Providing the official Red Devil supporters transport to away games - We are back now taking bookings for coaches for this season which is going to be exciting - come and support your team on the road.
I was in two minds about travelling by coach. As I said to Pat on Saturday I thought it might be a closed shop/bit of a clique. Well I got that totally wrong. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming - and from one of our pubs we visit - Hello Alain. I hope that you have recovered after Saturdays result, disappointing but I suspect that some of your group didn’t know the result due to the amount of shots that were consumed just prior to jumping on the coach. As always it was an absolute pleasure to play host to you all, a more polite and social group would be hard to find anywhere. Please pass our thanks and regards to all members of the group as we enjoyed the day, one of the best we have had in eighteen years! Regards Andy & Donna Cross Keys and another from Supporter Neil Webster - Hi Alain Tony Bish and I really enjoyed yesterday and as you say, you have us hooked now!Status of away travel

As expected Jay Williams has now left the club and joined Scott Lindsey at MK Dons for an undisclosed fee – its been no secret that Jay has not been selected since the Wycombe Wanderers away game – due to some unsavoury behaviour and comments made the management team and owners – plus a couple of incidents at the training ground involving him and a couple of players – hence he was suspended from the club until his departure. We will never get told the full story but this sort of behaviour can’t be tolerated no matter who you are. With this departure we need now to see some new acquisitions coming into the squad with some league one experience if we are going to turn the season around and make sure we are well away from the relegation zone come May.
Our away matches coming up in the next few weeks are again some of the longer trips – which we need to take some point from – all difficult fixtures as you can see. WE are taking bookings for all these games and hopefully we will have good numbers on these coaches. We have seats available on all matches so please continue to book on.
STOCKPORT COUNTY – Saturday 25th January 2025 – 3.00pm kick off.
The coach departs from the stadium at 7.00am and costs £40.00 which includes a buffet stop at the Fox and Hound – Spronston Green we will have a comfort/coffee stop at the M6 Toll Services on the way to break the journey to the pub. It’s about 3 hours to the Services. Then an hour to the pub, then about 30 minutes to Stockport. The coach will park near the away turnstiles about a 2 minute walk. We will depart straight after the game and will have a break on the way home depending where we do the driver change over. We hope to arrive back in Crawley for about 10.00pm
MANSFIELD – Tuesday 28th January 2025 – 7.45pm kick off
This trip depends on numbers travelling – we would depart from the stadium at 2.00pm – and cost is £40.00 it will be a non-pub stop but we will have a break at a motorway services on the way. WE need at least 30 to run the coach – we may run in the minibus if numbers are low.
Then into February – away matches at Bolton Wanderers and Blackpool – both will be there and back on the day – no overnight trips. Both games will cost £40.00 each and will depart from the stadium at 7.00am and both will have buffet stops on route. We will start taking bookings for these two matches now as we think they will be popular with supporters who haven’t been to these grounds previously – we don’t need payment yet only bookings to reserve your seats.
For most of these northern matches it’s likely that only one coach will travel unless we can fill a second due to the costs involved – just a note about our next four Saturday matches at Barnsley, Stockport, Bolton and Blackpool – we don’t actually cover the costs even with a full 53 seater coach. We didn’t want to put the maximum £40.00 fare up we charge for these northern trips and expected to make losses which is covered by other profit making trips we have had and the monies carried over from last season. As we have always said provided we break even at the end of the season we have done our job.
Please contact either Alain or Patrick to book your seat – Alain 07771-792346 or Email Alain_harper@icloud.com, Patrick via Twitter(X) or Facebook –
Payment for coach travel can be done via either bank transfer- (but please send a screenshot oy payment when made) or cash in Redz before any home game – all fares but must be paid in full before travel. We will confirm all booking so that you know that you are on the coach.
Just as a reminder and to let new travellers be aware – we do depart from the stadium at the stated time – we do not wait for late arrivals unless we either receive a text or phone call saying that you are on your way – we will only wait for 5 minutes – would suggest that you be at the stadium at least 15 minutes before we leave. You can park your car at the stadium if you want.
Alain
