Crawley v Derby - another Cup upset?

[The Sock of Poskett]

I know few people have a soft spot for Crawley as they seem closer to Sarf London and Palace than anything, but they ARE still a SUSSEX club and have a tasty chance of an upset with Derby visiting on Monday ...

Savage says the Rams are on "a hiding to nothing":

Anyone thinking of going? And what chance a Crawley win for the TV cameras (again)?

 

[Flavor Flav]

Not certain on whether to go or not. If not its on ESPN so I'll catch it on there.

 

[Neil]

I might watch just to see that pratt Evans sent to the stands

 

[Return of the Rev]

any tickets left?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I might go if I can get tickets tomorrow eve.

 

[philsussex]

Just signed up to two free months on ESPN so will probably watch it on there.

But now you've got me thinking about going to the Broadfield to watch it. Be good to see another Sussex club doing well.

 

[Silkster365]

I'll be there

Not going but would love to see my home town club progess, especially as the only other time I can remember them playing league opposition the draw was most unfortunate

I went to the game before "that" game, when they stuffed Northampton Town. Took a mate along who was a Kettering Town fan, and it absolutely made his day.

ESPN for me too. Ronnie - are you and Mrs Ronnie up for it?

 

[Croydonbloke]

What is wrong with Crawley? Non league side under dogs and all that. I would rather Crawley win than Palace tomorrow so we can sort our league campaign out!!!

It may be completely irrational but I don't like Crawley. Never have. I think because of its 'new town' status I've always seen it as a bit of a cuckoo in the Sussex nest. Plus in the 1970s I remember it as being a real hotbed of Chelsea support - and not nice, cuddly, family-oriented Chelsea support either. Even when we were doing well there was a feeling of 'enemy territory' about the place.

Now that they're only one promotion away from the League I do have fears that they may steal some of our mid/north Sussex support; or even further south if people don't like the 'modern' experience of the Amex and want a pie on a terrace.
