My brother-in-law lives in Crawley and says he has no interest in football. In fact I think he is Palace like his father which is entirely consistent with having no interest in football.
This led me to the thought that there may be quite a lot of Nigels (and Nigellas) in Crawley who have left the delights of Croydon behind after obtaining employment at Gatwick Airport. If they are behind the check in desk, they can levy extra charges on anyone with a Brighton post code. They might then have Crawley as a second team after Palace.
Crawley are finding life in League One a bit of struggle They are currently 20th in the table, but are 9th in the form table while we are 17th,
Crawley's manager is one time Addick Rob Elliiot, back from the north-east and he was critical of his side's performance last Saturday in the FA Cup when they lost 3-4 at home: https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/24766112.rob-elliot-laments-poor-goals-crawley-town-exit-fa-cup/
It should be noted that seven of the players who won the play off final have left.
Pessimists say that the victory at Walsall was irrelevant, but it might have given the team some much needed confidence. Three points tonight might move us into the top half of the table, but I am nervous about the outcome.
