Yeah, I was at that game and funnily enough a bloke I was at school with was playing for Crawley that day. Big hype but it was all a bit of a damp squib on and off the pitch from what I remember.

Churchill Square?

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Horley, Redhill or East Grinstead?

Can,t say that i ever saw Crawley play at East Court although pretty sure that i saw Three Bridges play there might have even had in/out Sussex CCC medium pacer John Denman (?) playing for them.

I believe it's AFC Wimbledon. Mainly because they were both going up through the divisions around the same time.

Crawley are stuck dead between Palace and Brighton fans catchment areas, so perhaps the club's supporters consider themselves within that equation? It is the 'M23 derby' after all.

But I'd imagine the majority of people in Crawley just support Chelsea, Tottenham or Arsenal anyway. So the answer would probably be 'whoevers closest that we can play against', now AFC Wimbledon are in league one they might turn their attention to LO or Pompey

 

[Del Fenner]

It's Palace, I remember their Chairman (or spokesperson) saying so.

I'd forgotten this.

Obviously they haven't.

As a Palace fan, do you feel the same way as us about them?

It's a very close rivalry, just the one game in it after all these years.

Not quite sure why you'd ask to be honest.

Been to crawley v pompey and can report no rivalry! As a non league side Crawley turned out for Northampton in the fa cup!

AFC Wimbledon?

 

[atfc village]

Could be Aldershot after the great burger king battle?

 

[Mellotron]

Who are Crawley?

 

[synavm]

AFC Wimbledon I believe. Not entirely sure what that's born out of, probably the fact they both gained promotion from the Conference together, but they're the only team I've heard of that have any sort of rivalry with Crawley. Maybe Orient too, but it'd be a stretch to call them rivals.

I'm an Albion fan from Crawley have been since my first game at the age of 5.
Can't stand Crawley and I'll be honest I don't know any Crawley fans either.
I did go to a Crawley v Aldershot game and they don't particularly like each other and there were lots of police keeping them apart.
Maybe it's them

Handcross?

You should support your local team then and not a big club!

Just joking. However I will say that IF things had worked out just slightly differently, i.e. if Crawley's rise up the leagues had coincided with our in stint in Gillingham (or even us losing at Hereford), then their rivals could have been us and Sussex's league support could have been irrevocably split between two clubs.

I know that's one of those hypothetical "what if?" statements, that no one can prove or deny, but it's worth bearing in mind and makes our current position all the better.

Really,your from Crawley and don't know any Crawley fans??I take it you don't get out much then.

Got to ask,why can't you stand your hometown club?Seems strange to me.
As for the support for Brighton in the town I'd say your well down the pecking order after most of the London clubs.I know a few Brighton fans,one of whom is pretty keen to be fair, but in general they are few and far between,could all change mind when your playing in the premier league next season but very much doubt it.

For the record the non-league rivalry was always Dover.We had bits and pieces with Aldershot and Afc Wimbledon but as I say it was Dover back in the DML days.
As a side note.
The general feeling with the people I know in the town towards Brighton is ok.Put it this way last nights conversation in the pub was about you going top and pretty much everyone hoping you don't blow it again.
