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!

Afternoon All

We now have the details for the Preliminary round of the Carabao Cup match against York City – it will be played on Monday 3rd August with a 7.30pm kick off – we will endeavour to run a supporters coach to the game but it will depend on numbers travelling, we will need a minimum of 35 supporters to run the coach. The cost of travel to York is £50.00, our coach costs have increased due to fuel increases and we need to cover the cost of this trip. We will start taking bookings now. Match ticket details have yet to be confirmed.

From the timing point of view the coach will depart from the stadium at 1.00pm – we will have stops on both journeys at a motorway service station – we may if time allows have a pub stop but just for drinks on the way depending on timing and route taken either A1 or M1. The coach will return straight after the game ends which could include penalties if level at 90minutes.

The club had announced a pre-season match against Woking on the 4th August which has now been cancelled for obvious reasons. With the York City game now settled the club has indicated that the rest of the pre-season matches will be announced at some point this week.

The club have announced the signing of 38 year old Vito Mannone an experienced goalkeeper as a coach but will sign on as a player if needed. He previously played for Arsenal, Sunderland and Reading and more recently as a coach at Brighton for their academy keepers. We all give him a great welcome to Crawley and hope he has a successful time with us.

The meeting minutes of the Fan Advisory Board and the Club have now been agreed and published on the FAB website together with the Clubs website. It was a very open meeting and plenty of topics discussed with the communication with the fans top of the list. The minutes can be found here www.crawleytownfc-fab.co.uk

The club have issued an update on what is happening to the various aspects around the club – a welcomed communication for our supporters – which should answer some of the questions being asked on the social media platforms.

Former Red Devils on the move – Guion Edwards – signed for Exeter City from Morecambe. Former loanee James Balagizi has been released by Liverpool.

Thanks to everyone who has made contact to confirm their details with us for next season – over 100 supporters so far have responded – there were a couple of supporters that we needed to contact again to re-submit the form as we had a problem with a corrupted file and lost details. We are also getting new supporters sending their details for next season’s away travel which is encouraging. I should also have said that if you don’t want to get our travel updates in the future then let me know and we will remove your records.

I have again added this to the update, just to remind those who have yet to respond.  To start our preparations to the new season we will now take supporters details for the new season and get your records up to date – I have attached the new updated travel form it to this email – if your details have not changed then just reply to this email with no change to the details on record – if for some reason we have any missing records for you then we will ask you to send that detail on an email.
