    We have sold out our away allocation for tomorrow, as we surf a tidal wave of optimism back towards the Championship.

    We're the best team in the league with the best manager and an 'excellent' SMT. What's not to likey?

    Crawley is a toilet, hopefully 3 points will make up for the visit.

    Should be winning this. We need to if we’re going to stay in touch.

    Looking for a 4 goal win and a clean sheet.
    Crawley are crap - like 3 of the last four teams we have beaten.

    Granted you can only beat who's in front of you, but we have had (Wycombe aside) the easiest November / December run we're ever likely to have.
    Any promotion chasing team would tear Crawley a new one.
    Yet they humiliated us at the Valley on 3rd December.

    I’ll settle for a win - not being greedy about goals scored but would be good to get a clean sheet <cheers>

    Piss take.

    I’ve just seen the pitch & it is covered in surface water.

    They’ve just had a downpour there - hopefully it’ll disperse

    Pity the poor fans that have to go back a second time, at least it'll be dark!

    The referee is set to take a further look at the pitch ahead of kick-off as the rain continues to pour here in West Sussex.

    We will update fans with the result at the earliest possible opportunity

    Called off at 2.41pm

    An embarrassing effort by both the staff at Crawley Town, a two Bob non league club and it shows, and ref.

    I hope our travelling support is going to be reimbursed.

    What a joke.

    This really is a tin-pot league. Huge let-down for our travelling fans.

    Disgraceful, once there was a doubt of the game going ahead then surely there was a concern for the player's welfare. THEN it should have been called off.

    What a miserable start to 2025 for our fans.

    Wishing them all a trouble-free journey home.
    They should take tomorrow off to get over the disappointment.

    Football has got to wake up, and fast.

    Without paying fans - particularly paying travelling fans - it is nothing.

    I am not talking about professional forum fans that you find elsewhere, I am talking about the likes of the 600 plus who have just wasted £100 each on a futile trip to Crawley.

    • Look at the weather forecast
    • Look at the limited capabilities of the pub side hosting the game
    • Make an early decision based on points 1&2

    Calling a game off at 2.41pm, mainly because Crawley had a dad’s army armed with mops and were caught unawares, is not acceptable.
