Providing the official Red Devil supporters transport to away games - We are back now taking bookings for coaches for this season which is going to be exciting - come and support your team on the road.
I was in two minds about travelling by coach. As I said to Pat on Saturday I thought it might be a closed shop/bit of a clique. Well I got that totally wrong. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming - and from one of our pubs we visit - Hello Alain. I hope that you have recovered after Saturdays result, disappointing but I suspect that some of your group didn’t know the result due to the amount of shots that were consumed just prior to jumping on the coach. As always it was an absolute pleasure to play host to you all, a more polite and social group would be hard to find anywhere. Please pass our thanks and regards to all members of the group as we enjoyed the day, one of the best we have had in eighteen years! Regards Andy & Donna Cross Keys and another from Supporter Neil Webster - Hi Alain Tony Bish and I really enjoyed yesterday and as you say, you have us hooked now!Status of away travel

Yesterday was full of emotions for every Crawley supporter and at 4.55pm we were confirmed as a EFL League 2 side for next season – the euphora by the supporters as they ran onto the pitch was one of total relief and this wretched season had come to an end.
We have survived not by other teams results but our own scoreline taking a point from the 0-0 draw against Salford City who needed the win to secure automatic promotion to League 1. So it was Barrow and Harrogate who will be playing in the National League next season and little old Crawley can now plan ahead for another season in the EFL.
A team who actually only won 8 games all season survived, which has to be some sort of record but not necessarily one to be proud of.
Congratulations to all the Owners and backroom staff, team management, players who have been under great pressure this season and on the last day achieved what we all hoped for and it was like the day we got into the play offs the first time, but this achievement feels much better. It will be a summer of hopefully rebuilding for next season – and most likely with Colin Kazim Richards as manager – the club will have some hard decisions to make and it all starts tomorrow.
We all know that our players were under great pressure to get results and as we know it has been a horrible season for injuries – all our players have contributed to our survival but one player deserves a mention above all – Jacob Chapman – his performances in goal since joining on loan in January have been immense and some of the save made were world class, keeping us in matches when we so easily could have lost. He now returns to Huddersfield and we all thank him for his contribution to our survival.
So we now know some of the new teams in League 2 next season, Exeter City, Northampton Town, Rotherham United, Port Vale and York City – with the National League play-off winners. We have lost trips to Bromley, MK Dons and Cambridge United all promoted to League 1.
The League Two fixtures are released at the end of June, we will be straight onto getting everything in place for the away travel when we start again in August for our next venture travelling around the country following our own Red Devils.
