Crawley - more Palace or Brighton?

[Paxton Dazo]

Something I've always wanted to know..purely out of curiousity. I know it's a huge Chelsea area, but in terms of Palace/Brighton...who's the majority?

I've seen more Palace shirts than Brighton shirts when I (i try very hard not to) have been to Crawley..

I'm from the Crawley / EG area originally and I would say it's more Palace (going by the people I went to school with in the 80s anyway)

I live in Crawley and I know more Albion than Palace

Times could be a-changing though

This is done regularly on here.

It seems more even nowadays, but not many of either in reality.

I think its 50/50
but there are so many plastic Chelski and Arsenal tw*ts.

In my area (east grinstead) there are lots of Crawley 'glory fans' so I'm guessing it is the same in Crawley

I work in Crawley and when i'm out I see more Palace shirts. Have to say I haven't seen an increase I crawley shirts scarfs etc. Certainly an increase in people talking about Crawley though.

I wear my Brighton shirt around Crawley all the time as I go to Central Sussex College and always get a few friendly Seagulls chants fired my way and no animosity.

Then again, the last chump who dissed the stripes now looks like that woman who had her face torn off by an ape.

Its the borderlands. Go north to Horley - it's palace, South to Haywards Heath its Albion. Work on a site that used to be 700, and it was 50-50. At 350 people now, its 3-2 to Palace!!

I concur. Where did you go mate? I was at Holy Trinity from '77 to '83 and it was definitely predominantly Palace.

Ive worked for my current company in Crawley for 4 years and before that a different company in Crawley for 5.

Unfortunately Crawley is definately Palace teritory. My current job has 150 employees with not 1 Albion fan and Im pretty sure my last job didnt have any too.

There have been lots of Palarse fans but in truth Spuds, Gooners and Chelsea have dominated.

I lived in Crawley 15 years ago, and it was more Palace then from memory..What's going to happen in the season after next when Crawley and Palace are both in League 2? They will all being jumping the Palace ship!

Right maybe I'm just getting old but I don't get the joke here, am I supposed to reference my cock or summink?

I live in Crawley and most people seem to be Chelsea supporters - as the shirts heading for the Train indicate every Saturday ...

Have to say I haven't seen an increase I crawley shirts scarfs etc.

That's because the club is still struggling to run itself properly and they don't have any to sell!

When I'm on the train home from Spurs home games, on the days where Chelsea have been at home, the amount of Chelsea that get off at Three Bridges is unreal. Which is good, 'cause it means I get a scum-free train for 30 minutes
