[Albion] Crawley

The Blue Lagoon on Kingsway at Lunchtime?

Nah. The Kings Head along Fishersgate Terrace. Sadly no more.

The reason I put Winchester and Southampton in the same sentence is that Winchester is very clearly inside Southampton's catchment area - that's all.

And you appear to be confusing Southampton with Eastleigh. I mean yes there are shit bits of Southampton (Lordshill, Millbrook etc) but there are with every town and I had a girlfriend from West End. It was proper nice there I can tell you. That said, I won't argue that Southampton itself is a bit dull.

I've never really understood your hatred for the football club though. I mean you're in Fareham - half way between Southampton and Portsmouth - and yet somehow you dislike Southampton more than Portsmouth, so there's clearly something wrong with you.


Yes, yes it is. Winchester is one of the lovliest cities in the country. I loved my time there.

Fun fact: my sixth form in Winchester (the same one as @Hiney's and @hans kraay fan club's kids went to) is the official sixth form for kids in the Falkland Islands. It amused my dad and step-mum that when they went to the Falklands, the local paper (if you could call it that, as it was about 10 pages long) had an article on the sixth form!

I live absolutely half way between Winchester and Southampton - our local pub, 400 yards away, The Halfway Inn, is literally that - the old coaching stop on the Southampton to Winchester road.

We go to Winchester at least once a week - most Sunday mornings for a stroll and a coffee, and once a month or so for nights out. I honestly cannot remember the last time anyone in our family of four went into Southampton by choice (other than some of my away cricket fixtures).

It was actually 4718 .
But keep your new obsession with Crawley coming ...f***ing comical you melt.

There is a good reason there are cycle stands under the stands at Crawley.

 

[Cheggers]

Go on Wrexham

Not so much out of a frying pan and into a fire as out of a septic tank and into a shitheap.

Very curious to see who they get in as manager, seeing as most of their previous appointments have been a disaster.

Homecoming for GSouth?

My great grandparents lived in Newhaven plus my grandmother until she married a bloke from Lewes. Great granddad was a crane driver in the port working for the railway.

I live near @BN9 BHA in a lovely area, facing the Downs, but not far from the sea, with great access to Brighton & Eastbourne.

Yes, this 'shithole' thing is quite irksome when you see it banded around among mature adults. Most places have some sort of merit because most places have good folk in them.

I feel a bit sorry for Newhaven because when I visited one Saturday afternoon to take a look it seemed like everyone had left for Brighton or Eastbourne, the buses were rammed. I walked around the central area and saw no more than a few folk in the bookies. I wonder if that was something to do with the town centre area, small as it is, being neglected and a ring road being built around it. It's a place that I really believe could thrive but for some reason seems to have been written off a little by the bods who caused the issue in the first place..

It's got some nice residential areas around it. Westdene in Brighton would be the comparison there.

I think it should be noted that he has left League One Crawley Town to join League Two MK Dons.

I think it should be noted that he has left League One Crawley Town to join League Two MK Dons.

But it isn't all that uncommon (outside the Premier League, where the money now dwarfs the rest of the pyramid) for bigger clubs in the doldrums to poach managers from smaller but higher performing clubs. A recent high profile example might be where Paul Warne went to League One Derby from Championship Rotherham.

In this case, MK might have no fans but they do have a stadium that is better than a fair few Premier League grounds and probably a decent training facility, whereas Crawley really is a league two set-up (and until recently you'd have to say a non-league set-up). The potential is there, even if most sane people would rather MK went bust.

I want to see that Crawley scum take the drop this season. And it's shaping up quite nicely.

Yes Crawley may be League 1 but their infrastructure is somewhere between League 2 and non league. Which is why Premier League clubs having beef with them is a bit tragic

Couldn't have given two hoots about Crawley prior to August 27th.

But after one of their thugs smashed a brand new signing of ours literally SIX MINUTES into his debut, I'll be delighted if they now suffer two successive relegations.

The relationship is more geographic, like the Shires and Mordor being in middle earth.

 

[Cheggers]

Go on Bolton!

 

[essbee1]

Into the lovely relegation spots you go, you bunch of ****ing thugs.

And of course you’re privy to this information?
