The League Cup

[Annoyed Grunt]

We play the previous Friday (home to Forest) and have a trip to Hull the following Saturday, so if we have any say in it I'd imagine we'd prefer Tuesday, but I suppose it's principally Crawley's choice.

According to the fixture poster, it's down for the 29th August.

By 'fixture poster' do you mean the person who alerted this forum thread or a pre-printed wall-hanger with a fixture list and a blank space, created yonks ago by somebody who doesn't work for Crawley?

Good news for Bruce then!

[General Mannerheim]

All over that. Working in london has its merits!

[Salford Trotter]

Count me in too

Well, there are a couple of people I need to see down there but was putting it of for a few weeks as I'm away the week after next. Problem is, my boss might start wondering why these London meets are all of a sudden such burning issues?! Hmmmm.

Off to Crawley this afternoon as it happens, its a dump but it has quite good shops... For those going - the ground is just about walkable from the station though theres's parking at Broadfield i think (its been about 15 years since i went to watch the Arsenal 'celebrity' team take on Crawley) theres also a leisure centre nearby which has a fair amount of parking space too. Not any on road parking.

Hi there - really looking forward to this already.

In a competitive match you're (one of?) the biggest club(s) we've entertained (depends on your view of Derby and Stoke)

Hopefully you'll be our 5th victim out of 6 championship sides in cup comps in last 2 years. (Hull, Derby, Millwall and Bristol City being the others)

Whatever the result, for those that come enjoy the night out.

Above incorrect. Don't use the leisure centre or you may get locked in. Free parking available just before the ground on the A23, coming from J11 of M23. Street parking with a 10-15 minute walk also available. For both you'd need to be there by 1845. Some of the town isn't the best, but the whole place is by no means a dump.

Tilgate Park is nice but i have to disagree. My sister used to live there and certainly most of the places i have been to in Crawley aren't as nice as much of the rest of Sussex.

Was going to say didn't you have United in the cup, but that was at OT.

Looking forward to it.

That's a bit like saying a town isn't as nice as the country. Surely both rely on each other. It's all relative anyway, isn't it? One thing for sure is all Bolton fans will get a warm welcome.

Practically the whole of London is a dump when you live in gods green and gracious Northern lands..

I hope they tues the Choosesday (28th). Can't make the Wednesday, and I'd like to go.

It's forty minutes on the train from Victoria, shorter journey than many a tube ride!

According to their website matchday tickets for this season are £22 for adults, though maybe that's just league and it will be different pricing for the cup.
