley has never been Palace.

I’m sure we’ve been through this. I went to school there early 80s and there were supporters of all London clubs inc Palace, The Albion were well represented but In my group of friends the most popular were Arsenal and Chelsea, but I knew Brentford fans and even a regular at West Brom. Also some nasty dudes lived there inc Millwall’s Harry The Dog, Chelsea’s DW (I think someone said he’d died) and the Corelli (sp?) brothers who were the main ringleaders at Selhurst at the time.

I’ve friends who own a big pub in Crawley, been in the family for 50 years. They all went to Crawley schools. The pub has a big football crowd with a giant screen.

Whenever I’ve mentioned (guessing) about CP supporters in their town, they always dismiss it. They don’t know where I coming from.

Instead, in order: Chelsea, Arsenal (since George Graham), Spurs and Brighton. Brighton isn’t a new thing, they went in the Goldstone era and have come back.

Krelle, not Corelli, but said similarly. Martin was an arse, the other one wasn't so bad. I still see him about occasionally, big bald fat bastard, you wouldn't recognise him.
Doug W was fringe to the headhunters, the Police messed up the undercover op and got him and another much more active "Doug" mixed up. Harry the Dog was trying to keep out of trouble in Crawley, he moved down for that reason.

Difficult to slag off the town of Crawley when the best band from Sussex came from there.

Ah yes this makes sense, the “Krelli’s” luckily the closest I got to them was having a broom shoved in my face whilst singing an anti palace song when queuing up for a chilli burger in A Matter Of Taste. I never got chance to check their passports. The Doug mix up makes sense although I did see him chase Steve Thorns with a knife once although i thought he was alright.
I knew Harry from his days on the door at Bar Amelia (?)

MK was nicked as part of an undercover Police op. They totally f***ed it up though, they had one of the Palace as having been involved in fighting somewhere, when he was actually at a wedding, and had lots of photos to prove it. That alone got the whole case and months of Police work discredited. The undercover officers apparently got stuck in themselves quite a bit, more so than some of the blokes they tried to send down.

 

[Cheggers]

Go on Barnsley.

 

[Triggaaar]

Go on Barnsley.

0-2 to Barnsley, fantastic.
