Crawley Town Pre Season News

Crawley Town suffered their first defeat of the pre-season campaign at the hands of Championship side Fulham on Saturday afternoon at the Broadfield Stadium.

Two first half goals from the Cottagers were enough to separate the two sides in a fairly even contest.

It was the first chance for fans to see the new-look Crawley team with nine new signings starting for John Gregory’s side.

Next up for the Reds is a home encounter on Wednesday with local rivals Brighton and Hove Albion.
