Even though by May Crawley Town wont be Non-League...

...I still feel obliged to post the first topic in Non-League and exclusively reveal that Crawley Town Football Club are top of the league, with three games in hand, and if that doesn't excite you then I don't know what will!

I have just soiled myself with excitement. Can you put some sort of warning on your future posts if they are going to contain dangerous levels of excitement?

Marky,

Consider this your first warning.

Please refrain from making Enforcer soil himself on these boards.

Thanks,

I'd like to say that come August you may be visiting sunny Macclesfield, but the way Macc played last night I fear we may be swapping divisions in the summer.

Hero, I look forward to Macclesfield v Crawley Town in League 2, with an attendance of 600 odd with 54 away fans... 8)

Is that how many you normally bring?
Jeez it will be dead then, our gate numbers are often 50/50 with away fans.

Average gates in League 2 this year so far:

1 Bradford City 10,780
2 Oxford United 7,250
3 Port Vale 6,452
4 Chesterfield 6,324
5 Shrewsbury Town 5,745
6 Bury 5,441
7 Southend United 5,195
8 Gillingham 5,029
9 Northampton Town 4,399
Average: 4,220
10 Wycombe Wanderers 4,207
11 Crewe Alexandra 4,078
12 Stockport County 3,994
13 Rotherham United 3,580
14 Lincoln City 3,432
15 Stevenage 3,130
16 Cheltenham Town 3,054
17 Burton 3,017
18 Aldershot Town 2,772
19 Torquay United 2,578
20 Hereford United 2,446
21 Morecambe 2,428
22 Macclesfield Town 2,198
23 Barnet 1,959
24 Accrington Stanley 1,796

I imagine that in League 2 we'll average 2000+ home fans plus whatever away teams bring, gates this and last season bumped up by sides like Luton and Wimbledon bringing hundreds along.

Our away support is terrible though, apart from the odd big game.

I've been at Gateshead v Crawley Town as one of 14 away fans, that was only last season!

We took 78 to Grimsby last Saturday, earlier this season we took 600+ to Wimbledon and this Saturday for Torquay in the Cup we're taking our full allocation of 1123!

Im surprised Bury are so high in that list. I also know that if we play you next season Sergio Torres will cause us havoc as he always has done!!

Eight points clear from the hatters with 13 games left, thats a long way to go. There is always the play offs? Cue the opposition teams aren't trying hard enough comments.

The ball is certainly in Crawley's hands, its theirs to win or lose. Hopefully, even we don't top the league, we can put togther a decent run in.

Do you want to swap chairmans? Our's used to be on 'Anne and Nick'.

It's 11 points clear of Luton, and a win over AFC Wimbledon tonight makes us 9 clear of Wimbledon with 4 games in hand, and 14 clear of Luton who would have 1 game in hand on us. Even a draw and Wimbledon are too far behind barring a major collapse. Wimbledon have to win tonight to stand a chance of the league.

The problem with the Playoffs is that it's such a lottery sometimes, but whether or not you're a fan of the Playoffs depends where your team is, if you're 2nd you're against the Playoffs, if you're 5th you're for them

I reckon it'll be Luton v York again, and AFC Wimbledon v Wrexham.
