The Crawley Town Courier
Match9 Mar 2030
The wait goes on for Crawley Town
17 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Seb Revan breaks a bone — 27 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Adam Carter damages knee ligaments — 56 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 56 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Ben Radcliffe hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Crawley Town can pretend not to have heard.

Tempers go at Crawley Town
Keanan Bennetts was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Jonny Russell signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jonny Russell commits to Crawley Town for another 3 years.

Barnsley take the points off Crawley Town
Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The Nick Freeman story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Nick Freeman signs something — a contract at Crawley Town or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
