Crawley as a town has no connection to Palace,it has some Palace fans but they are a minority in this town and are hardly noticed.
It really is wrong to think that Crawley is Palace territory because it never has been and never will be.
Having lived in Crawley for over 4 decades i can tell you...
Its bloody obvious by the amount of times Crawley topics turn up on a Brighton message board that you all love Crawley and especially its football club,blimey, once upon a time you even wanted to play at the Broadfield stadium.

Just pointing out the rivalry the two towns have had for the last 30 years,including the one football match we have had.
