Well done to the SA for sorting out FOC travel tomorrow for those who went on the coaches today!

I think its very poor organisation and I suspect has given Crawley an advantage. One of my friends said he wouldn't be surprised if Crawley pulled a fast one and seeing the sprinklers on in one of the pictures, it looks like he was correct!


I don’t see why it gives Crawley an advantage. It’s negative for both clubs.


If does give them a slight advantage. Crawley's players can go home in the evening and treat it as a normal game. Our players are coopted up in a hotel for another day.

Crawley isn’t that far and the game is tomorrow evening. I suspect they will go home too.

Maybe, as it's an evening game. However, that is an inconvenience the Crawley players don't have.

Depends on the hotel. Might be a night of luxury for our players while the Crawley lads sleep in bunk beds in their shared one bedroom apartment.

Yeah, can’t see anyway this is an advantage to Crawley. The only way it would have been an advantage is if we agreed to keep our home leg to Thursday and play that first, which would never have happened.

It’s an inconvenience for both clubs, but more to our fans due to the travel and it now being on a work day.
