Sorry mate, didn't see your post
-
We were going already, so it's a bonus, but considering the distance, will a cheap ticket make much of a difference to attendance?

It did for me mate, money is tight for us at the moment so this is a nice bonus.

This is a really great gesture from Crawley Town.

Cheapest train I've found is 50 quid return just to get to London

We are driving down, parking on someone drive for a fiver, then a 40 quid prem inn in london for a stopover, sorted,

Kings Cross to Crawley overground is 30 quid return, so starting to become an expensive day if you train it down..

I'm driving down but not stopping over.
Got to go in my van though because the electric car won't get me there and back (great idea those things, good for the environment cos you can't go anywhere)
-
I drove down last season and parked in the layby right next to the ground for free. £2 a ticket is brilliant but it’s still best part of a 100 quid day out to take my boys. Fuel and food will be all on me
-
Was going anyway so good saving - going from there to Folkestone then on Chunnel. Venturing in EV so could be interesting lol

that's a 150 mile roundtrip , is that really the sort of real world figures that an EV will give you worries, my insignia diesel gives me 1000 miles to a tank, so you see why I'd be hesitant to switch to an EV? At 5 times the price..

Approx 65 mpg, are you sure you’re not exaggerating a bit?

why would I exaggerate, no point, 95% of my miles are Mway, official vauxhall figures are 80mpg extra urban, so I could actually sneak A bit more out lol
-
I get 220 mile out of the EV in summer and 550 out of a full tank of diesel.
No way I'm getting there and back in the car.
My van is more comfortable anyway.

£16.30 return from St Pancras buy a split ticket at Pancras to three bridges and then from there to Crawley or just get bus from there to ground

Picked up our three tickets but apparently not selling very well so far.
Hopefully do better when on general sale.
Looking forward to standing on a terrace with no seats in front or behind.
-
The large sum involved is getting there.
-
It's our longest away trip in League Two isn't it? Hardly surprising in a school holiday that loads of people aren't banging down the door to get there, even if ticket itself is extremely cheap.

doesn't surprise me, it's such a trek, I didn't think the cheaper tickets would sway many extra into going....

Ah well, it swayed me and is another ground to chalk off.
-
I would've gone but I'm away in the Lakes for Easter. I guess a lot of people will have holidays and family commitments that weekend.
-
Just booked mine today and the number of tickets remaining is around 250 so looks like plenty have taken advantage and we should have a good following.
-
Can't see that tbh Stockton, we've been allocated 1,345 tickets
-
If we're taking over a thousand on that trek then I'd say that's a good following tbh.
-

I stand corrected Stockton, apologies. Only 253 tickets left according to our ticket site.
That is fantastic support, even at £2 a ticket it's still a ball ache to get there
-
Wow if that’s right that is an amazing turn out, beats the few hardy souls who went last season
-
241 tickets left.
Come on let's get this sold out.
-
I'll order mine this evening (check - i cant buy until Monday)

Logged in properly etc - not the best start

-

Anyone.changed their mind and can’t go?
I’ve got a seated ticket, and trying to get my lad a seated, but they’ve sold out.
There’s still 600+ available in terrace.
-
How much to travel on Paul’s coaches I ask ..the fun on board alone is worth the cost usually .

Says 92 tickets left on the ticket site
Now it's back to 224 available, why do the sales keep fluctuating up and down?

To get you to book early, as you think they’re running out.

I wonder if it's them gradually releasing blocks of seats ?
-
Wow if that’s right that is an amazing turn out, beats the few hardy souls who went last season
I remember I was one of those hardy souls and it was a trek and a half going , and a trek and three quarters coming back
As comfortable and easy as it is on the Coaches ( and it really is * ) my backside still complained for days
I would really love to go as there is nothing to compare to watching games live , it's a good craic , you see some great people etc but at least I follow is better than watching the VidiPrinter when it is available
* Good clean , safe coaches , with all you can need for a comfortable trip , Loo, Crisps , Chocolate , Cola etc , and targetted stops etc
Also entertainment if you are on Paul's Coach, with Bingo , guess the Crowd I could go on ( insert your jokes here ) but as usual I will say a Big up to Paul , Len , Mellony Dave Mrs Rattler etc. Doing a great job for all Supporters and sorry if I've missed a few Bus organisers
And of course those Supporters , Fans with hearts like lions who do this each and every away game. You are THE heroes as well
-
Home ends sold out and only 180 tickets available for the away end.
I find it strange that the club isn't bigging up the sales of just over 1,150 away tickets.
Anyone in the know if we have definitely sold that many?
Does seem strange that when I went in last week (before general sale) ticket staff said sales were really slow.
-
We’ve given some back to Crawley. Just been announced.
-
Yeah just seen it.
-
Hi all - Crawley fan here. I think we're all a little confused as to the ticket status for Friday's game. The away terrace holds 1375 and then you get given approx 180 seats in the east stand. Given the demand for home tickets, I tweeted the club the other day about opening up the north terrace with segregation in place and they replied 'watch this space'. Then get told you had sold 1200 so was a little confused and now you've given some back. No idea what's going on.
Those who are attending, feel free to head round to Redz bar albeit it will be very busy. If you've been before, i'm pleased to say our food offerings have vastly improved (which wasn't too difficult).
In regard to the game, it should be an enjoyable one with both teams not fearing anyone on current form. I remember the reverse fixture earlier in the season, you out muscled us and did the basics a lot better than we did but we were still a very new group at that stage.
This is the first time we have been chasing the play offs and there is a real determination and belief amongst our team. Saying that, when we have 'big' crowds we tend to bottle it.
Safe trip to those heading down.
-
Excellent post
-
Thanks Crawley went twice last season (had booked a hotel etc for the postponed game so made a weekend of it).
The actual game was dire between 2 poor teams.
We are still very much work in progress but are literally taking it one game at a time. Should be a decent game, think we are too far behind to seriously consider the play offs but never say never
-
Good luck to all you hardy guys heading down to Creepy on Friday.
-
Statement from club
Due to lower than anticipated ticket sales, we have accepted a request from Crawley Town to return a portion of our allocation for Friday's game.
Therefore a limited number of tickets remain available to Rovers supporters.
Act quickly to secure yours.
Anyone wishing to buy a ticket for the game must hold a purchase history with the club.
So have we sold 1150 or not ??
-
We out muscled someone in October? Wowzers.
-
Crawley have been given the extra 550 tickets that we didn't sell. So with segregation we've probably sold around 500 to 600.
-
That’s still decent but it seems a tad disappointing after thinking we had sold out lol
-
Just done the maths.
Standing area holds 1379
We returned -550 ( as said on here )
Balance left 829
No of tickets remaining -142 ( as on website )
So that leaves 687 standing tickets sold
We have also sold 255 seats our full allocation
So total tickets sold =942
Hope that clears it up.
I am just on way to Eco Power stadium in a few mins to purchase my season tickets for next season so I will ask for clarification.
It has been very confusing but 942 is pretty good even at £2.00 a go as this is our longest mileage trip of the season and we are 18th in the league.
Tickets are on sale until 12.00 today so we may sell a few more.
Another 58 would be good to round it up to 1.000 :thumbsup:
-
There might be an area isolated for segregation space though Camps so maybe that 942 number has been reduced for that reason.

Camps, we got 1,345 in total originally and don't forget segregation, not sure what that would take out, 150 to 200 I'm guessing.
-
600 or more down to Crawley on an Easter Bank Holiday is still a fair effort, even at £2 a ticket, given we've got virtually nothing to play for, it's a 4hr trek for the majority of our fanbase, and it'll be broadcast on iFollow.
-
Let's hope the Crawley ground staff are on top of things, there's rain forecast more or less all of today and tomorrow and we know their pitch isn't the best. Don't want to jynx it but one of their fans has put on a comment on their forum about the possibility of it being postponed.
Seems like they will have to play it somehow though - don't think there is a single tuesday between now and the end of the season when both teams could play.

Ban this man from the Guess the Attendance in the coach!
-
There's an awful lot of Crystal Palace fans that live out Crawley way and I don't think they've a game tomorrow. My guess is that quite a few of them will be going along to the match which will boost the attendance a bit.
-
Did not allow for segregation.
Yes asked in the ticket office this morning and we have only sold a total of just over 600 tickets. Seated and standing combined.
So that’s a little disappointing.
It’s a long way and £30 on coach and no doubt considerably more on the train.
Cost of living and all that.
Anyway we can out shout those southern softies can’t we and bring back those 3 points.

M1 or A1?

Great to see the ground full but very quiet
Would love to get Crawley 94’s take on the game.
Can’t believe Forster was taken off I was quite impressed with him

A lot of the core fanbases’ worst nightmare came true. We always capitulate when we have a good crowd/ticket incentive. Same thing happened against Wrexham earlier in the season.
Anyway, you guys fully deserved the points and we looked lost and confused when we had the ball. Saw nothing of what has got us to where we are in the table. Were the players having an off day or was it your tactical management, I’d have to say majority was the latter.
You nullified all of our threats which primarily focus’ on not letting us win the 2nd balls in the middle of the park so we can catch you out of shape, you also didn’t really press us when we had the ball in defence/keeper which is what we want you to do, so again we can find space and pass through you. A perfect away performance - well done.
Also, no excuses on atmosphere but you can’t really hear anything when you’re in the opposite terrace especially when it’s windy! Atmosphere was flat as f*** but what do you expect when you have a load of newbies. Shouldn’t admit this but I had a bunch of teenagers behind me asking where the away fans were and they were arguing whether you guys were home fans or not. Already dreading the next one of these against Colchester in a couple of weeks. Make sure you lump money on Col U. Should at least make the tickets a fiver.
Good luck for the rest of the season.
