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

BENJAMINE TANIMU SIGNS FOR THE RED DEVILS ON A TWO YEAR DEAL
Afternoon All,
With no game this weekend due to Burton’s International call-ups when we should have been playing a game live on sky with a 12.30pm kick off. The squad and management will be able to relax from the pressures of playing and just look at the results from the teams who are playing – that’s not many in our league.
I was browsing around the social media, as one does, and came across a new Crawley Town Podcast which I have never encountered before – “REDS IN EXCILE” (@redsinexile on twitter(X)) – I listened to it and found it extremely well put together and getting another group of fans views about our club – As it says in the title it’s about exiled Crawley supporters, so theoretically if you live outside the RH10/RH11 area you are an exile – that said I think it’s more to do with those supporters who live a bit further afield – overseas generally but Dave (in Columbia) and Alex (Yorkshire) have recorded this, so give it a listen and pass on your comments. They have recorded 4 podcasts at the moment and the next one is due for broadcasting after the Stockport County game next weekend. They want to get this out there to all the Town supporters so we are trying to help them.
We saw that the club have announced that it will be not be playing in the Sussex Senior Cup this season, I think it’s a shame that we do not compete, but understand the reasoning about the size of squad and keeping the players fit and free from potential injuries for the league campaign. Supporters love cup competitions, Scott has to play as stronger teams as possible in both the FA Cup and the Bristol Street Motors competitions that we are still in.
Michael Dacosta Gonzales has returned to Bournemouth with his season long loan terminated, citing a long term injury at the reason – interestingly both Gonzalez (17) and Faal (23) are not on the list of players being offered for sponsorship this season in the new magazine, let’s move on. We have another player Nathan Jay Young-Combes who is a free agent trialling with the club at the moment, his former cubs include Palace, Chelsea, Rangers and lately Brentford which is quite impressive – but with so many footballers still out there in the market place without a club is not surprising that you get them applying for trials – let’s hope he impresses the management and gets an offer – could be another gem!!!!, for our coaching team to again improve.
We have now three players on International call ups – both keepers Wollacott and Beach, and now with the latest being our new central defender Benjamin Tanimu who was recently called up by Nigeria. Should this happen again in the next round of international matches in Mid-October then it’s likely that our home match against Shrewsbury will be postponed.
Now getting back to what we actually do – we have now issued the travel details of the away matches in October – these are listed below and we will now start taking bookings for all of these three matches – we know these games are some way off but the sooner we see if are going to need extra coaches the better so that we can get them booked with United rather than leave it to the last minute and then they have no additional vehicles available.
Finally, we have an away match in the BSM Cup at Wycombe in November – we are just asking supporters if they are interested in coach travel to this game. We know that there is so much apathy to this tournament that we may not consider running any supporters transport if numbers are low.
NEXT AWAY MATCH
WREXHAM – AWAY 21ST SEPTEMBER 2024 – 3.00PM KICK OFF.
We have 47 already on board for this game, so only 4 seats remaining on this coach – if we are going to take a second we need supporters to book on so we can see numbers before speaking to United to see if they have a second coach available – we know at the moment they have. The cut-off date for the second coach will be 15 September.
The coach departs from the Broadfield Stadium at 7.00am. We have a buffet booked at the Queens Head, Oswestry on the way where we stopped for Tranmere last season – about 30 minutes from the Wrexham stadium. Cost of this trip is £40.00 which includes the buffet. Should a second travel we will have to speak to the Pub to see if they can cope with the extra numbers. We may have a contingency plan if they are unable too. Please make payment for your seats on the coach as soon as possible – we will be in Redz at any home matches before the game.
OCTOBER AWAY MATCHES – now taking bookings for these three matches
Saturday 5th October – WYCOMBE WANDERERS – 3.00pm KICK OFF
The coach will depart from the Broadfield Stadium at 11.00am knowing that we will most likely be held upon the M25 travelling to the game – we may have a stop at the Beaconsfield services depending on traffic and we don’t want to arrive at the stadium too soon. We may also look for a local pub for drinks only, but there will be no buffet arranged for this trip just in case we really hit bad traffic. Cost of this trip is £25.00.
Saturday 19th October – READING – 12.30pm KICK OFF
The coach will depart from the Broadfield Stadium at 9.30am. Cost of this trip is again £25.00. We will travel direct to the Reading Stadium with no planned stop – on either trip.
Saturday 26th October – NORTHAMPTON TOWN – 3.00pm KICK OFF
The coach will depart from the Broadfield Stadium at 10.00am. Cost of this trip is £30.00 – We will travel direct to Northampton Stadium – there is a pub and some restaurants locally to the stadium which are situated at the top of the hill if you want to get some refreshments or you can use the Northampton supporter’s bar. The return trip will also be non-stop, straight back to the Broadfield Stadium.
For each of these fairly local games add additional coaches if there is sufficient supporter want to travel and if United have vehicles available. The cut-off date for extra coaches is a week before the matches are due to be played – however the sooner you book on the more likely that we will be able to provide these.
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.
LET’S GO AND SUPPORT SCOTT LINDSEY AND OUR VIRTUAL NEW TEAM THIS SEASON – ITS GOING TO BE A GREAT ADVENTURE INTO THE UNKNOWN. BIG CLUBS, BIG STADIA.
Alain
