After looking forward to the Croydon World Party for months now, I realised yesterday that it clashes with the Broadfield community centre fete – the highlight of Broadfield’s social calendar as any fule no. Also it clashes with Crawley Town’s friendly against Milwall – and how often do you see “Millwall” and “friendly” in the […]

Crawley Town RIP?
May 31st, 2006 · 4 Comments · Life
If the local papers are to be believed, things are not looking good for Crawley Town. The owners are talking about going into administration and selling up. Even if someone buys the club and can afford to put a team out next season, we will be starting with a 10-point deduction for going into administration. […]

The Devils Trust

Don’t write to complain about the punctuation – there is not supposed to be an apostrophe in The Devils Trust; it is a group of supporters of Crawley Town FC (AKA The Red Devils). They are holding a public meeting next week on May 9th with the intention of forming a supporters’ trust. There is […]

Harry Houdini

Its a cliche, it going to be in all the Sunday paper headlines, but that doesn’t make it any less appropriate. Well done to Harry for keeping Portsmouth up in the Premier league! Just a couple of months ago it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Pompey would be going down. The other great escape […]

What is it with Carlisle? Newly promoted from the Conference to League Two, and they have run away with the title this year for automatic promotion to League One. All the attention is on Chelsea winning the premier league, Arsenal getting to the champions league final (and the Hammers getting to the FA cup final […]

Saturdays don’t get much better
April 16th, 2006 · Comments Off on Saturdays don’t get much better · Life
All-in-all it was one of the best Saturdays I can remember: Lots of positive feedback from canvassing West Ham and Crawley Town both winning (and Portsmouth possibly saving themselves from the drop too) A couple of bargains from HMV Ham, Egg & Chips at the cafe in town A new series of Dr Who starting […]

Back in the winning habit
March 25th, 2006 · Comments Off on Back in the winning habit · Life
After letting in four goals in two successive games, West Ham are back to winning in the league again. The previous two games have knocked us a fair few places down the table though (like we will care if we win the cup!). Even so, we are still about the 4th most in-form team at […]

(Another) four-goal drubbing
March 18th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Life
West Ham managed to ship another four goals today, for the second week running. It doesn’t feel as bad as last week because we at least got two in reply, it was Harry Redknapp’s team who beat us, and we are keeping our fingers crossed that the Hammers were saving up their energy for Monday […]

Football chants

No wonder Crawley Town is in so much trouble if this is the best we can manage for terrace chants.

Own Goal

What is going on at Crawley Town FC? On the way home from the station this evening I saw all the lights on at the Broadfield stadium and wondered what was going on. Got home and put the South-East news on the TV and there was a bloke broadcasting live from the stadium. This time […]
