I remember when they used to outclass us most games. Especially the game at Withdean when Dean Ashton ripped us a new one
And me (1980-81).
Grrrrr! Watch it, you. Or else. Yeah! Yeah! Uwantsomeorwot?
I always pick a side for any match but I'm struggling a little with this one.
On the one hand Crawley knocked out the Dongs which engenders much goodwill.
On the other hand Crewe's goalie launching his direct opponents water bottle that had a penalty crib sheet on it into the crowd was successful shithousery of the highest level.

And up at their place.

I can never get excited about Crawley FC. I grew up on the doorstep of and yet feel more affinity to Carlisle than I do that suburb of Croydon. Sorry Creepy, but another Crewe fan here. In fact I’ve been to the Railway Men’s more than I have Crawley so yep, best of luck Crewe!

Crawley a suburb of Croydon? You’re nuts.
I’m sorry to see the hostility towards another Sussex club. A no-brainer for me. It would be great for the county to have them promoted and playing the likes of Birmingham, Huddersfield, Peterborough etc.
I used to occasionally see Crewe when I lived in Manchester but went off them and St Dario a bit after the sexual abuse scandal.

Come on Crewe. There's only one team in Sussex.
If we weren’t playing that day, I’d probably be going with my mate who has supported them all his life (but also watches Spurs and did both games Saturday!).
I went quite a lot with him in the naughties, including two away games, so have been called an honorary Crawley fan, though I haven’t been since they got into the league.

Playoff games are massive for the clubs involved. Have memories faded so quickly? Remember that Crawley were favourites for relegation to the National League at the start of the season. They were a basket case. A few months later, they seem to be playing great football and have a date at Wembley. The lads done great and deserve a bit of love from their swanky cousins down the road.

Not only does it mean missing the Crawley game but Seagull Travel have cancelled my normal pick-up as the local coach companies have been booked by Crawley Town for the trip to Wembley.

I've not kept my eye much on league two this season. I thought they were struggling down the bottom of the league. Was that last season instead? Or have they gone on a rampage up the league?

The difference being no way would Crewe’s fans have tolerated noncery had they known. Yems wore his racism as a badge of honour.
The whole football world loved Gradi. This thread has aged like milk.
Dario Gradi to retire
Gradi is set to retire after the Forest game after serving 24 years at Crewe.Personally i think he done a fantastic job and a man who stayed loyal:clap:

Think in part an age-thing. When we were in the pre-Falmer doldrums of L1 then flirted with relegation, meeting Crawley began to become a real possibility in the league when 5 years before we had 4 divisions between?
That linked with various gobshites who you would encounter in school/college - who would support anyone but Brighton (to include Crawley as their 2nd team behind your usual London clubs etc).
Whilst within the borders of Sussex, it is a town that looks north and no affinity to the rest of the county.
They have undoubtedly done very well this season though.
I don’t remember Yems being obviously racist and the Crawley fans turned as soon as he was suspended and the players spoke out. They were as apalled as the rest of the football world.
I really think this is not an area where differentiators can or should be made.
