It's time for another Watch Party as Crawley Town gears up to face Barnsley FC at the Broadfield Stadium. With Crawley sitting in 8th place and Barnsley just behind in 9th, this match promises to be a close and competitive encounter. Barnsley FC, nicknamed "the Colliers," founded in 1887 by Reverend Tiverton Preedy. Originally donning blue, the club switched to red and white colors in 1904. Over the years, Barnsley has experienced many highs and lows, including winning the FA Cup in 1912 and playing in the Premier League during the 1997–98 season. Although they have since faced several relegations, the Colliers have a rich legacy in the second tier of English football, where they have spent more seasons than any other team. As the match kicks off, we'll be watching closely to see how Crawley handles Barnsley’s experienced squad. A victory could solidify Crawley’s position in the top half of the table and provide a crucial boost as the season progresses. The energy from the home crowd at Broadfield Stadium, combined with the passion of Crawley’s supporters joining the Watch Party, will be vital in pushing the team towards success. So, grab your snacks, settle in, and let’s cheer Crawley Town on to what we hope will be a memorable win against Barnsley FC! Thank you for attending and COYR!

It's time for another exciting Crawley Town match, and this time, we're up against Cambridge United. Cambridge United, also known as "The U’s," have a history dating back to their founding in 1912 as Abbey United. The club took on its current name in 1951 and has since experienced a rollercoaster journey through the English football league system. They began in local amateur leagues before making their way into the Southern League, eventually earning their place in the Football League in 1970. Their climb up the leagues was marked by notable achievements, including back-to-back Southern League Premier Division titles in 1968–69 and 1969–70. Under the management of John Beck, Cambridge United enjoyed a golden period in the early 1990s, securing promotions and even reaching the Second Division play-offs. However, the club also faced tough times, enduring multiple relegations that saw them drop to the fourth tier and eventually into the Conference. After nine challenging seasons in non-league football, they made a triumphant return to the Football League in 2014. Most recently, in 2021, Cambridge United earned promotion to League One, where they’ve been battling to establish themselves ever since. Cambridge United kicked off their League One campaign this season with a 2-0 loss to Stockport, a result that they’ll be looking to bounce back from as they face Crawley.

Get ready, Crawley Town fans! It's time for another watch party as we embark on our journey in League One following that unforgettable play-off victory against Crewe Alexandra. Our first opponent is Blackpool FC, a team with a long history in English football. Blackpool Football Club, based in the seaside town of Blackpool, Lancashire, has been around since 1887. The club has played at Bloomfield Road since 1901 and has seen its fair share of ups and downs over the years. Known for their tangerine shirts since 1923, Blackpool has experienced everything from top-flight success to challenging times in the lower leagues. One of the club's most famous moments came in 1953 when they won the FA Cup in what’s often called the "Matthews Final," coming back from 3-1 down to win 4-3 against Bolton Wanderers. The 1950s also saw them consistently finishing near the top of the First Division, with Stanley Matthews winning the inaugural Ballon d'Or in 1956. However, Blackpool's history hasn't been without its struggles. The club faced several relegations and financial issues, particularly during the controversial Oyston family ownership. Despite these challenges, Blackpool made a remarkable return to the Premier League in 2010 and have continued to fight their way back up the leagues. As Crawley Town faces Blackpool in our first League One match, it is our time to shine. Thank you for attending and COYR!
