The unofficial "No-one cares about Crawley Town" thread

First topic message reminder :

Hi.

The Crawley Town thread, for all things loosely and tediously linked to Crawley Town FC.

Crawley 2-0 up!!!!!!!

#ProjectPromotion is on again!!

[Marky]

I doubt we'll make the Top 6 as it's reliant on at least 4 other teams slipping up before the end of the season.

But to still be mathematically in the playoff hunt with only 3 games to go shows what a great season it's been

Most points we can finish on is 73 and with very poor GD, we'd need all the sides above us (up to and including Swindon) to only finish on 72 points. Who knows. Football is a funny old game.

[Marky]

Having said that;

Swindon	P43	GD+29	68 points
Walsall	P44	GD+9	67 points
Orient	P44	+6	67 points
Tranmere	P44	+11	66 points
MK Dons	P43	+14	64 points
Crawley	P43	+1	64 points

Assuming we win our last three games (anything less and we wont make it), Tranmere wouldn't be a problem, we'd need MK Dons/Walsall/Orient to draw/lose only 1 of their remaining games, but Swindon to only gain a maximum of 4 points from their last 3 games to finish above them. That is probably where we miss out.

[NickisBHAFC]

Just keep on winning and then you never know!

One thing is for sure Barker has done well heck of a job, given that he didn't even have a pre season to get his squad sorted etc and having to have financial cuts during the season. You need to get Josh Simpson and Matt Sparrow signed up for next season though!

[Marky]

You say that, but Sparrow hasn't been missed at all since getting injured. In fact, with Sergio Torres and Dannie Bulman replacing Simpson and Sparrow at CM we've taken 7 points from 9 and not conceded a goal.

I went to the game up your end and the crowd were terrible as were your stewards. Most unhelpful bar stewards i have ever come across. Not planning on going back there. However we are going up and you are staying down so need to worry about that.

[cherriesfna]

lol if its any consolation we alreaedy have a play-off place secured
lol

i like you, i really like you

[Marky]

That Crawley v Brentford game was deflated by our first minute sending off no doubt. But the stewards are equally inept for home and away fans, so not much I can say about that!

However, based on Cherries being his usual self, and Tommy being Nick, Doncaster and Sheff Utd for Automatic Promotion please. See you both when your bubble has burst

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

He's Nick. Tommy is Nick because, well I dunno why. Nick's had a bit of a #headsgone

[GSC]

#headwasneverthere

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Well anyways Nick's been banned till next week lol

[GSC]

#toobusygivinghead

[cherriesfna]

Why he banned?

[GSC]

I don't know, but I'd be confident in producing quite a few answers

[Marky]

Yeah. Let that sit in your mind for a moment. Done? Great.

[cherriesfna]

Might have to welcome you to the rich team club

[NickisBHAFC]

Mate just text me asking if i want to go to the Crawley vs Preston game tonight. Debating whether or not to go. Going to the pub to watch the Barca game looks more favorable, however haven't been to the broadfield this season and the weather is superb!

[Marky]

Was a good game by all accounts. Didn't make it as on holiday, but back for the game tomorrow.

[Blade]

I'm going to the Blades v Preston game tomorrow with my son and Dad should be a good game as my son has not seen them lose yet.

Lucky charm may be lol?

[NickisBHAFC]

Was a good game by all accounts. Didn't make it as on holiday, but back for the game tomorrow.

Hope your Holiday was good mate

Mid table Crawley vs Already Relegated in-front of an epic crowd of 3000ish has the potential to be the perfect match

[Marky]

Just an end of season party atmosphere. Win and we make 70 points, considering staying up was our aim, 70 points and a top 10 finish would be phenominal for us.

Only holidayed at Butlins Bognor, but my daughter enjoyed it and it was relaxing to an extent, so definitely worthwhile.

[Blade]

Nice one Marky glad you had a great time, Where going to Great Yarmouth in July for a few days to say hello to some of our friends down there, Man I miss living there.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Blade you miss living in Yarmouth?

You high?

[Blade]

Lol Its better than Mansfield fella any day of the week.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Well I'm never going to Mansfield then!

[Guest]

Blade you miss living in Yarmouth?

You high?

Went there with my ex a few years ago and won enough tokens on the pier bingo to get myself a blender.

You'll not hear a bad word about Yarmouth from me.

[Blade]

I lived in Caister which was about 5 miles away and it was awesome there, 2mins from the beach 5 mins away from the town center you can't beat it.

reason for coming back was my wife missed her family so it was time to come back.

[Marky]

Crawley Town finish the season 10th in League One. Phenominal achievement considering 4 seasons ago we finished barely outside the Conference relegation places after needing a last day draw to confirm staying up.

Fair play to Hartlepool fans. 4100 attendance, of which 417 were away fans, of which 138 were dressed as penguins. Good to see nearly 3700 home fans in the ground, further proof of our expanding fanbase

[Gregers]

Fantastic for you Marky, Sussex clubs have done amazingly well this season

[NickisBHAFC]

Yeah fantastic for Crawley town. Sussex football really is on the up which is good to see. Hopefully Crawley can make some decent summer signings and have a real go next season.

Sussex football. One Community.

Bad news for josh simpson, if i were him id move to a big club

[NickisBHAFC]

Matt Sparrow left. Sounds like Crawley didn't offer enough money, or Matt may fancy his chances at a Championship club before he moves abroad to see out his carrer as he has stated in the past.

Fantastic news for Crawley that Josh Simpson has signed on. Been a very key player this term. This could also help attract other players.

Was 100% down to money. Not sure whether we offered too little or he wanted too much, but terms couldn't be agreed so he's gone. Josh was the big one, even when Akpan left Simpson was the more important cog.

And Cherries, we've won more promotions than you in the last 3 years so blow me

Fantastic news for Crawley.

[Blade]

Yeah seen that Nick there were rumors that we were after him but guess that's out of the window now lol.

[NickisBHAFC]

Yeah i thought Barker would of been a great pick for United, local lad and has
proven he can work well in this division well as seen with Bury and Crawley.

Any names for the United job now?

[Blade]

Yeah Morgan southgate and one more which i forgot lol

[Marky]

Barker is a Sheff Weds fan anyway

To be honest Barker wouldn't have been a good choice for Sheff Utd, needs to establish himself at Crawley first. Left Bury before finishing his job, they ended up getting relegated. Wouldn't look good if he went from job to job.

Plus, contracts aren't worth a jot these days. 2 year deal means nothing if we're bottom of League 1 at Christmas.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Crawley set to sign Andy Drury from Ipswich

[NickisBHAFC]

Another player to come through Lewes FC! 

Russel Martin, Leon Legge and AFC Wimbledon bound David Wheeler all to come through Lewes!!!

[Marky]

You say AFC Wimbledon bound like that makes him good

[Marky]

And very happy about Andy Drury, we had him on loan first half of last season from Ipswich, was badly missed rest of the season. Us being a league up helps, but glad Mick McCarthy didn't rate him.

[NickisBHAFC]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22985703

I swear this player was suppose to be joining you?

The luxury of playing under Steve Evans must of tempted him from moving to Crawley
