Remember the 5-0 really well - it was all about 'Tiger' Towner's return to the Goldstone. Mad it was 32 years ago!

When I've found myself on Three Bridges Station platform on a Saturday heading to wherever Brighton are playing I've seen loads of fans of London Clubs getting on. In no way just Chelsea, plenty of Palace, Spurs and Arsenal (depending on who is playing on that particular day), Crawley is a real melting pot.
Though I often use Three Bridges as a switch point between Southern and Thameslink trains and I’m not Crawley.

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.
I live in Redhill and whilst I'd say Palace are prominent, there are plenty of other clubs that are more so (the big London clubs) and there is also a decent smattering of Albion fans in the area too.

Crawley is similar but if anything the big 3 (4 if you include West Ham) London clubs are more prominent and there are more Brighton than Palace there.

We don't know for sure which day it will be yet, with Flashscore still maintaining it's on the Wednesday. Which would be nice. For me.

When Nottingham Forest played Notts County a few years back, I'm pretty sure they gave Notts as many tickets as they wanted so as to fill the stadium. That is a similar dynamic to what we have here I would think.

I hope we give them 5/6,000 and get a gate of around 20,000. For the second round of the League Cup, that would stand out as a very big crowd.

I assume Crawley have the entire South stand as I see on their website hey have 3180 tickets is that the entire south capacity? With prices going up on the day Im assuming the club are not expecting anywhere near sell out?
