All 4 of them seem excited

Why would Palace fans come down with Crawley? Palace fans live in Surrey, Crawley's full of Chelsea, always has been.

Loads of Palace in and around Crawley, Horley, Redhill.
I reckon Crawley will bring at least 3k. Agree with the above posts that the club need to price this one properly = less than Villareal.

There were a few there in the 80s 90s notably (and this is where I go all DR) the Corelli (sp?) brothers, they used to like “getting involved” back in the day.

Another northern shithole place bigging it up

Will you be showing us around the Brighton of the 80s like never before?

I'll be honest, f**k Crawley. Give them the smallest allocation possible, I hope they make the least amount of money out of this game.

 

[dwayne]

What's the Tuesday / Wednesday split of games? 50/50 ?

I guess as we are playing arse early Saturday we would prefer Tuesday

 

[Durlston]

I was working out the exact half way mark between the two Sussex sides.

Somewhere around Wivelsfield so a massive ruck at the Watermill pub? (only joking!).

What are you particularly annoyed about? The fact that they host our women’s team?

 

[Durlston]

I don't think there is any VAR in the League Cup until the final so that's a bonus.

The fact that they wouldn't let us play there back in Gillingham days, and some of their fans have a weird chip on their shoulders about us, considering how much we pay them for the use of their facilities.

I thought they were okay with that but it was Scally, the Gillingham chairman who scuppered that as we had already signed an agreement? Or was it that he stopped a quicker return to Brighton at Withdean?

Absolutely with you on this. Although as I recall it was the council that rejected the idea of us playing there not the club itself that would have welcomed the extra revenue.

Didn't crawley fc tell us to f*** off when we asked to ground share before the Gillingham days?

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Watched Crawley’s matches on Sky Sports+ this season. Scott Lindsey has Crawley playing similar way we are used to the Albion playing ie passing out from the back etc. Looked good going forward while open in defence. It’ll be entertaining and won’t be 0-0 after 90 mins for sure.

Wasn’t it the council and not Crawley?

Pretty sure it wasn’t the club who stopped it but the council

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

I think it's telling that nobody seems to have a clear idea of either a) whether we're supposed to actively dislike Crawley, or b) if we are, why we're supposed to dislike them.

It's like playing a football match against a particularly uninteresting shade of magnolia painted in the front room of a person who's name you forgot within seconds of meeting them.

I seem to remember the club and fans not being particularly upset about the
council's decision, if that is the case.

Seems as though the majority of games are played on the Tuesday going by the last few seasons. Highly likely we will want the game on Tuesday.
