I've only just notice the big non-league derby game is on tonight. Hopefully Eastbourne will win this, as Crawley really don't need the points.

Borough expect their largest gate of the season, which I'm guessing is presumably going to be, what, 3,000?

That would be a pretty good crowd for a non-league game, certainly. There's many a weekend League 2 fixture that doesn't get that many.

Was there on Saturday. Turgid (but then we are spoilt these days)! EB are dead men walking I'm afraid.

Reckon it wont be an amazing crowd as EB are dreadful at present (only die hards go),were at home on Saturday and its a school night(the crowd on Saturday included lots of kids).

Dont forget there were less than 1,900 at the corresponding fixture on 1st Jan!!!

I guess Crawley will bring say 650, which with say 1,350 EB means 2, 000 for me.

Mixed feelings about this one, On one hand I really want EB to survive as a good friend of mine plays for them (Jamie Taylor), I think Crawley have enough in the bag to allow Borough 3 points tonight, it would be a shame if they did get relegated and Crawley went up as there wont be a Sussex representitive in the league....and I fear that if they do go down, they will go down and down like lewes, on the other hand I want Crawley to keep winning to ensure that they get the league ASAP.........
A lot fo Crawley fans are going tonight, I think you could end up with about 800 there so there will be 2390

Will Crawley actually take that many? Their away support (FA Cup tourists not included) is generally rather poor.

Granted, but then week day trips to Wrexham, Bath, Fleetwood etc are not that inspirering and they have still taken around 80 odd to these games!!!!

The argus are reporting that there are more Crawley in the ground than Eastbourne, the awya is full and there are crawley fans on the other sides as well. Only been fuller for Wimbledon......
