Nothing like planning ahead! With our first visit to Creepy Crawley next Saturday (15th Oct)...would be certainly good to put one over that tw*t Evans! Travelling down from sunny Notts myself. Who else is jumping aboard the Shrews bandwagon of glory?

Long trip from Brighton but I am sure I can raise the train fare.

Would have thought that for most regular and even casual away supporters this is a MUST ATTEND game New ground, against a fancied side that are in the position they're in through spending big (so not too popular), managed by one of the leagues least popular managers, top of the league against fourth only two points behind with the chance of going top with a win there on a good run so about time they slipped up........... Also a good stay over destination with Brighton just down the road If your in doubt remember how you felt not going to Gillingham and port Vale and how good it was for those who were there three more here

Will be there, not often I can get the tram halfway to a Town game (Wimbledon to East Croydon then the train). By all reports, Crawley's a dump and everyone hates them so three points would be particularly sweet.

A very tough fixture. We're 3/1 at the bookies for the win. I think that's great odds. Defo worth a punt!!

Only missed Southend so far, so another new ground for Page58. Takes me to 67 current in the Football League and Premier.

Living in beautiful Croydon, it's an easy trip down for me, still wondering whether a drive is better than the train from East Croydon. Any ideas how far the journey is from the station to the ground?

Going with 4 others from London. Looking forward to the game NOT going to Crawley. Horrible hole of a place; famous for it's chavs and a t*** of a manager oh and of course buying their way out of the football league. COYB!!!

How many of us are there in Wimbledon? Sadly Mr Wimbledonshrew who hates football has given me a quota of games I can go to, so having been to the Barnet game last week I cant go again until the AFC Wimbledon game . V annoying when its so close. Possibly grounds for divorce.

3 of us going!
Let's make some noise as we have found the last two trips down south at Gillingham and Southend - it has been too quiet in the away end.
So let's make some noise!!!

A new and nearby one for me and a big game, so definitely going.
I'm not expecting much from Crawley as a place, but it SURELY can't be any worse than Stevenage........

Not going as I'm working, would normally grasp the opportunity to tick another ground off the list but I have no desire whatsoever to visit Crawley and see that fat Scottish t**t ranting and raving on the touchline..... However I'm very much looking forward to visiting Wimbledon (well Kingstonian's ground really) in May

Some incredible and typically ignorant perceptions of Crawley here. Not sure where this comes from apart from a general hatred that's born out of envy for the money we've got or disdain for the manager. But Crawley, as a place... absolutely nothing wrong with it. I grew up there and had 18 very nice years. Yes, it's a new town, yes it has some chavs. Strange, because I saw enough of them in York and Cambridge last season. It's also got one of the lowest rates of unemployment of any UK town, fantastic leisure facilities, a can-do attitude and some cracking boozers. It's also, like the club, got a bit of money. And ranked alongside places like Dagenham, Port Vale, Gillingham, Aldershot and the sheer out-of-season wind-battered nothingness of places like Torquay and Southend... don't even get me started. I mean, have you ever tried to do anything other than go to football in Barnet on a Saturday afternoon? If halal meat's not your thing then don't bother. I have enclosed some cherished childhood images - one of my old road, one of my old local pub, and another of where I used to walk the neighbour's dog. It was a West Highland Terrier, but she claimed she'd never even ventured north of Gatwick Airport. Not my definition of "a horrible hole of a place"... indeed, of all the places I've lived - Crawley, Swansea, Lewisham, Tooting, Ealing, Hanwell and Hove, I'd rate it a comfortable third best.

Love the syncopated contrast between the tudor-themed gabled construction on the left, and the concreted brutalist architecture which nestles to the right. A fantastic, sympathetic execution.

According to wiki - so it must be true, the Town of Crawley has the motto "I grow and I rejoice" which if you ask me is asking for trouble from the drugs team at Scotland Yard

To be fair your completely right, i mean, every multi story car park that i've ever seen is magnificently decorated, none of them look like ours, hmm.

But that's no excuse.
Nor is it really the point.
