Morning All

Tomorrow evening we are at home to Brentford U21;s in the EFL Trophy – our last game in the League section of this competition – the game kick off at 7.30pm. If the scores are level at 90 minutes then there is a penalty shoot-out for the extra point – if  and its a big if we don’t lose we will progresss to the knockout stage and will have an away match as we will finish runner up.

Thanks to everyone who travelled to Wimborne on Sunday for that debarcle – we had good trips there and back, its a pity the team didn’t show up for the whole 90 minutes. What Kevin Blackwell said in his post match interview was pretty daming to the club at all levels – where do we go from here – is anyones guess. In all my years of watching Crawley play that has to be one of the worst ever performances I have ever seen – but well done to Wimborne they deserved their victory and I really hope that they get a good draw in the next round.

After tomorrow nights game we have a basically a two week break before we entertain Fleeetwood Town at home – its going to be interesting as to what happens over the interveening time – what statements are we going to get from the Owners as we all deserve some explanation as to what is happening.

We have another games schedule for SKY TV coverage – it’s another game against Cheltenham Town – the fourth time in the last two seasons we have had this game shown – it’s on 20^th February 2027, the kick off time has been brought forward to 12.30pm – full details will be published nearer the time.

ROTHERHAM UNITED – MATCH POSTPONED

This match has now been postponed due to International Call ups – any booking made have been cancelled and you will need to book again once the fixture has been rearranged – this is most likely to be on Tuesday evening.

Our next away match is now the televised game at Exeter City – we hope to be running a supporters coach to this game so please book your seats if you want to travel to the game – details below

EXETER CITY – SATURDAY 28^th NOVEMBER 2026 – 12.30pm k/o

We depart the stadium at 7.00am for the trip to Exeter cost £40.00 – we will have a comfort/coffee break at the Solstice Services at Amesbury. We hope to arrive at 11.30am for this early kick off match which is Live on SKY SPORTS.  We will depart straight after the match and will have a break on the way home at some point. We have to confirm this coach by Sunday 22^th November.

YORK CITY – SATURDAY 19^th DECEMBER 2026 – 3.00pm k/o.

We know this game is a long way off at the moment but we want to gauge numbers that may travel as we think as it’s a new ground for most of us and it could be a good away following. It will also enable us to let United know so that if we need additional coaches we can get them booked being so close to Christmas. We don’t need any payment yet. We will depart the stadium at 7.00am and cost £50.00.  We have a buffet stop at the Leeds Arms, South Anston where we should have stopped for the game at Rotherham. Please contact us if you are interested and we will put you on the list.
