You will have to excuse the slightly cynical, confrontational tone at the start of this article but I have just watched us outplay Reading for large parts of the game only for our poor finishing at times, their inspired defending and our poor defending to consign us...
My one abiding memory of playing Shrewsbury took place on 27th February 2012, a rare Monday night game for us, when I watched the away match live on TV in Redz bar. We had already beaten them at home 2-1 (Sergio Torres and Dean Howell) on 15th October 2011, a win...
Looking back to our first meeting with Bolton (The Trotters) takes us back to a Carabao Cup second round tie on 28th August 2012, our first season in League One. Bolton had just been relegated from the Premier League and were looking for an immediate return. Our...
With the sad (in my eyes, anyway) news this week that the club are not going to contest the Sussex Senior Cup this season, I thought I would look back to when we first gained entry into what was then (and probably still is, for many local sides) a very prestigious...

What a quiet couple of months since the last League Two match! Just a little matter of an EFL play-off final win at Wembley, followed a few weeks later by a comprehensive dismantling and rebuild of our successful squad! A great shame to lose many of the iconic...
For the last time – honest! It’s my personal opinion that I have just witnessed the best two Red Devils performances I have watched in 65-odd years as a Crawley fan, and to see our team perform like that on live TV as well (how many others, like me, got home on...
What a treat! A bonus edition of RRD, thanks to Crawley playing into the second week of May – and not down to postponed matches due to the state of the Town Meadow pitch! With no previous play-off campaigns to look back on, I thought I would firstly revisit season...
The end of another season . . . or maybe not? Lots of memories from our most successful season for several years, especially for the regular away fans who have finally been rewarded for their dedication with some brilliant away performances. Let’s just hope we can...
Who cares about the Wrexham result! Well, lots of us, I guess, but I am still basking in the superb wins at Newport and Mansfield! I also really liked the Mansfield local paper headline about Mansfield being humiliated by ‘classy’ Crawley, which showed considerably...
