I presume you actually live in Crawley. if so you have my deepest sympathies and if you were in the Champions League and we were in the BSP then i'd still be very content as i know that i don't live in Crawley but you do. Also stop saying ANOTHER FAIL! What are you? A pissing driving instructor!? We don't care what you post because you won't exist as a league club 5 years from now. We could get one man and a dog at Plainmoor in five years time but we'd still have one more fan than you because you won't exist. The dog would know more about sustainable football administration than the clowns taking your club bankrupt and he's only a poodle! It's crazy you know because dogs are clever enough to realize that if they sit down and shut up they'll get rewarded. Crawley fans aren't as clever as our canid friends and are happy to stand an vocalize til the cows come home and when the cows eventually DO make it wearily across the slurried fields of West Sussex and into their cowshed (Broadfield Stadium), then there they will stay - all courtesy of Crawley Town being run like a knackered old Fiat Panda in the Monaco GP thus falling to pieces, folding and the lovely old ground that once was the home of the mighty CTFC being regenerated as a cattle farm.
Meanwhile little old Torquay will most probably still be in league 2 playing sh*t like Accrington. Happy days.

Hardly in a position to gloat are you. The last season we were in the Conference (before the money started to roll in) when you finished just outside the Play offs you averaged 1233, the season before that 1042.

Sorry mate, you are clearly a deluded fool. Every football fan outside Crawley hates your team, mainly because it revelled in being managed by a convicted criminal for so long. Now you are hated because you have become a bunch of arrogant, deluded tossers. We will all laugh when your team goes bust mate, I will buy a bottle of champagne. Now sod off and go play with your aeroplanes.

FAIL

NickGull wrote: The point being your average attendance is just 342 higher than our own, when we took 348 more than you brought to us. Imagining it was a similar sort of thing for sides like Plymouth, Brizzle, Gillingham, Wimbledon etc, your average is alot higher than it would be if you were in our location.

As for that one, season before last we were never at the top. We were at the foot of the playoffs, there's a difference there.

AlexGulls wrote:Not including the fact we had three stands for all of last season (of which does come into it as plenty didnt want to go in the Pop/Family Stand) and the fact it was Crawleys first season in the FL and they were near the top ALL season which kind of makes just over 3,000 embarrasing and shows how small they are. If we were in there position all season with four stands we would get 3,500 most weeks IMO.

NickGull wrote: Difficult though, as said. That is basically our average home fans, minus 200 or so. Yours is inflated by teams bringing more fans. We took 550 to you, you brought 1/5 of that so it's nonsense to gauge it like that.

chippygull wrote:What's with Driscoll saying he did OK at UNFASHIONABLE Torquay, (BBC text News in Brief)?? Your bloody club so fashionable you get more fans than us? No!!

HRG wrote:Speculating about who we could get in the fifth round (had we won) does not make us arrogant, every fan of every small club is allowed to dream, you know. It's not as if it was an unwinnable game, or at least it wouldn't have been with a little more decency from the opposition and, more importantly, a lot of effort from our own team. We weren't good enough on the day. It's crap but the club has to kick itself up the arse, dust itself down and get on with it.
The decent Crawley fans, who have probably supported the club for years dislike their management and have been reasonably graceful about their win, albeit a little defensive on the cheating issue. Who wouldn't defend their club? However this guy appears to be a different breed, probably only supporting the club because of the money they've come into so I wouldn't take anything he says seriously, he's in the same ilk as Evans, arrogant and looking for a reaction.
Anyway that's me done with SLC, best not to encourage him. It's a bit like dealing with my five year old, ignore the bad and reward the good. So if he has anything constructive to add then great but otherwise a wall of silence is best.
Can't wait to go through all this again next season

From what I can tell from looking at various football forums, this is going to be the only Man U -v- minnows match where the vast majority of people want the minnows to get their arse handed to them. Great reputation for sportsmanship your team has cultivated. You must be proud.

NickGull wrote:Okay, maybe I was a bit OTT with that bit. They maybe have 3 games in hand, but that'll put them only 8 points ahead. A fair distance, but thats surely what should be expected of a side that's spent that sort of money. Just like Notts County last season.

I'm not for one minute suggesting that it's going to be an easy game, far from it. They've obviously got something about them, hence why they're 2nd and they've progressed this far!
