Crawley Town Football Club Websites

The official Crawley Town FC website is crawleytownfc.com. Most football club websites are a bit clunky, but Crawley Town’s is particularly poor (or at least it was in September 2011; they may have improved it since then):

• It’s crippled by its reliance on unnecessary JavaScript. Ironically, even the so-called ‘accessibility’ page doesn’t seem to work without JavaScript.
• It is slow to load, mostly due to its heavy use of images.
• On the plus side, it contains plenty of advertisements, if that’s what you’re after instead of useful information.

If you actually want to find out anything, you will be better off trying an unofficial website, www.ctfc.net, which is more user-friendly than the official site, although it does not always carry up-to-date information on matters such as ticket availability (your best bet for this is to phone the club on 01293 410000).

There are several supporters’ websites:

• www.ctfcsa.co.uk
• www.ctfcsc.co.uk
• www.crawley-devils.co.nr
• www.crawleytown-mad.co.uk

Location, Directions and Car Parking

Crawley Town FC play at Broadfield Stadium, which is next to the A23 at Southgate roundabout. The stadium’s car park usually fills up early on match days. See our Broadfield Stadium page for directions and information about public transport and car parking.

Ownership of Crawley Town FC

The current owners of Crawley Town Football Club appear to be upstanding, law-abiding citizens, although there is a good deal of uncertainty about the source of the money that has bankrolled the club’s recent spending spree. According to newspaper reports, much of the investment has been provided by unidentified business interests in Hong Kong.

The previous owners weren’t quite so upstanding and law-abiding: one of them was sent to prison for tax fraud.
