I'm pretty sure that Crawley FC said yes but the council and police said no.
Either way, it's not good when they are trying to hijack non-league day.

Not the full story though - it was the council who stopped it, not the football club, so having a go at Crawley FC is a bit pointless.
Warren has missed a good reason for taking up the £10 offer - watching Shamir Fenelon play against his home town team!

It's bad enough that I have to go to Crawley to work sometimes, I'm blowed if I'm going to that shithole for leisure too; I'd rather spend the afternoon in Gaza holding up a banner saying "Hamas Tunnel Club"

I think it was said at the time that the local council wouldn't allow it. But that is crazy being that they now play in the football league, which shows that there were no practical reasons not to let us play there. Bear in mind that Gillingham rebuilt their ground with the money we payed them, it does beg the question why would an ambitious club like Crawley have turned that money down.

You're right the council were the ones who said no, but I don't think Crawley were particularly fans of it. We'll never know excatly what the motivtaion behind it was, but personally I've always felt they thought we might go out of business up at Gillingham which would then make them the biggest club in Sussex. Could be well wide of the mark with that, but let's be honest nobody ever really needs that much of a reason to dislike another team, especially a local rival.

Really.
I see you live in Eastbourne, so would have thought a day away from the smell of boiled cabbage and piss would have been a welcome relief for you.

I bear no ill to Crawley - but the day should have been left to the non-League clubs.

Unfortunately it's me that smells bad so it'd be the same wherever I went. Luckily, in Crawley I'm lauded as bringing freshness to the town.

So do they want us to pretend that we hate them or pretend that we like them? Or just pretend that we care about them at all? You're sending us mixed signals here Creepy.
Boiled cabbage and piss is dreamland compared to the smell of being in the presence of Crawley's peasants.
Really? Each time I've been to watch us at Crawley in pre-season the broad field stinks of shit.

It wasn't that long ago that Crawley were themselves non league. I did go and watch them a few times during our Gillingham days but not sure I would now.
