[Football] Stay classy Crawley- and if Crawley Town FC were a dish?????????????

[Red Side Of Sussex]

They are not like us. They know it, and we know it. There is nothing Sussex about them, they don't belong. Crawley should be cut out of the map and relocated to Slough or Luton or Tower Hamlets or something.

Are you being racist ? Kind of sounds that you believe Asian people don't belong in Sussex but should move to areas like Slough ,Luton and Tower Hamlets ....Or can you explain why you chose to highlight these specific areas over places in the country.

It is very much part of Sussex.

In the 5th century, Saxon settlers named the area Crow's Leah—meaning a crow-infested clearing, or Crow's Wood. This name evolved over time, and the present spelling appeared by the early 14th century. By this time, nearby settlements were more established: the Saxon church at Worth, for example, dates from between 950 and 1050 AD.

Although Crawley itself is not mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, the nearby settlements of Ifield and Worth are recorded. Crawley's High Street was built on part of the route from London to the port of New Shoreham, a major port in the 12th and 13th centuries that was on the most direct route between London and Normandy, used by the king and his knights and soldiers. The first written record of Crawley dates from 1202, when King John issued a licence for a weekly market on Wednesdays. As a small market town, Crawley grew slowly in importance over the next few centuries and as the Wealden iron industry declined, Crawley became an important centre for smuggling between the Sussex coast and London. Later in the 18th century, Crawley was boosted by the construction of the turnpike road between London and Brighton.

Lost from 3-1 up with 22 mins to go.

With an OG “winner” in the 99th minute.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Enjoy League 2 you ****s

I had Bolton on my accumulator and didn't check it after the game as I saw Crawley were winning. Went and checked my account after this post and it came in. Cheers to that.

Crawley town FC seem to have outdone themselves with this one- both the sacking and the survey questions

Crawley slammed by fans for sacking much loved volunteer for 'derogatory' tweet - Fan Banter

Crawley Town have been slammed by fans for sacking a much loved volunteer for what has been described to be a ‘derogatory’ tweet. Carol Bates BEM had served the club for eight years, but it was a post on Twitter that led to the decision to end the volunteer’s tenure. The founder of Crawley Old […]

Lol do you think Brighton employs anyone who uses their social media to slag off Tony Bloom non-stop? If so please cite an example

How can you possibly find racism in that!? This is the problem with modern society - scrambling to play the race card at every opportunity which makes racism much more of a thing than it needs to be.

There is a world of difference between Tony Bloom and a bunch of crypto currency manipulators.

I feel sorry for the employees and fans of CTFC and am only surprised that it's taken this long for someone on the inside to speak out against the current owners.

That’s fine not to like the Crawley owners, but they have cut ticket prices for their fans by 20 to 30 per cent so really don’t deserve the shoe-ing they get given they’ve done the important stuff right on looking after fans amid a cost of living crisis in this country.

But my point is different to that, it’s nonsensical to say Crawley have to have someone in a volunteer role who is a public face of the club that slags off the club. RDZ was fired here for much more muted stuff.
You are arguing for double standards

My wife is Asian. You need to careful about your posts.

I never mentioned Asians or any race. If you were insulted by my Tongue-in-cheek mocking of Crawley then that’s on you, but to link that to racism

Maybe because Luton and Tower Hamlets have a high proportion of Asian extraction.

I don't need to be careful about anything thanks.
You need to be careful in future when trying to write so called tongue in cheek posts.
Why would you mention places n the UK where Crawley should be moved to that are well known Asian communities ...Explain what you mean by .."they are not like us " Oh ,be careful with your reply .

So are a lot of places.

Tower hamlets has a high crime rate. Luton was mentioned because it’s also grim, and I mentioned Slough (which was a bit harsh on slough) for the Office, David Brent connection.

As I said it was a tongue cheek post mocking Crawley.

Let me get this straight - you are saying that any employee or volunteer for a company who speaks out publicly against the actions of that company should be dismissed rather than listened to?

Does that apply to nurses/doctors/support staff who speak out - the whistle blower-the millions represented by unions.

Of course when speaking out there may well be consequences, including, dismissal, which needs to be considered. That however does not mean it is wrong to complain or rally support when sh*t happens nor that the actions taken by the company are justified.

In this instance she was a volunteer so no whistleblowing / employment laws were in scope
