Well not being a regular I thought that I would give a qui k summary of my trip over.
Crawley is a hole and having arrived at 8.00 in the morning I had plenty of time to confirm this. After walking around the centre finally found a proper cafe, not good. Went to Ladbrokes and had a bet on the football and a horse called McCabes Creek (came in 4th). Found a pub, stood at the bar, next to a twat who unbelievably said to the barmaid, 'if you were my Mum I'd still be breastfeeding'...the silence was deafening.
Met a few from here, nice to meet you all.
The game itself has been described pretty well in other threads but it is hard to believe that we didn't win but just goes to show how hard it is to beat a team that parks the bus. They were a poor side but disciplined and had a plan. The pitch was small and their forwards worked hard. Done was constantly making runs but we were missing Baxter to thread the ball through to him and space was very limited with21 players in 1 half. Can't really say anyone played badly. If we'd got the first goal we would have won 2 or 3 nil.
